About us. My wife and I are 60 years old and have cruised RCI once and Norwegian on the Jewel twice out of New Orleans prior to our cruise on the Jewel out of Houston Bayport on 10/25/14. We were in room 14008 in the haven.

The port: We drove from about 200 miles away and came in from the east on I-10. The drive in was very easy with divided highways and few lights. We arrived about 10:30 AM and it was very easy to hand off the bags to a seacap at the curb of the terminal building and park nearby in the lot. They do not take water or sodas as checked baggage, you must carry these items on. The lot was less than 1/3 full.

Security was quick and easy. The employee gave us a boarding number and didn’t know anything about the priority lounge for suites and VIP’s. There was a sign along the left hand wall as you cleared security for the haven and suites lounge. We ignored the employee and went to the suite lounge. The check in was a little bit slow as there were 2 ladies with computers and little cameras to get your credit card and picture and one of them was being trained by the other.

Cabin Review

Courtyard Villa with Balcony

Cabin H4

Very nice room. Carpet in the haven seems to be new from last April. The bed in the master bedroom was also improved from April, it was one of the best I've ever slept in. There was noise from the now public sun deck above the room during the day, however, it was quiet at night.
