Norwegian Jewel Review

Additional details
My husband and I spent 9 days on the Norwegian Jewel march 6th - the 15th. This is my 10th cruise. I have cruised with, in order of my favorite to least favorite, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Carnival, and Cunard.
The ship's decor is nice, the room was beautiful -although there was a weird noise which shook the bed at around 5:30 a.m. every morning. We do not know what it was but it lasted around 1-2 hours. The room steward was excellent.
Food in the buffet and regular dining rooms was sub-par. It was as if they knew you would go the the pay for restaurants to eat quality food, which is what we had to do 3 times. The other times were spent at the garden cafe and buffet. The buffet got better the last 3 days. Maybe because the trip was winding down and they wanted to give a good impression for the reviews people were going to turn in.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
We had a mini-suite. The room was done in cherry wood. Nice closet/drawer space. Bathroom was spacious, Balcony was great,Television looked loke it was from the 1970's. They need a dvd player in the room, as the T.V. channels are not many. We used our laptop for dvd viewing. All other cruise lines have dvd players in the mini-suites. Fridge in room was great. Cabin was made up twice per day. Very quiet area except for the bed shook like a small earthquake at around 5:00 a,m every morning for a few hours. It would shake every 1 to 2 minutes for about 3 seconds at a time.
