My husband and I like to cruise it is a fun way to relax. We went on a family cruise (we were 21 people). This was was first on NCL...and NEVER AGAIN. First off, if you want a decent meal you need to go to a speciality restaurant and they run around 25 bucks a person. The Garden Cafe provides food but it is substandard at most. The rooms are tiny. The bathrooms are tiny. Room service is a joke there is very limited choices of sandwiches etc.The staff is ok, they just seemed overwhelemed by it all...but overall they were nice and pleasant. The Layout of the Jewel looks like a marathon runners race...take the elevator to this floor cross over take another elevator..it is horrid.We did the walk of disembarkment and we literally had to walk a mile to get out of the terminal. Save your money folks....go somewhere else
