Norwegian Jewel Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This is my personal experience on the Norwegian Jewel, others may have a different view but this is mine. We booked a back to back cruise, 7 days on the Norwegian Jewel, spend a night in New York and then board the Norwegian Gem for another 7 days. We are hooked on cruising. My wife and I booked these cruises back in May 2011. We enjoy cruises that are longer than 7 days. By booking a back to back it fits our needs.
Day one -â€" We drove from Delaware to the port in Manhattan, it took approximately 3 hours. We decided to park in the ports parking area. The procedure was quick and easy. Boarding the Jewel was also quick and easy, we knew what to expect since we have been on more than 25 cruises over the past 15 years.
We have cruised on Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Line. Our preference is Norwegian due to the "Freestyle" and the affordability. Both make the cruise very relaxing and enjoyable.
Cabin Review
Aft-Facing Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin 11654 is large for a handicap cabin, nice size bathroom, comfortable bed if you are not over 6 ft tall, lacks decorations such as pictures, wood grain walls and a comfortable sitting area or chair.
