Sail Date: Mar 2012
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

We sailed on the Norwegian Jewel out of New York on March 10th. It was the first cruise for my husband and I. There were 4 others with us and 3 of them have been on other cruises. The weather was chilly but living in the Northeast I know it could have been a lot worse so the 40 + temperatures was fine with me.

We arrived at the terminal at 11AM. Our bags were taken as we exited the car. Check in was smooth and organized. We were boarding the ship by 11:30AM. We headed to the buffet which was crowed but we were able to find seats with no problem. We still had to wait for our rooms so we just hung out by the pool and took some pictures. Our cabins were ready by 1:30. We sat on our balconies and took some pictures as we sailed away.

Our cabin was fantastic. The steward kept it clean and I loved the little animals she made each night.

Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MA

They were a nice size for two people. We were on deck 11 and surprisingly we did not hear the parties from the pool area ( which was directly above us).

I loved having a balcony. The beds were comfortable. It was a bit difficult getting in and out of the closet since it was so close to the bed. I had to sit on the bed or kneel in the closet to get to my shoes which were on the floor with the suitcases. Other than that it was perfect.
