Dover Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews

Travel to the port, and embarkation We took a train from Waterloo East station - a train that started at Charing Cross, but Waterloo East is a bit easier for us to get to from home. The train departed at 0956 and arrived at Dover Priory on time at 1132. The exit from the station required us to cross by a footbridge, but there are lifts if you can't manage stairs. At the taxi rank, we found another ...

Baltic Capitals on the Norwegian Jewel: 4 July 2008 Ahoy. This is my first review and only my second cruise, so I only have RCCL to compare it with. On that cruise, I was struck by the number of complaints in the tenders about how Princess did this better, Holland America did that better, RCCL's tender operations did not measure up to P&O's, etc. Having met great people, received good service ...

Family of 4 (two teens) just returned from July 16 Baltic cruise on NCL Jewel. After 5 wonderful nights in London, we took the train from London Waterloo station to Dover (for entire family cost on train was approx 40 BP). Train trip was pleasant and fast (1 hr 40 min). Ample room for luggage on train. Taxi to ship was approx. 15 BP. Embarkation was very smooth. As a latitude member wait to get to ...

I cruised to the Baltics aboard the NCL Jewel on the 4th July sailing. Myself (30s professional), my parents (60s retired) and my young nephew (10yrs) shared a beautiful mini-suite on Deck 11. Overall we enjoyed the cruise, the ports were wonderful and the food onboard was very good. However we found the service to be quite uneven. Read on for a detailed and realistic review of what to expect. ...

My wife and I returned from a thirty day vacation which included a tour of Ireland, and a tour of Scotland with a 12 night cruise on the Norwegian Jewel stuck in the middle. So we originated our cruise from Victoria Station in downtown London. We booked our transportation to get to the Dover Cruise terminal with National Express bus service over the Internet months in advance. The cost for a ...

We are 2 cruisers in our early 50's and we traveled alone, this was our 10th cruise - 6th with NCL. This was our first trip to Europe so we spent considerable time researching excursion options in order to make the best use of our short time overseas. After barely making our flight transfer in Detroit we arrived at Gatwick airport around 10:30 on a Saturday morning. Much advice had been given on ...

My family sailed on the Norwegian Jewel, from Dover, UK, to the Baltics on 5/29/08. I would like to tell you a few things about our trip. I have tried to express my feelings by phone, but it appears that NCL could care about those of us who work 9-5. They work those hours and appear to care less about those of us who are looking for a vacation. It seems that with today's economy, you just may have ...

We recently booked a trip on the Norwegian Jewel at short notice on the internet. The ports of call on the cruise were of great interest to my wife and I as we had never cruised this area before, although we have cruised for many years. This was our first cruise with NCL and we were looking forward to the idea of 'freestyle' cruising as advertised in their brochure We arrived at the port around ...

We started our Baltic trip with four days in London and two days in Dover. We used National Express for travel from Heathrow to London, London to Dover and Dover to Canterbury - in each instance the service was efficient and inexpensive and I booked all tickets on line. While we saw much in London, the highlights were the London Eye and seeing the Phantom of the Opera. Our B&B was very basic but ...

We began with our flight from LAX into Heathrow four days pre-cruise. We booked our flights, hotels and transportation from London to Dover on our own (not thru cruise line). After four rain drenching days in London, we took the direct train from Victoria Station to Dover Priory. Wonderful ride and luggage not an issue. We spent the night before the cruise at the Premier Inn in Dover nearest ...
