Dover to the Transatlantic Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews

Bottom Line This is a very long review, so for those who want to skip to the bottom line, here it is - I very much enjoyed my cruise on the Jewel. As noted below, there were a few minor negatives, but they were far outweighed by the positives. The ship is nice, the itinerary was excellent (other than missing a port), the staff was great, the entertainment was good (with Le Cirque Bijou being ...

Overall, this was a very enjoyable cruise. That said, I must warn that this route is not for those expecting glorious weather. I was well aware that booking a North Atlantic cruise in September could lead to a bumpy ride and I was not disappointed. More of that later in the review.

I went to the airport information desk and had the ...

Well here we go again, seems like it took years to be leaving for another cruise! Actually it was only 6 months. but a long 6 months. By the by we were gone 17 days all told and we each had a 22 inch carry on and a small back pack for the trip. There is a laundry on board.
