Nice common areas on deck - appreciated the stage area in a central spot that was consistent with music and entertainment throughout sea days and in the afternoons as cruisers were returning to the ship.

The cruise.. in a nutshell.. Flew to NYC, and then got on the big bird, 777, to London, man that beast looks big, especially when you sit in row 42 of 43 rows.. LOL. Tiny seats, no leg room.. the body curves so you really don't have much legroom on the window seat, but we figured it beats the 5 seats in the middle... let the time warp start! The sun was up and then it was DOWN and then it was UP. ...

We started off feeling like we were stranded in the airport at Gatwick. Once we got through customs and into the terminal building there was no NCL person to be found. We wanted to take the NCL bus to the port, I had contacted NCL prior to our departure and was assured that our name would be put on the "list" to reserve space on the bus for us. I went to the airport information desk and had the ...

This was my 7th cruise (Princess in '02, Celebrity in '04 & '06, NCL in '07, and RCCL twice in 2008). I traveled with my wife and three children (5, 4, and 2). With us were my parents (60s), my sister and her children (10 & 9), and my aunt. We stayed in London at Le Meridien Piccadilly Circus for 2 nights pre-cruise. We used the underground to get from Heathrow to PC. That was really easy but ...

Norwegian Jewel was very good. Beauiful ship but miss the big beautiful atiums of other lines. Dining-Good alternative dining, though we never pay for extra dining. We prefer to travel more often and economize. Loved the Blue Lagoon (never crowded), especially while leaving a port. Comfort food great there. Dining room good but SLOW service. Waiters terribly rushed. Not enough staff. Started ...

First an introduction:I'm 16, from London, and this is holiday was my first cruise. My Mum came with me- largely to finance it! The suggestion of a cruise was immediately met with the usual groans and preconceptions- 'it'll be full of old people' or 'we'll get seasick' or even 'we'll die of some swine/gastronorovirus disease' (find out how many of these were true by reading on...) However, I tried ...

Overall our experience on the Jewel was positive.  The entertainment was wonderful, the cabin more spacious than most I've sailed in and the staff was cheerful and efficient.  My husband and I especially enjoyed the piano player, guitar player and small combos that played in various areas throughout the day and evening.  We were blessed with wonderful weather throughout the cruise which always ...

We arranged our trip and did airfare and transfers through NCL. We are headed to Hawaii later this summer and did NOT book air and transfers. Dover is a long way from Heathrow and we were flying in same day. NCL put our connection at less than 45 minutes and due to a short delay on the outbound flight, we were quickly rerouted to another airline in order to make the transatlantic flight. Of course ...

We are family of 4 with 2 daughters aged 4 and 6. Last year we cruised Alaska with Carnival Spirit and had an amazing time. The girls loved kids club, we couldn't get them off the boat at ports and found that kids club was educational, teaching them about the animals of the region. We also found the food in the dining room to be great and struggled to choose each night between a range of delicious ...

    We started our vacation with two days in London before going to Dover.  We did all the arrangements are on own and saved money even though we stayed at the same hotel that the cruise uses.  We took Silver fleet to Dover and it was fast, efficient and cost effective.   We planned this cruise based on the ports, We were orginally booked on Carnival but they cancelled their Baltic Cruises due to ...

Others have covered many of my thoughts about this cruise so I'll try not to repeat those items A little backgrounder: We sailed on the NCL Pearl last fall (which is the "sister" ship to the Jewel) so we were very familiar with the ship layout and facilities.  Except for the lack of bowling and rock climbing, the two ships are accentually identical, so many of our impressions were based on a ...
