This was my fifth cruise on NCL, my previous being on the Dawn. On my last cruise on the Dawn be had BA cabins on 10 deck at overlooking the stern of the ship, we booked the same cabin on the Jewel. A few weeks before the sailing we received an e-mail offering an up-grade to a suite. We decided to opt for this as it was a 9 night cruise with three sea days. What was not disclosed by the NCL sales person was that we had been sold a "Disabled Suite" and they had down graded their much publicized L'Occitane bathroom products to some obscure product line which fell well short of the excellence of L'Occitane's products. I will confine this review to the areas that specifically cover the suite experiences as other experiences are fully and well covered in other peoples reviews.
Boarding
This is were the suite paid off big time. The private check-in lounge at Miami was a dream and totally stress free. Within minutes we were onboard and escorted to our suite.
