I loved my experience on The Norwegian Jewel. I liked the smaller ship. The crew couldn't have been any nicer, always helpful with big smiles. I especially enjoyed the French and Italian restaurants. I also liked all the other dining options. The Casino was so fun (Leslie did a great job). My room was comfortable and always clean. My friend and I signed up for a shore excursion at every port. Our best was the zip lining in Skagway. Dusty and Ducky had so much patience with us two "old" ladies. It was a blast! The other excursions were also enjoyable. There were plenty of on board activities to keep you as busy as you wanted to be. Both embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly - everyone was so kind and helpful. I definitely plan to cruise Norwegian again, hopefully out of Boston to New England and Canada. I highly recommend the Alaska cruise with Norwegian.
