From the time we lined up to get on the ship for over 2 hours we knew we were in trouble. Then they took our passports everyone was freaking out not to be returned till end of cruise. We splurged and got a mini suite aft what a waste of money. The bathroom has a bath but its very high and narrow i have bad knees and it was a struggle my husband is 6'6 and he had to bend over to wash his hair. Bed was big very firm no extras at all . Food was fantastic we ate in Cagneys, Teppanyaki and La Bistro all amazing food and staff. Buffet was excellent great selection, lovely out door area at the back to have breakfast. Drinks good get a food and drink package we did. Water very expensive, coffee ok and cheap. We were on 7 days and only had 2 shows they were spectacular but you need that every night. Bingo big rip off costs double the other companies. Nothing ever runs on time and there was very little to do during the day. Staff had there moments and some didn't understand or didnt want to. Will never go near Norwegian again . No gluten free desserts or food only bread in dining room. Specialty restaurants offered g/f options. On this cruise everything was a fair distance no assistance offered from jewel.

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MB

Larger than balcony but not worth $550 AU a day. Bathroom with bath a nightmare if your tall or have trouble lifting your legs. You get nothing extra but some room. To open wardrobes you have to sit on the bed to get something out.
