There were 8 people in our family group, 6 adults and two children aged 8 and 12. Previous cruise experience ranged from none to 4 cruises. None of us had been on Norwegian or the Jewel. We had 4 cabins:

11012 (SC 2 bedroom Suite)

11628 (MB Minisuite port side near stern)

Cabin Review

Family Penthouse with Balcony

Cabin SC

The suite was great. We had been in a larger suite in the past but this was nicely furnished and well organized. The bed in the second bedroom, with an egg crate pad, was quite comfortable. The location worked well for us, not far from the pool area, the buffer, the fitness center just up a few flights from the Magnums/Martini/Maltings bar complex. The service was great (see below). Going forward, this is the way we will travel. Quirks; the door on the second bedroom locks when closed and you need your key card to reopen it. It is possible to be locked out of it... With the light on in the shower you are visible from the balcony of the adjacent mini-suite.

Not much to see here, lots of opportunities to separate you from your money. Creek Street is a nice photo op. We just walked around, shopped, found a dive bar.
