My cabin for these voyages were located on the starboard side, Deck 5 and we had the same cabin steward (Emmerson) for the entire 27 days. Emmerson was friendly and competent. I had sailed in cabin with this layout 2 months prior. One thing that I liked that I had not seen before on other Jewel class vessels and I’m guessing was added during the last refurbishment was the USB port and 2 extra AC outlets built in to the TV panel in the cabin. The 220v outlet was still available under the fridge but also connected to a 220v multi plug outlet. So there were additional ports available.

NCL excursion to Blarney castle. Kissed the stone. Noticed that I got double the shore excursion credit of $50.

I believe and understand that for the majority of the people on this voyage that:

- they were unaware this would be a tender port,

- they were unaware this would not be in Dublin city,

- this was there only chance to visit Dublin,

- they had booked their own shore excursion and were planning on meeting their guid/group at a certain time,

- it was a 30 minute tender trip from the Pearl to land and then 30 minutes to get from land back to the Pearl

I too was also unaware that May 06th was a holiday (Mayday), or that every tender from the Pearl was required to also have a local escort for each tender from the Pearl to the harbor and then escort the tender back out of the harbor.Voyage 01: Transatlantic Eastbound (13 Day) April 28th - May 11th, 2019

Don’t treat the crew like crap.
