This is the second NCL cruise on the jewel. The first was three years ago up to Quebec. We loved it and could not wait to go again!
This time we spent two days in NYC doing the tourist thing before boarding on the Sat. Now we came here to relax and when seeing in the line with hundreds of spring breakers in line with creates of their own wine concerns began to grow. We don't get this in the UK so we were not sure how it would fare. Throughout the cruise they were fantastic, we did venture to the white party which was clearly aimed at them but being 40 we quickly got out and went to the more easy going family party.
Embarking could not have been easier and we got into our room about 1.30. We had an aft facing balcony so we could watch New York as we sailed out. Our room was great and being three years since we were last on this boat we thought she might look a bit worn but all still looked new. The only criticism was the TV. Come on guys this was tiny and still used a tube! When one film ended we had to walk up and stare a few inches from it to read the captions at the end, it was concluding the story so needed reading!
