April 1, 2018 to April 16, 2018 from Tokyo to Shanghai. First night in La Bistro first choice wine is not available, second the same. Cabin has noise and we are not able to slip. Cabin phone is not working. Change a cabin 2 times. Most of food OK, but beef and burgers are not eatable. In Tsar restaurant waiting for desert 25 min, waiters disappeared and after desert came melted. Pastries and ice ...

Retired couple with 20 + cruises many different cruise lines: Second time on the Jewel. Just OK. Food all restaurants greatly improved over last Jewel cruise (2014). Garden Buffet expanded in more and better entree selections. Le Bistro still our favorite. Proper cleanliness throughout the ship - male thermal suite always maintained well. Entertainment fair to poor. Same shows as 4 years ...

We chose 5his cruise because of the itinerary. Asia. We started in Singapore. Embarkation was easy and quick. Lunch in the dining room seemed to take forever, but since 5he cabins weren’t ready, it didn’t really matter. We found out at that time that no bread is served with lunch entrees unless you ask for it. Dinner was supposed to start at 5, but because of the life boat drill, the room wasn’t ...

We traveled first for 30 days on the Holland America Noordam visiting Southern Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. From there we went on the Norwegian Jewel visiting Northern Australia, Southeast Asia, China and Japan for 40 additional days. Comparing the two ship experiences, we liked the Holland America cruise experience better but they both had pros and cons. In general, even though the ...

Great Itinerary, shame about the ship

This was to have been a cruise of a lifetime, 18 days from Sydney to Singapore but sadly Norwegian let us down. The ports of call were fantastic and we had such high expectations but we unexpectedly found that virtually all of the ports involved a tender and/or shuttle bus and these were unacceptably long, hot and disorganised. In order to ensure getting off the ship we had to get up at 6 am to ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and all the new ports of call. We booked the 40 day from Sydney Australia to Tokyo Japan. We were in a suite 10500 which was at the front of the ship and we loved the position and balcony. Our butler and cabin steward were friendly and helpful. Thank goodness we had the suite I am not sure I could have survived 40 days in any other type of cabin. We ...

Amazing itinerary, let down by poor organisation.

The ports of call sounded amazing but most had to be reached by tender. Queues for tender tickets were long, some days we didn't get off the ship till lunchtime because of this, tenders were hot, cramped, smelly and dangerous at times. On Komodo island following long queues in red hot sun we had to crawl into the tender on hands and knees! There was a lack of singers and staff didn't remove towels ...

We were on a South America Cruise with NCl Sun. The attitude of the staff was more to be desired. Food just ok. We tried this NCL Jewel for Cruise from Sydney to Hong Kong. Entertainment was average to below expectation. Same artists rotating to take their turns. Little changed. On Sea day, the ship entertainment is dead. Nothing happening and the daily programme is the same like the previous ...

Very nice ship, fitted out well, plenty of eateries and bars, but the allowable dress code, was appalling. I understand people like to relax and unwind, but there is a time and place, where you need to make an effort and night time dining, is that time. Far too many people, rocking up in board shorts, singlets and thongs and expecting to be allowed entry to the Dining Rooms. We are not snobs by ...

As the title suggests we were not overly impressed by the ship as far as first impressions goes it was a fail for Norwegian. The ship looked very nice at the docks we viewed it the night before boarding but alas that was to our only good impression. The boarding experience was abysmal we lined up for and hour and a half in hot conditions imaging that it must be slow as they were checking people ...
