Having traveled on Celebrity Cruises for our first cruise last September, we thought we'd try Norwegian. Our expectations were only partially met and the shore excursion to Puerta Vallarta was a scam. We had a balcony and while there was ...

This is our third time with NCL on the Mexican Riviera. Our second cruise on the Jewel.
The Jewel was refurbished since the last time we were on it although I don't remember any significant differences from our 2014 cruise. The ...

We booked this cruise way in advance to celebrate our granddaughters (GD) 11th birthday.
We flew to LAX on the morning of embarkation as we are only a two hour flight away. From LAX we boarded the NCL transfer bus and within 30 ...

This was our 6th cruise with Norwegian. The Jewel is our favorite ship. Everything accessible and has an open lay-out. There are 2 pools to accommodate everyone. But no matter which ship or which destination, the staff and crew have ...

I had purchased two Cruise Rewards on a prior Norwegian cruise and I had to use them before they expired. Well I was amazed that this cruise line had really changed a lot. I had a few issues on my prior cruise about 4 years ago. ...

We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary and wanted to try NCL, having cruised with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and loved it, we thought we should try a different cruise line to compare. Overall we felt that this cruise was ...

I wasn't sure what to expect, but the actual experience was better than I could have imagined.
The ship, The Norwegen Jewel, is a beautiful vessel. It has 13 levels but passengers only have access to the fourth, thru the thirteenth ...

Norwegian offers minimal services that are inclusive in the price you pay for the cruise. Most everything else is a shakedown for money. The cruise ship is boring unless you are drunk or don't realize that your keycard is linked to your ...

We flew into LAX from Edinburgh the day before the cruise. We stayed at the Crown Plaza in San Pedro the night before the cruise. The hotel was fine for a night but would not want to base myself there if spending time in LA. We had ...

We were in Cabin 11531 Class MB Mini Suite right below the pool area. Worst location ever, constant running children and noise that we could barely tolerate. NCL even had the gall to tell we were upgraded to a mid-ship cabin; I would have ...

My wife and I have been on numerous cruises (4th with Norwegian) I must say that I was very disappointed in this one. Embarkation too a LONG time. There were very long lines and they didn't have enough people to check everyone in. We had a ...

This was our second tour of duty on the Jewel, first time was on an Alaskan cruise in July 2016. I like the Jewel as it's easy to navigate and doesn't have endless corridors like those mega ships.
Embarkation was pretty quick. Lots ...

Having sailed on 13 cruises on Carnival, Princess,Royal Caribbean,Celebrity and now our third on NCL; I can't tell you how disappointing this last cruise was.
For the first time we splurged and went way over budget to garner an aft ...

We chose this cruise for the ports and to try Norwegian, we will not be sailing with them again. We booked an ocean view room and, sure enough, got one with an obstructed view. It was the smallest stateroom we've ever had! No seating ...

We heard a lot of bad reviews, but we did not find any of these to be true. The staff was great. Our butler was Rodney. He was always snacks, if we wanted anything different he made sure to get it for us. Our steward was Jacob he was ...

We are Latitudes - Platinum and have cruised with NCL more than 20 times; on the Jewel at least 4 of them. The things that stood out for us were the obvious cutbacks; some good, some not-so-good. The 'house' wine served at the Latitudes ...
