1-10 of 110 Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews for Senior from Seward
My sister and I were excited to experience Alaska, and we especially wanted to see whales and the beautiful scenery.
This was my first cruise as a Platinum Latitude member. Expedited embarkation was excellent. The behind the scenes tour was great. Loved having the additional specialty dining meals and the free bottle of wine. We took the transfer from the Anchorage airport to the Seward cruise ...
My wife and I just returned from four consecutive B2B cruises all aboard the Norwegian Jewel. Embarking September 25 from Seward Alaska and finally disembarking in Singapore on November the 11th.
1. Cruise 1 – 25th Sep Seward to 2nd Oct Vancouver 7 days
2. Cruise 2 – 3rd Oct Seattle to 19th Oct Tokyo 16 days
3. Cruise 3 – 19th Oct Tokyo to 30th Oct Taipei 11 days

When it came time to book our very first cruise, we researched everything we could...dining options, entertainment, onboard amenities, itineraries...and we decided that NCL offered what we wanted.
Freestyle dining? Yes please! Wide range of entertainment including Broadway shows? Heck yeah! Interesting itineraries? Yep, lots to choose from.
Sadly, much of what led us to NCL is no longer ...
An Alaska cruise has been on our bucket list for quite some time so when planning this, I saw that the Jewel was a potential itinerary. We sailed on the Jewel back in 2007 (Italy and France) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seeing that it was renovated recently, we thought we'd give it a try and we were glad that we did.
My wife and I sailed with our two daughters (in their 20's). We booked the ...
Chose the cruise for its Alaskan itinerary, and because we had enjoyed our Pride of America Hawaiian cruise several years ago. This ship is more luxurious, but we preferred the informality of the POA.
The first problem we encountered was upon entering our cabin with an "oceanview picture window". The window was filthy with rust and salt spray between the panes, so the "view" was very ...
The price for the Alaskan trip was amazing, so we booked it! The weather wasn't too bad and sailing was great, very smooth. What saw was amazing, I will cruise again to Alaska, looking at late July or early August for my next one. Also wanted to try a new cruise line. The Jewel is an amazing ship the entire staff was so great, very helpful, from the minute you arrive to board the ship, to ...
The food is what we previously enjoyed the most, this time it was what we enjoyed the least. The specialty restaurants Cagney’s and Le Bistro had only a few tasty dishes but overall they weren’t anything to write home about either. The coffee everywhere on the ship was like twice recycled dish water. Guessing this is a push to buy the premium drink package. Most of the staff on the ship were ...
First of all I have to say, that there is nothing wrong with the cruise itself. The ship is nice, the staff is nice, the food was very good and the landscape of Alaska is definitely worth the whole trip.
But in my opinion there is a big „BUT“ when it comes to Norwegian and I would rather not choose to sail with them in the future:
They sent us dozens of E-Mails in advance of the cruise about ...
After doing a short 5 day Alaska Trip about 5 years ago we really wanted to see more. This time we flew up to Anchorage and did the train to Seward. Probably the highlight for us was the Train thru Denali . We checked in for our 4 hour train trip and had our room keys in hand. Walking onto the ship was very calming. No Sail away party or cheezy pics that you had to take to get onboard.

We decided on this cruise because we had a cruise next credit that we needed to use and it had been many years since we had visited Alaska. We were excited about the cruise and also wanted to see Denali. We booked the Denali land tour as well as the 7 night cruise. Included in the cruise we a number of extras including an airfare special. We have cruised with NCL and Oceania numerous times. When ...
