1-10 of 180 Vancouver Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews
My wife and I are experienced cruisers. First cruise with NCL on a 14 day Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska return. The entertainment was excellent. The food quality in the Garden Buffet was very good. We went to the dining room on three occasions and found the food was below standard from what other cruise lines offer. The onion soup being served was poor. The salad was over dressed with salad ...
I planned on booking this cruise for June 2020, but we all know what happened. While 2022 allowed cruising to Alaska from Vancouver, we opted to wait it out for another year to see how they operate with covid being endemic. Now this year, all restrictions are gone, allowing us to freely move around like the pre-pandemic days.
I booked everything: flights, hotels, rental cars, post-cruise ...
Never cruised before so specifically chose to do north bound Alaska as always wanted to do this cruise and just in case cruising wasn't for us we could at least say we have done it. But we had nothing to worried about as we loved every moment of the entire cruise. The ship felt so fresh and luxurious. The oceanview room was larger than we expected and felt like a high level compact hotel room. ...
Although, we have cruised many times with NCL, this is our first time on this ship, the first time in Alaska and the first time in an aft cabin and we have loved all of it.
NCL have excelled themselves with this itinerary and with this ship, we can't fault a single thing! Alaska is amazing, beautiful and the weather was very kind to us with sunshine every day, we will definitely be back! We ...
Background: My husband and I chose this cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as we believed Alaska would be an absolutely beautiful way to celebrate. We were absolutely correct! For this cruise, we began in Vancouver, BC, and travelled North to Seward/Anchorage, AK aboard the Norwegian Jewel.
Travel to Port of Embarkation: For our flights into Vancouver, and from Anchorage, we made us ...
The shine on the Jewel has worn off.
The first and primary problem was the plumbing. On numerous days we saw staff working on toilet issues with their equipment and air fresheners. For two days our toilet failed to flush for hours at a time. We learned about this after returning to our room. No one from the staff cared to call us to notify there was a problem.
Another problem was the lack ...
We lucked out with this cruise. Being late in the season, there was only half the capacity of guests. Everyone on board enjoyed VIP service from the friendly, attentive crew. We chose the trip for the itinerary: starting in Vancouver, to Alaska, then south to San Francisco and LA - a nice variety of ports and scenery. It was our first time to Alaska and we are already planning another so we can ...
The alsakan cruise on the Norwegian Jewel was the worst vacation of my life. My parents were not allowed on the ship due to my father failing a Covid test presumably for a cruise he had been on the week before. We were supposed to share a suite with them along our connected club room. We went down to try to resolve this right away by moving my brothers into it (willing to pay for it and all) and ...
We chose this ship for several reasons:
1. We had cruised with NCL and on this ship before and liked it.
2. We had Cruise Next credits to use.
And 3. We decided that we would prefer the still elegant, but more relaxed atmosphere with NCL, since this was a 3 generation family cruise.
The Jewel and the staff exceeded our expectations. There was plenty to enjoy for all three generations. ...
We arrived home from our June 13-20 Cruise to Alaska on NCL Jewel yesterday. It's hot in Texas, so I thought it might cool me off to remember our cruise. Embarkation went pretty smoothly. Our time was 10:30, and after showing our NEG results, we were in line to get checked in. I will say, I did all of the Online Checking, but they did it all over again at check-in. Working harder, not smarter! We ...
