Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews for Senior to Alaska from Vancouver

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 ...

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 ...

I chose the cruise because it departs from Vancouver from our home town, cost is extremely high for what's it's worth. Wifi is expensive and unreliable, dining room and buffet menu selection is poor and limited and almost all meat is overcooked, sitting area is also limited and spread out, only one section of buffet, if you can't find a table close by (which most likely is occupied), you have ...

Spent almost a year planning on taking off. Hadn't had any time off from work or responsibilities in years. We both work demanding jobs and have a small farm with many animals and rescue dogs. Upgraded cabin and perks, had Norwegian plan my entire trip including travel arrangements - paid DEARLY!! They got the cheapest, cut close arrangements possible. Missed connecting flight, wanted to send ...

Avoid cabin 8560, which is right above the Bliss nightclub. The music is so loud you could feel the bass throb through the cabin floor. If the ship is full, they cannot move you. The Bliss is a main entertainment venue and they will stop playing until midnight. The food choices except for the Garden Cafe and the poolside buffet cost more money. The food in Teppanyaki and Le Bistro is very ...

We took the Alaskan cruise out of Vancouver on the Jewel. Sales was great, but customer service after we paid for the trip was difficult to reach. Air arrangements were made by NCL, and we had to contact NCL to find arrangements as they did not contact us once arrangements had been made. HINT: Air arrangements are NOT on the website under the Air Arrangements link, but in the Print Documents ...

o Cruise looks out to dime and nickel. o The art auction was clearly rigged and ran practically as a con job to sell low quality art items. o Embarkation was super slow with grumpy people on counter o Beware of video arcade area with kids - they do not limit in any way what kid can spent o Most of the shows were tacky o TV channel choices were terrible o Long lines at few ...

Ok, so let's start with the beverage policy. ZERO soft drinks OR EVEN bottled water in your cabin unless you buy it from them. And, they serve Pepsi----ugh! Come on. My cabin, I like a bottled water on my nightstand. Give me a break, more ways to nickel and dime me. Cabin. OK, so I thought a previous poster was a "newbie" who didn't understand a small cabin bathroom. BUT--- no lie. On the ...

I will start with a summary: DON'T CRUISE WITH NORWEGIAN. This cruise fit our schedule and ports of interest, in addition to being affordable, so we booked it. It turns out that the reason it was affordable is because they skimped on food taste and variety. Even the specialty restaurants were deficient; we got mystery meat in the Italian and overcooked, tasteless meat in the Brazilian. The ...

I never complain about Norwegian until now... Change of itentitary no inside passage which is why I left from Vancouver. Then they tried to deny it. I have a daughter with oxygen and can't go on excursions...but no scenery for her for 3 days... Just ocean. If you want a hot meal... Forget it... Except for the specially resteraunts. Resteraunt manager asked me if I wanted to be put on the ...
