Nice common areas on deck - appreciated the stage area in a central spot that was consistent with music and entertainment throughout sea days and in the afternoons as cruisers were returning to the ship.

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 ...

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 entire cruise was wonderful, but the staff made it exceptional, especially Rumi, Charlin Laurente and Mike Xie, who went above and beyond.

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 ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary.We wanted to visit all of the Hawaiian Islands and this did the trick. An added benefit turned out to be the 5 days at sea! We never realized how relaxing, yet interesting the ship would be. We loved the on board lectures, the activities, and just the opportunity to take naps or find a place to read. The restaurants and the food were ...

I chose this cruise partly because it conveniently started in my home town, Vancouver, and ended up in my bud's town, LA. We try to take a trip every year someplace together, and I had never been on a cruise before. The price seemed reasonable, so we booked it. Ports visited: Vancouver, Victoria, Astoria, San Francisco, Monterey, LA. We were both very happy with this cruise experience. We ...

100% enjoyed this cruise, which was a repositioning cruise at the end of the Alaska season. I booked it as a whim, but it ended up being one of my favorite experiences to date. The Jewel is just the right size for me as a solo traveler: not so huge that you get lost for days. She looks beautiful after her recent drydock & everything was spic and span. Jewel also boasts one of the ...

Our first Norwegian cruise but it will not be the last. the refitted Jewel was a pleasure, the sky lounge, multiple bars and sitting areas allowed us to view Alaska as we sailed by and hang out as a multi-generational family. The entertainment was outstanding, especially Ana and Vlad and the Circus Bijou. The food was great, plenty f choice in the buffet, the Irish bar had a great selection as ...
