We just returned from an Alaskan cruise on the Jewel. I would agree with most all of your reviews. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly and our room steward was very attentive when needed. We did not have the room cleaned but we did request some towels. The delivery of chocolate chip cookies was an extremely pleasant surprise one evening, since there were no cookies ever in the Garden Cafe (which would be great if they did have them). We ate our specialty meals at Cagney’s and Tepanyaki. Cagney’s was outstanding! Our meals were delicious and cooked to perfection. I agree with your review of the outstanding service there. Our Tepanyaki experience was fun! We both didn’t care for the first course of fried rice. We both found it dry and somewhat tasteless. I had heard several other cruise reviewers rave about this rice, so we were both very disappointed. The steak and shrimp and scallops we ordered, though, were excellent and cooked to perfection! Our chef was lots of fun, too. Our cruise director didn’t communicate too much with the cruisers but did make his presence felt at the shows. I thought some of the entertainment was excellent, like the Cirque show and the comedian, Vince Acevedo. Some of it was just okay. We went to every show they offered. On the whole, we really enjoyed our first sailing with Norwegian.
As part of my Japan cruise, I wasn't sure how I felt about a visit to South Korea. Busan turned out to be an unexpected gem! Have you been, or plan to?
I am very disappointed in the Studio Lounge. My last cruise was on the Encore. The Studio Lounge had fresh fruit, juice, and fruit infused water in addition to coffee and cookies. Step up the game Epic.
Booked on the Jewel for Alaska from Vancouver in September, and again in February in the Caribbean. We sailed on the Jewel back in 2017, we enjoy the smaller ships like this, much more personal. Thanks for your review!
I'm curious if you can still store your luggage underneath the bed with a spare bed stored there. Will the steward remove if they're are only 2 people in room?
There was plenty of room under the left side for 2 pieces of luggage. As for if the room attendant would remove the spare bed, that's something I had no need to ask about. Thanks for watching! 🙂
very informative tour. you seemed disappointed with dinner but that orange looking desert seemed to make up for it. I have yet to be on a cruise. If I go on a cruise, I want quiet and would only engage with the natural beauty around me. So I guess my first place to head would be the best viewing chair on deck.👍👍👍
I'd certainly had better meals and the best is yet to come. Just the sound of the ocean is one of the most epic things I've ever heard. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching! 🙂
If you are meaning the tour, you would need to reach out to Ciro on Facebook Messenger. The contact details are in the description. Thanks for watching! 🙂
The staterooms include conditioning shampoo and body wash. I don't use them personally, but I am told you should bring your own conditioner if you normally use it. I was given the option to bid for a paid upgrade, but didn't take advantage. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Doing a back 2 back on the Norwegian Jewel this Monday as I’m Alaskan so I can visit my friends throughout the state and have lunch with one of them at each port! Then shop all day in Canada while my bags are relocated to my new cabin! Then, I take my beautiful Alaskan water “Uber” right back home with new friends and a fabulous crew! Life’s good and …. Welcome Chechakos! 😊
