Norwegian Cruise Line - Jewel Review Summary
The “gorgeous” Norwegian Cruise Line Jewel got good ratings from Viewpoints members. The Jewel has what is known as “freestyle cruising”, which was a hit with people who love to travel. Freestyle cruising essentially means you can do what you want, when you want. Reviewers, for the most part, felt that the “extremely proper” staff ran the Jewell efficiently. All tasks, from boarding to room cleaning were handled smoothly. That said, one reviewer reported staff seeming to be “too tired” and, in one case, “clients being screamed at by staff.” Hopefully that was just an isolated incident. ndecided? We have lots more cruise line reviews. Take a look!

This was my first cruise and I would definitely go on another one. The Norwegin Jewel had alot to offer from the shows to the casino. It was brightly decorated and very clean. Our Steward was there each and every day to make the bed and leave a cute towel animal on our bed.
My only complaint was that we couldn't seem to get our steward to understand we wanted diet (sugar free) soda kept in the room fridge. He would bring low cal soda, but it contained sugar and my husband is diabetic and can not have sugar. The trip was a little rough as the sea wasn't very calm so my husband...

A great experience for a cruise! The ship looked like new, all decorations were very nice. The food is good and you can show up at some restaurants without reservations. Good shows almost everynight.
The places visited are wonderful! Europe is full of things to see and do. This is a great way to travel around in a very comfortable way.

We cruised on the Jewel for 5 days in February, 2008.
I love cruising, and I love the Norwegian concept of not having a fixed, set time for dinner.
Overall, we enjoyed the cruise, Cozumel (shore excursion guide was superb), and grand Cayman. I went on another Norwegian cruise a year later.
On this particular cruise, however, I felt that the staff was only interested in selling and getting as much money from you as possible. The cruise fare was low, and I understand the need for the cruise line to make money. But it didn't have to be so blatant!
For example, we were embarking on the ship,...

We just got back from a 7-day cruise: Roatan, Belize, Cozumel, Great Stirrup Caye. The ship was unbelievable! We had nothing to compare it to, as it was our first cruise, but I can't imagine much better. the food was spectacular, service was awesome, the cirque show was magnificent, and our room was much more spacious than most people said I could expect it to be. Our favorite restaurants were Il Adagio and The Teppanyaki joint. We didn't try the french place. We loved the freestyle concept.
Some of the shows were not as cool as others, but that's to be expected, I think.
We did the 7 day mediterranian cruise and man was it awesome. The ship was beautiful. It was our first cruise. We had a balcony room and everything was an experience. The freestyle cruising was perfect. We could do whatever we wanted whenever we wanted. We checked in at Barcelona, Spain. It was so quick and easy. We are looking forward to our next cruises to Mexico and Hawaii. It will for sure be with NCL.
DO NOT GO ON THIS SHIP. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS ON THIS SHIP AND SLIPPED BY THE POOL. THEIR STAFF REFUSED TO OPEN THE MEDICAL CENTER FOR HER. WHEN THEY WERE FINALLY FORCED TO THEY TOLD HER SHE SPRAINED HER ARM (WHEN SHE CLEARLY TOLD THEM IT WAS HER NECK AND NOT HER ARM THAT HURT) AND WOULD NOT TREAT HER ANY FURTHER, THEY LEFT HER FOR OVER 24 HOURS WITH A FRACTURED SPINAL CORD WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY OPERATED ON HER NECK WAS IN HER BACK AND SHE IS NOW ON LIFE SUPPORT AND MAY NOT MAKE IT.
WHEN THE BOAT DOCKED THEY WOULDNT EVEN LET HER OFF THE BOAT THEY TOLD US SHE WAS NOT A PRIORITY. DO NOT TAKE THIS...
