I also no longer drink alcohol.

I have had some of their non-alcoholic wine and it's awful.

I love the taste of beer and found Heineken 00 is the best.

It has great taste and ZERO alcohol and is available on Royal ships.

I'm glad to hear that there is a NA beer option. Can we get those with the "Refreshment Package"? Do they count as a mocktail?

Our cruise was down again. I spent 6 minutes on the phone and saved $58  

Every little bit helps!!

I just called and saved around $200.  Make sure you read the new invoice!  Our new invoice had it as non-refundable deposit, so I'm back on the phone to get that switched back. 

Great review so far. I'm looking forward to more.

My goodness we did. Couldn't help but notice. The first time I saw them I assumed they were staff members from a show. Then someone asked while at Hubbard and they just said they liked to dress that way.

 

Not for me to judge. If it makes them happier, whatever. Just never seen anything like it.

I agree. I thought it was creative and they obviously enjoyed it. We always got a kick out of it when our paths crossed.

Anyway, I am enjoying your review. This was also my first on NCL, after several on RCCL and Disney. I'm looking forward to more.

We were on the same cruise, just down the hall in 5070. I'm excited to hear more of your perspective.

Oh, and yeah, the Fire and Ice singer.... a couple times we thought it was someone doing karaoke and then came around the corner to Fizz lounge and saw her. By the way, did you see that couple in the period piece outfits every day?

Exciting! I'm looking forward to more. We leave next Monday, for the southbound itinerary on Jewel.

This year I'm sure the Bliss has something to do with it. You know new ship and everyone wants to be on it. If I had to make a guess about the age demographic's on my last Alaska cruise, I'd put it late 40's as the average. Yeah they seem dead, but I'm not as concerned about the roll call issues as I am on what the heck am I going to do in Seattle with a 6 hour layover on the way to Anchorage.

We have a five hour layover this weekend in Seattle; on the way to Anchorage to board the Jewel in Seward. Approximately midnight to 5:00am.. I've been doing some research on sleepinginairports.net I can't justify paying for a hotel for just a few hours. It'll just be part of the adventure for us.

Oh, and our roll call isn't super active either. But we are looking forward to the meet and greet.

I think you meant to post in the Royal Caribbean forum, this is Norwegian.

Have a wonderful cruise! I have friends who sailed on Freedom of the Seas and had a blast.

I'm excited to hear more! Thanks so much for posting the review. We are on the Jewel in July on a Southbound inside passage itinerary. I hope they get some of the staffing kinks worked out by then.

Thank you all so much for your helpful replies about this room type. I appreciate it.

I'm so sorry for breaking the rules by bumping! Yikes.

I read posts telling people to search the forum before starting a new thread, which I did. My bad for not looking to see how old this thread is and for not being up on all the forum rules.

Bumping... anyone? We are booked in 8592

thank you so much!

We are booked for Alaska next July, in cabin 8050 on the Norwegian Jewel. I've spent a couple of hours searching here, and I've read conflicting opinions about how obstructed the view is from this cabin. Many of the threads are several years old. Some say it's great-- no obstruction, and a few say there is a small boat in front of the window.

Has anyone recently sailed her? Anyone have pictures of the room?

Regardless, we can't wait!!! It'll be our first time on NCL and we are thrilled to be going to Alaska.

Subbing...

We love Disney, and the two Disney cruises we've taken. But, we also had a really great time Mariner of the Seas a few months ago. So much that we booked the Freedom for February 2014. I'm excited about that trip, especially since we are going with friends. However, I am even more thrilled about our next Disney cruise.

bottom line, I am incredibly thankful for having the opportunity to cruise at all!

Oh, Hi Scottishwee! I recognize you from that other message board....we are on the Disney WBTA with you next fall.
