Jewel Review March 10, 2013

[Topaz_M]

Thank you for your informative review April :D

 

Going on my first NCL cruise on the Jewel in a few weeks time and this has helped put a few things in perspective.

 

Good to hear I will get used to the colour scheme in a few days ;)

Thanks for e great review. We live on March 31st. Yeah! I read thru your posted dailies but didn't see the mystery dinner listed. Was it offered on your cruise?

[nyjjim]

I am fairly certain they are for both. Tsars & Azuras had slightly different static menus, but the daily menus were the same. We only dined in Tsars, but we did check out the Azura menu twice & (Kung Pao Day & Louisiana Filet & Shrimp day) and menus were the same at both.

 

Thanks for the info!

Awesome review! We are sailing on the Jewel in November out of New Orleans. Great to actually see the ship even though the itinerary is different.:) Thanks for the wonderful review

[canehdn]

for sharing your adventure. Loved reading your review and your pictures were gorgeous. Your son looked like he was having an awesome time. I noticed your son's jacket logo said Welland Football. We currently live in the Kansas City area but are from Grimsby, Ontario. Still go back to visit family several times a year.

 

Thanks again for your wonderful review.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences onboard! We are sailing on the Jewel in October out of New Orleans. This will be our 11th cruise, but our first on NCL so I was glad to read all the details and see the photos. I appreciate you taking the time to post all of this!

Thanks for your interesting photo review...the info about the cabanas...and the Freestyle Daily. :):):):)

Thanks so much! We will be on the Jewel in 3 weeks for our fist cruise. I will need to take a better look at the dailies when I am on my computer.

Thanks for your review! It seems detailed pictorial reviews are not nearly as common on the NCL board as they are on the Carnival and Royal boards.

 

We are taking our first NCL cruise this winter on the Jewel out of New Orleans. I am excited about trying a new cruiseline. In reading your review and looking at the dallies, it looks like the entertainment on the Jewel may be a big plus for us!

[aprylstar]

Thanks! That's exactly why I did this one!!! You will have so much fun! We are planning a cruise out of New Orleans for Feb 2015 (Superbowl Sunday!). Trying to decide between RC & Carnival. I will have my 13 year old son with me, so although I want to try RC, I think the Dream would be a better ship for him..... Plus the Dream is going to 3 new ports (for me) the week we are looking at. I'll have to pull up your Dream review & check it out. Cheers & happy planning!

Really enjoyed your review. So much good information. We are 1st time NCL cruisers going out of NOLA in November and all your info has been so helpful. Loved the menus and the daily news letters. Your pics were great too. Thanks for posting!

[MariTenor1]

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are taking our first NCL cruise on Jewel in March, 2014 with our son who is the same age. We're really looking forward to it now!

[mitsugirly]

Thanks for the great review. I was sent here by another cc poster. We will be on the Jewel in December and can't wait. Your son cracks me up with his pose's in the pictures. You can tell he's having a great time!

[mom_n_mi]

Thanks for posting the program for the Dolphins. My son will be 11 when we travel.

[aprylstar]

Thanks everyone! Yes, my son is pretty hilarious most if the time. I think my fave pic is when he is posing like a mannequin in front if Macys!, lol happy cruise planning everyone!

Thanks for all the great info! :)

 

Norwegian talks about offering "first-run" movies onboard, but I only saw on movie listed in the 7 days on the Daily Guides. Did they show movies anywhere in the bars, stardust, etc that you were aware of?

[Redheel Girl]

I love your Pictures. I was on the Jewel two cruises ago and will be on it again in October out of Houston. Your Pictures bring back memories and reading the Freestyle dallies is awesome. Great Job!

[aprylstar]

Thanks! I don't remember them showing them anywhere but my son did watch a few in the room when he had down time. I remember they played Wreck it Ralph which was fairly new at the time. We definitely missed movies under the stars and can't wait for our cruise the Grandeur next week! That being said we were never bored on the Jewel. We loved it as you can tell from the review! LOL

Awesome ! I'm glad hear had a great time! I would love to go on the breakaway one day! We are leaving on the Grandeur next week. Ayden needed surgery this fall so he didn't want to miss anymore hockey otherwise we would have been looking to sail during March break again. 2015 we booked a super bowl cruise with my parents. Maybe we'll see you March break 2016 if you are cruising!
