Loved Jewl May 19-May31 Med Cruise

[Gabgab]

Just came back from the Jewl with the Greek Islands, Egypt, and Turkey and loved it. I was with my mom we had a balst. NCL foods was great, service was very friendly. Roll call mebers were great, too. Very few complaints overall with the trip. I will be writing a more detail review soon but just wanted to say that this trip was a blast. Now real life begins, I have a a job interview on monday. Anyway question I will try to answer too :)

We sailed the Jewel in 2005 and loved her also.

 

What a great itinerary you had.

 

How cool that you were able to cruise with your mom....wish I had done that.

 

Look forward to your review.

 

Good luck with the interview;)

Glad you had a good time - I was on the trip before you and posted my review on this board. Will be very interested in reading your impressions and opinions!

I was on this cruise, too. I've posted this question under it's own thread on this forum -- but what happend to the Captain of the Jewel (Captain Fafalios)?

 

He (Fafalios) was replaced 2 days before the end of the cruise and removed from the personnel photo board of the ship's officers? Anyone have any information?

Delighted to hear you had a great cruise. I was particularly drawn to fact that you traveled with your mother. My daughter and I (the mom) are set to sail June 12 from Istanbul. I'm so excited right now- I just can't wait.

 

I have a few odd questions regarding the rooms:

Will an iron and ironing board be available to us?

Did you have a need to avail yourself of their laundry services? If so what are the rates?

Is there a do-it-yourself laundry?

There is a do it yourself laundry on several decks - on deck 9 it had several washers and dryers and 2 ironing boards with irons. The detergent cost $1 (had to use 4 quarters) but washers, dryers and irons were free.
