Cruisechic470 Posted July 18, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We are considering a 5 night cruise on the Jewel. It will be the 18th to the 23rd. What do you think? Thanks in Advance. P.S- This will be my first cruise on NCL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tideone Posted July 18, 2007 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2007 We did a seven day Thanksgiving cruise on the Jewel last year and we loved every minute of it. The Jewel is a beautiful ship and there is nothing else like freestyle cruising. My only problem with this being a five day cruise. We did a five day cruise several years ago and said we would never do another one. Just not enough time to really get into things before you are arriving back home again. But if five days is all you can get - it is five days better than being at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisechic470 Posted July 18, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Tideone - I totally agree - 5 days is too short (but then again so is seven...:rolleyes: ). However, a 5 day cruise is all I could find. Thanksfor your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_FadeAway Posted July 19, 2007 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2007 We're doing the 9-nt cruise right after that one. It's nice because we will fly to Miami on Thanksgiving and board the cruise the next day. It comes back the following weekend, so we get a 9-nt cruise with only having to take 5 days off work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted July 19, 2007 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'm totally biased since we will be on that cruise. Sounds like fun to me:D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted July 19, 2007 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The Jewel is one of my two favorite ships, but my advise, a 5 day cruise will not give you the same service, food or anything else as a 7 day or longer. Don't ask me why, it just seems that way. We have done serveral 4 and 5 day cruises, pretty much have decided we won't do one again. That being said, it sounds like you are pretty set on this, so go and enjoy. Just please remember there is a difference. Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisechic470 Posted July 19, 2007 Author #7 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks everyone! Nita - We've been on both 7 days and 5 days and I totally agree- They aren't the same! But, we just got back from a 7 day and can't afford another one so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
