NCL Cruises, Norwegian Jewel

The crew on the ncl jewel were the most happy and helpful my wife and I

have encounted in all of our cruises,we cannot wait to find another cruise

with this company,our only complaint was the $12 dollars a day tips,far to stiff,we on of course had this modified down,apart from this is was a fab

cruise to the baltic from dover.

NCL Cruise was spoilt to a certain extent by the very high prices of drinks and the compusory 15% service on top of these high prices.There was also a feeling that the drinks waiters have been trained in high pressure sales tecniques.

We felt that there was a lack of entertainment during the daytime days at sea especially as outside activities were curtailed due to the weather.

On the plus side unfortunatly I needed medical treatment.The treatment that I recieved was absolutely First Class.

I have just returned from a Baltic cruise on the Norwegian Jewel (May 10th 2009) .It is the first time I've sailed with this line & I got a very good last minute deal on the price. That is the reason I took the cruise. I saw some very spectacular places for a fraction of the price of other cruise lines.

Overall, I think that Norwegian Jewel was a pretty good cruise. I recommend group meetings where you can get to know people - not just the activities; groups where you talk to each other to get to know each other. I will always look forward to another cruise.
