General Comments
Any experience is what you make it, that said, I very much enjoyed the cruise with NCL. The sea days on the Norwegian Jewel were wonderful and I could always find something to do or not do, depending on my mood. My cabin was much more spacious than I anticipated. I went on my own to Madeira, Rome and Athens and took ships tours to Pompeii and Knossos. One tour was good and the other pretty bad. When I complained to the ship's shore excursion desk about the Knossos tour they knocked 20% off the charge and I was pleased with the quick and professional resolution. There seemed to be some difficulty keeping the temperatures regulated on the pools and hot tubs but I could always find a comfortable patch of water.
