Cruise from New Orleans is so easy!

Left port and our guys disappeared until dinner time. The meal that night was the best!

And the guys loved the sports deck. Hubby and I enjoyed the entertainment and our stateroom was very nice and roomy for the 4 of us. Loved having the balcony as well.

Great service, the dinners were a little repetitive though which was the only minus of the food for this cruise. The dining rooms seemed to serve the same thing with only one change per night.We got a little tired of that. 

The ports of call wonderful!!!  Enjoyed each one!

The staff is very kind and helpful, the cruise ship was well maintained.

Loved the secret window to the bridge..little known hidaway.

We enjoyed this cruise to the Western Caribbean as we had not been to these places today. The ports of call were good and varried. We enjoyed some of the excursions via NCL and then found a few others of our own.  The food was good, and then repetitive. I would like to see more changes in the menu in the dining rooms from night to night. We have cruised with NCL before and enjoyed the food much better with variety than we did this trip. The ship is about to go to dry dock we understand for upgrades. Also, the sports deck was great but limited for the use which my guys were not happy about. The entertainment each night was good as it was varried, but since NCL advertises other entertainment, I was a little disapppinted in what the Jewel had to offer. We did like the magician and the comedian, especially the upclose and personal things they did on the last day at sea. This was good for the youth on board. 

Our cabin was wonderful, the steward was fantastic and we really were happy with him.  

Would recommend this cruise to families of all ages.

How to describe this cruise..first of all, the ship is so intimate and calming..there were only about 300 people on this cruise. No kids, and we love kids! NO bright lights etc, it was so relaxing to have the sails brought out and the music so exciting and the captain so accessible! The food wonderful, the staff excellent and so friendly and fun to chat with! Also the state room was nice and well maintained! The ports of call were the very best!

If you love to cruise, try this cruiseline out...Sailing yachts!  We were so impressed our friends went the next year!

We had not taken our kids (elementary age) on a cruise before til this one and it as a good first cruise for them.

Great destinations and the kids club was terrific. My husband and I had plenty of time to hang out just us two and the food was great.

My guys loved being able to come and go as they pleased on this cruise! They were well cared for and loved the kids

activities!

The food...well we cruise and we were expecting big and grand...the dining rooms were the best part of the meal.

The food...was not up to what we had thought it might be, the service was lacking for Disney.. we have done both parks and all parks Disney has in the US so we understand Disney, this was a disappointment.
