The best deserts are located at the Aft of the ship. eg. chocolate cookies, cakes and pies long after the main rooms desserts are picked over.

A small an cozy ship. Very clean and well kept. Kudos to the staff. A nice fitness center, Very nice bars and lounge area. Love Bliss and the Spinaker Lounge

Take time to walk the ship, really enjoy the buffets. Get to the Pool buffets early-they fill up fast.

If you think these cruise ships don't read or act on your comments, I complained after our Breakaway trip and our dinner at Moderno that nothing was marked at the buffet in it. This cruise? EVERY SINGLE DISH at the buffet was marked. If you are a fan of eating all types of meat, this din is great!

Bring a watch, our cell phones didn't know the correct time about an hour after we left New York until we got back.

Restaurants are extremely overpriced even for New York standards. Spinnaker Lounger too small to hold trivia,dance and contest shows. Smoking anywhere on board should be forbidden. Loudspeakers in sunbathing aft deck should be OFF!

Make sure you try the fine dining sit down complimentary restaurants a few nights on the Norwegian Gem, but mostly you'll love the Garden Cafe buffet style because of it's huge variety presented every single meal!

been on the Jewel twice..sister ship Gem.. chairs are placed so close together there is no way to get around...on the Jewel they place small round tables between some chairs at least. columns make it impossible to get thru. dining room food blah. go to specialties before 6 & get free bottle wine

At Great Stirrup cay be sure to rent a "clamshell" which provides cover from the sun and much comfort.

If i'm going, it's to be first class. We took all our meals in the dining room and we like to be pampered. Buffets do not turn me on as we have plenty of them at our yearly visit to Las Vegas, NV.
