Norwegian Jewel Aft-Facing Balcony BV

The cabin has been refurbished since our last time on the Jewel. It is much brighter than before and still very comfortable for us. We love the Aft-facing balcony right in the middle of the back of the ship. We can see everything especially when leaving or entering a port. Worth the extra spend for those truly memorable or long itineraries with lots of ports.

Excellent cabin attendant

Loud, Loud, Loud! Not the ship's fault. The props churning the water made it impossible to talk below a shout on the balcony. It was an experiment for me & lesson learned.

Met our every needs.........and the perfect choice

First, the cabin was great -- we had a bad experience there that was frightening and I don't know if anyone ever looked into the problem. The night that we left Victoria, my husband, our grandson, and I were on the balcony and shut the sliding glass door to the inside, as usual. This time the door locked. We were caught outside with no way back in and it was dark. We called and yelled, while knocking on the particians between the individual decks. No one heard us. The ship was moving fast and the engine muffled all of our noise. Finally, my 65-year old husband stood on our deck recliner, balanced off of our balcony and swung his leg over to land on a deck table on the balcony next to us. He knocked on our neighbor's door in order to walk through to get back to my grandson and I, waiting on our balcony. We notified our room steward who was in the hallway and he replied that the balcony door can lock if shut hard. We then went to Guest Services to report the problem with the door, and were told it would be checked. We really don't want this to happen to anyone else and would like to hear if this issue has been looked into. Thank you.
