Review summary

This is the second time my wife and I have sailed on the NCL Jewel and this was not quite as wonderful as the first. Some of the aspects of the ship did not seem to be running smoothly. It appeared some of the restaurants were not "opening when they should and the 'FREE' Style had been taken ou, as all the restaurnats other than the buffet required reservations? The shore excursion operators were terrific! However, the ship shore excursion management left a lot to be desired. Many travelers were lost and got little or not help from the staff. It appeared that most of them had no idea where they were going? The ship itself is beautiful and quite comfortable! Yes, I would travel on it again, however, if improvements are not made, it will probably be the last time!
