Norwegian Jewel Cruise Review to Mexico

Sail date: March 26, 2017
Ship: Norwegian Jewel
Cabin type: Oceanview
Cabin number: 5568
Traveled as: Family (young children)

Review summary
As a family...the kids loved the Splash Academy and the activities they were able to participate in. The Academy did well to get the kids out (pirate march and the circus).
We also enjoyed the excursions - however, the beach/water quality in Cabo was much better than Puerta and Mazatlan...and we could actually see fish etc when snorkeling.
The only idea I would add is to include the service fees into the cruise price and even offer kids splash academy discounts & photo package discounts during booking....so you know your spend when planning and not having a large additional bill after the cruise.
Finally, with young kids, they love and expect to use the pool. The ship goes so fast on way back that there is 1.5 days with no pool (and disappointed kids :-( )
