Review summary

Loved the size of the Jewel, but it did limit the restaurant and entertainment options found on larger, newer ships. But, cruise was more about the beauty of Alaska than about the ship itself. Great itinerary and loved the ports of call. Be sure to take advantage of all the locally-run excursions (not the NCL tours with the throngs of fellow passengers!). While we were a little disappointed by the food and entertainment, it will go down as one of our favorite vacations!

Ship tip

Look out for Leo...the best entertainment on the ship. And, avoid Garden Cafe...so many better options!

We did that cruise last year. I would do it again. Wonderful time with beautiful scenery. Did have balcony so never missed the beautiful landscapes and glaciers.
