Review summary
Had a good, but unspectacular cruise experience to Alaska excluding catching Covid on the way home. Alaska was magnificent, the NCL Jewel was AVERAGE The Good Staff was friendly and helpful Ship was clean Cabins nicely appointed Entertainment Food Waiters The Not Good Excursions significantly overpriced thru ship (use Viator or Alaskan Excursions) Cabin service only 1x a day Staff significantly reduced and overworked (repeatedly had to go to bar for drinks as waiter bar service scarce to nonexistent No change in menu - same choices every day Ship layout like a mouse maze Last fall did NCL Spirit (Hawaii to Tahiti) that was Excellent. Although Spirt was NCL oldest ship it’s layout was superior to the Jade We will be looking at other cruise lines offering better food quality, 2x daily cabin service. Honestly we will not rule out NCL for future cruises (entertainment is good) but we will also be considering other cruise lines for our next cruiseEmbarkation
