Norwegian Jewel Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Cruising is a specific kind of vacation which allows you to visit a variety of places without the added burden of changing hotels. NCL Jewel was comfortable, friendly, and served its purpose of safely bringing us to a variety of places in the Mexican Riviera. I would recommend this itinerary.

Great cruise except for disembarking. That was a disaster.

The most disappointing thing about this cruise was did not tell us that we had to contact Norwegian Cruise line before 100 days prior to receive the promised buy one, get on free air transportation to & from Panama & San Diego. Nor were were we able to purchase ride from the airport to the port and the port to the airport in San Diego.

The cruise was excellent, only complaint we have is the location of our so called ocean view cabin !

Read the above items but disappointed enough that I will not be cruising with NCL in the future

Very good overall experience. Needed a little more time in Bonaire. Advertise the Donkey Sanctuary for a tour.

The ship and cruise itself was very good. We did enjoy it. But the disembarking situation certainly took away from that all and left a poor image to remember.

To book a disembarkation transfer from the port to the airport is a challenge. It could not be done online and must call to make a reservation. After phone booking then I could not pay online. End up we hired a taxi to get to the airport, which was cheaper, private and faster. No body informed us that we could book flights with the Norwegian. The United Cruise did not offer us this service either.

Cruise was amazing. Ports were stunning except Santa Marta. Vendors were very pushy and annoying. Time at the various ports was adequate. We disembarked at Colon, Panama and it is not a safe port. Third world type country. Very dirty. NCL should not include this part in any way.

We enjoyed our cruise. Ship was clean and food was good

Loved the cruise and the itinerary everyone was very accommodating, staff was excellent!

NCL could've been better organized, taken better care of Spanish speaking travelers. Cartagena is worth visiting but expect it will take forever to get out of port. Avoid NCL's shore excursions and book your own- English and Spanish are widely spoken in all these ports and you won't have a problem.

Lovely ship, stable sail, awesome crew and fantastic trip all around.

Positive overall notwithstandingthe disappointments. NCL quick to refund the canceled port bookings.

Probably never take another Norwegian cruise, enough said..

It was really enjoyable! We liked having so many sea days to relax and enjoy the ship. It was nice not to have a schedule every day.

Loved the cruise but 12 days was too long for us. The Jewel was very nice.

Great way to travel, only have to unpack once! The servers were great. My favorite is the nightly shows with professional singers and dancers,?they are amazing. Especially the airialist and gymnast and dancers! Wow what a performance!

ship really old and outdated: nothing to do during 30 hours of sailing; food was terrible and always the same at buffet or restaurants with a limited drink selection; nothing special about special dining; kid's club with very limited hours is a deal breaker

The ship and itinerary were nice. Some of the shore excursions did not match the descriptions and did tend to run late. The 2 times we have been on this boat it seemed to have more adult couples and few young children.
