Description

As the first ship in the Jewel class, Norwegian Jewel launched a step forward in 2005 in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, expanding the tonnage and service offerings on board. More restaurants, more lounges, more activities for passengers. On a substantial refit, from 2014, a pub open 24 hours a day was added, amongst other features. Norwegian Jewel does not have the breadth of attractions of the latest generation ships in the fleet, but it does offer the modernity and quality of Norwegian's services in an environment more suitable for moving around.

Hawaii und die pazifischen Inseln: ein Traum

I liked

Reiseroute, Freestyle

I didn't like

Comment

Ich denke, Norwegian Cruise Line bietet wirklich ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Unsere Reiseroute zwischen Hawaii und Polynesien war wunderbar. Jugendlich, ungezwungen, sehr angenehme Atmosphäre an Bord. Ich liebte dieses Schiff und diesen Kreuzfahrtstil auch.

Comment

We had a very enjoyable cruise onboard the Jewel. Not a modern ship perhaps but with a great staff and good restaurants. I'd like to come back soon onboard this mid-sized Ncl unit.
