Norwegian Jewel Review

Additional details
We booked a suite and an adjoining room, as we had six people. So four of us slept in the suite and two in the adjoining room. The agent who recommended this didn't fully explain all the benefits of a suite. If you can do it, do it. The room was so much better than two regular rooms. And the benefits were outstanding -- private breakfast and lunch area, a butler and concierge, early boarding etc. It was so nice to have a meeting area where everyone could meet, and our butler always had appetizers in our room before dinner so our entire party could enjoy a nice cocktail hour before dinner.
Both sets of grandparents were also on the cruise, so overall there were 10 of us. The ship offered something for everyone -- the teenagers, the twenty-somethings, the grandparents, and my wife and I. We were very impressed with the specialty dinning restaurants and the nightlife on the ship. What impressed me most is that everyone had a great time -- no matter the age.
The one downside is that the shore excursions were only ok. We had a problem with one, and NCL refunded us 20%. But it was not at all what was advertised.
Cabin Review
Family Penthouse with Balcony
Awesome room! Very spacious. The master bedroom and bathroom was also very nice. We loved this room, especially as a meeting room for our party.
Port Reviews
Cabo San Lucas
We loved the Mexican Adventure.
Cabo San Lucas
Diving company was great. The diving was jus tok.
Puerto Vallarta
The tour company was awesome. My son and I had so much fun. They let you really open up the ATVs. And the scenery was great. The guides were a lot of fun.
Puerto Vallarta
Everything that was promised. My wife and daughter loved it. But -- for seniors, there is a little difficult walking to get to the beach.
Mazatlan
Outright fraud. Not a nice resort, did not go directly to the hotel as was advertised, etc. Was the most disappointing thing about the cruise.
Los Angeles
We got to wait in the VIP area which was nice.
