This was my second NYE cruise upon the Jewel, my first being 5 years prior, and boy, was this one a let down. Cheap and nasty holiday and a far cry from how they used to be.

Food was bland, dry, over-cooked and recycled. If you wanted quality, you were forced to pay for one of their restaurants.

Entertainment was boring and often had me looking for something to do for 3-4 hours at a time. There was an excessive amount of trivia which is cheap to run. DJ Josh had terrible song choices and it only improved when Miguel took over.

Port Reviews

Wellington

We arrived on a public holiday 7am-2pm but everything was either closed or didn’t open until 10am. Very rushed.

Hobart

We arrived late 2-10pm and most stores closed 4-5pm which gave us nothing to do.
