This was our first cruise and our first time visiting Alaska. Norwegian Cruise Lines and specifically the Norwegian Jewel did a fantastic job from check-in to our return to Seattle. The crew from our room steward to the Captain were welcoming, friendly and bent over backwards to make our vacation the most memorable one ever. The food was out of this world in all of the complimentary restaurants though we didn't eat at the Buffett much. The main dining rooms changed their menu daily and O'sheehans was great. The bed in our cabin was the comfiest bed I have ever slept on and the pillows were amazing, in fact I have tracked down the type used and ordered some for home. The shore time and excursions were great as was the time at sea spent on the ship. I HIGHLY recommend Norwegian for your next cruise adventure and we are already planning our next cruise. NORWEGIAN JEWEL ROCKS!!!!!
