NCL cruise around the baltic. This was our first cruise. Boarding ran like clockwork the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Eating was fantastic, we chose to use the buffet cafe a lot, This alowed us to try new food, everything was spotless. This cruise was make or break, if it was grotty it would have put us off cruising for life. However, we are planning a further cruise to Alaska 2011, and because of the excellent service we are looking at NCL again.

I woudl encourage anyone to go to Alaska as it is a wonderful experience. If you like wildlife you shodl see whales,seals and sea otters hoepfully & lots of bald eagles. Woudl recommend a rail trip after/before cruise up to Denali & Fairbanks too. We did it on the Diamond Princess & can only say their organisaton was faultless & becuase they own the train carriages & the lodges, it made for a seemlessly effortless trip. The 9.5 train journey went quickly with lvoely views, little walks to the riding platforms etc. Seats were spacious & comfortable & there was some acceptable food to buy, but not exactly gourmet. This was in contrast to the ship where the food had been superb. Went for "Anytime Dining" so could please ourselves whne & where we ate. To sum up, I wold say if yo were happy with NCL for the cruise go for it, but Princess was also good. However if yo want to do a tour as well, Princess was unbeatable as they owned the lodges & trains.

We too were on the Jewel in June 2009. No fault of the cruise but it was very cold but the ship was fantastic and the entertainment was great. The buffet cafe was over crowded because of the weather conditions But food was great. Will be going on another NCL at the end of 2010
