Jewel: Juneau

on
December 16, 2024

It looks like we arrived here early. I was looking for a salmon bake to book today since my one for tomorrow was changed to a time I cannot do. But it looks like it’s too late to book excursions for today.
They refunded the full $80 for the salmon…

Jewel: Icy Strait Point

on
December 9, 2024

Good morning! Today we’re in Icy Strait Point where I will hopefully see some eagles, whales, and bears. I’m going to show you the free whale tour you can do without leaving the ship here. Then I’m going on a real bear tour.
When I woke up this morning I…

Jewel: Hubbard Glacier

on
November 29, 2024

This is my second consecutive year going to Hubbard Glacier on Norwegian Jewel. Last year I did the Hubbard Glacier Explorer. I believe you should always try to do a glacier tour your first time at a glacier. It worked out great for me because we had bad weather…

Jewel: Day 1

on
November 25, 2024

I just boarded Norwegian Jewel in Seward, Alaska. I boarded pretty late so my room was ready immediately. It’s just an interior room but let’s take a look around.

I love the open shelving. I use these for most of my clothes. On Princess the entire closet was open. That…

Carnival, Norwegian, Princess Comparison

on
April 19, 2024

Now that I have cruised on Carnival, Norwegian, and Princess, I can do a comparison of the three.
Before we get into it let me say I have a much deeper knowledge of Carnival having cruised on most of their ships and all of the ones built in the past…

Alaska Jewel: Debarkation

on
February 9, 2024

Good morning from Vancouver! Today is debarkation day. It was really hard to get into the Palace for breakfast. The line to get off of the ship goes right in front of it.

They started debarkation at 7:30 calling all guests with self-assist/easy walk-off. That’s me but I’m going to…

Alaska Jewel: Day 7

on
February 5, 2024

Good morning! Today is a sea day and the last day of the cruise. We had a time change this morning. I thought my phone changed on its own but it didn’t so when it was 7:30, it was really 8:30. When I realized that I jumped up and…

Alaska Jewel: Ketchikan

on
February 2, 2024

Good morning! We’re on our way to Ketchikan this morning. This is the last port day of the cruise. I’m going on a bear watching excursion today. That was something I wanted to do last year but missed out on. It was early in the season so there weren’t…

Alaska Jewel: Skagway

on
January 26, 2024

Good morning! I headed downstairs to get a coffee from Starbucks as we make our way to Skagway. Skagway was replaced with Icy Strait Point on my Alaska cruise last year so this is a first time port for me.

Here is today’s schedule of events.

Since I’m pressed for time…

Alaska Jewel: Juneau

on
January 15, 2024

Good morning! We just left Tracy Arm Fjord and are heading to Juneau. I got my coffee downstairs at Starbucks. There has really been no line for coffee this week.

Here is today’s schedule of events.

After coffee I grabbed a couple of screwdrivers from O’Sheehans to take to breakfast.

They have…
