on
December 23, 2024

I booked Summit Scenic Drive for free on Norwegian with their $50 discount. The meeting point was easy to find with the signage and the fact that I had done the Street Car excursion earlier in the day. Please note you are supposed to bring your passport for this…

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…

In 2022 I wanted to book the combo tour that did whale watching and bear watching. It sold out before I could book it so I just did Whale Watching.

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…

Jewel: Embarkation

on
November 22, 2024

If you are staying in Seward the night before the cruise I recommend taking the free shuttle to the port. The walk to the port is a bit longer than it looks.

I did a tour with Major Marine today and they transferred my bag to the ship so I…
