Find a Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

with a cruise advisor

The 2,376-passenger Norwegian Jewel (the namesake of the line's Jewel-class ships) has been cruising since 2005 and and underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2022. It reemerged boasting more than 25 refreshed venues. With its low 1-to-2 crew-to-guest ratio, the ship makes tailored experiences a priority.

With 14 eateries and 12 bars and lounges, every guest has plenty of elbow room. Passenger favorites include the specialty Brazilian steakhouse.

While Jewel appeals to a variety of traveler types, it's especially well-suited for families thanks to its age-appropriate kids clubs, a video arcade and waterslides. But there are plenty of diversions to keep grown-ups occupied as well, such as a full-service spa, a casino, sports facilities and an art nouveau-style theater.

As for lodging, cruisers can choose between Inside, Oceanview, Balcony, Club Balcony Suite and Suite category cabins. Those looking for even more space and luxury should opt for a cabin in The Haven, which offers multiple bedrooms and access to a private sun deck. 

Norwegian Jewel sails to a variety of destinations throughout California, Alaska, Asia, Mexico, South America and more.

Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise Review (Vancouver to Alaska) | An Honest Review

By Author Emily Junda

Posted on Last updated: December 28, 2023

Categories Alaska

Considering booking a Norwegian Cruise from Vancouver, BC, to Seward, AK? You’re in luck because Jake and I recently wrapped up our incredible journey on the Norwegian Jewel, cruising from Vancouver to Alaska. 

We’re excited to provide you with a candid review of our experience, offering insights and tips to make your decision and voyage even more enjoyable. So, settle in as we share the details of our Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise Review from Vancouver to Alaska.

But first, I want to mention that there are many different cruise lines and enticing port stops on an Alaskan Cruise. Our journey kicked off in the vibrant city of Vancouver, British Columbia, weaving through the picturesque landscapes of Alaska’s port towns, Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway. And wrapped up with two scenic sailing days in Glacier Bay National Park and a captivating encounter with Hubbard Glacier.

Whether your Alaskan Cruise mirrors these ports or you’re merely exploring to see if this cruise suits your preferences, our sincere review is here to be your compass. Let our insights steer you toward discovering the perfect Alaskan Cruise tailored just for you.

We paid for this vacation all ourselves, Norwegian Cruise Line DID NOT sponsor this post. All opinions are my own. 

How To Get To The Vancouver Cruise Port & Check-In 

The Vancouver Cruise Port is located right in downtown Vancouver and is easy to get to by foot or public transportation. Once you make it to the port, continue walking toward the end of the pier. Here you should see signs guiding you toward the check-in point. 

We stayed at Hotel Le Soleil by Executive Hotels which was a short 10-minute walk to the ship dock. Plus its location was within walking distance to many great restaurants. If you are looking for a hotel to stay the night before the cruise, we highly suggest this hotel!

The check-in location for the Norwegian Cruise line is located downstairs in the Vancouver Cruise Ship Dock . 

First, you can check any luggage you don’t want to drag around the ship before your rooms are ready. (Typically rooms aren’t ready until 3 pm). Norwegian Cruise Line staff will place a tag on your bag with the correct room number to deliver to later. 

Then, proceed to the check-in station. Have your passport ready! Staff will direct you through the remaining steps, from the security checkpoint and collecting your room key, etc. 

All-Inclusive (+ Details On The Drink Package)

The best part about cruising is the all-inclusive package that is included. This means you can eat your little heart out which usually equates to putting on a few pounds on your vacation. 

Unlimited Open Bar Drink Package

If you enjoy some boozy drinks on your vacation, you might consider adding the drink package to your Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise. 

With the current Cruise Deals offered with Norwegian’s Free At Sea, the unlimited drink package is already included. 

Here is a list of what is included in the Unlimited Open Bar Package: 

• Select, premium cocktails & spirits (under $15 USD)
• Variety of beer and wine by the glass (under $15 USD)
• 20% off all bottles of champagne and wine (above $15 USD)
• Unlimited soft drinks and juices

You are still responsible for a 20% gratuity (which is usually added to the bill automatically before checkout). 

If you are not going through the Free At Sea promotion, then the unlimited drink package costs $109 per day + Gratuity.

Typical Drink Prices Aboard Norwegian Jewel Cruise Ship:

• Beer: $6-$9 ($6 for domestic cans – $9 for draft)
• Wine: Starting around $9
• Cocktails: Starting around $10
• Soda: $3.50

Is The Drink Package On The Norwegian Jewel Worth It?

Personally, I only think the drink package is worth it if it’s included with the Free At Sea Package. Otherwise, you probably won’t get your money’s worth. 

So doing some light math, let’s say you start drinking in the early afternoon and have one drink per hour. Start with a few cocktails ($10 + $15 + $12 + $13). Then you go to dinner and switch to wine, let’s say you have 2 glasses ($9 + $15). Finally, you go to a show and have 2 more cocktails ($10 + $14). 

That’s 8 drinks total throughout the evening and the total is only $98 . 

So you actually didn’t even break even and this wasn’t totaling in the cheaper drink options on the menu. 

Plus if you are a beer drinker, then you would spend even less, because beer is typically $6-$9. 

So no, the drink package is NOT worth it on a Norwegian Cruise, unless it comes included with the Free At Sea Package. 

Learn more about our review of the drink package , aboard the Norwegian Cruise.

Hopefully, you can estimate the total # of drinks you plan to have on the cruise to see if it fits into your budget.

It’s important to note, you can’t pick and choose what days you want the unlimited open bar package. It’s ‘all-or-nothing’ for the duration of your cruise. (So for a 7-day cruise, that’s $109 x 7 days = $763 total)

Premium Plus Drink Package

There is also the option to upgrade to the Premium Plus Drink Package which includes many higher-end liquors and wines for an additional $29 per day . 

This can be a great option if you like top-shelf liquors and wines rather than the medium-tier options they offer. (Personally, I thought the complementary liquor options offered were satisfactory: Skyy, 1800 Reposado, Jameson, etc).

You also get unlimited still & sparkling bottled water, plus all Starbucks ® coffee & specialty drinks included in the premium drink package. Which could be beneficial if you plan to get specialty coffees and bottled water daily aboard.

Restaurants On The Norwegian Jewel

One benefit of a Norwegian cruise line is the wide variety of options for different restaurants and cuisines offered. 

• O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill ( Pub Fare ) – Middle, Deck 8
• Azura ( Fancy/Casual Dining Room ) – Middle, Deck 6
• Chin Chin ( Asian ) – Middle, Deck 7

• The Great Outdoors ( Outdoor Buffet ) – Back, Deck 12
• Topsiders Bar & Grill ( Main Pool Bar & Grill ) – Middle, Deck 12
• Tsar’s Palace ( Fancy/Casual Dining Room ) – Back, Deck 6

• Cagney’s Steakhouse ( Steakhouse ) – Middle, Deck 13
• Le Bistro ( French ) – Middle, Deck 6
• Teppanyaki ( Japanese ) – Middle, Deck 7

Our Review Of The Complementary Food on the Norwegian Jewel

Personally, we weren’t really that impressed with the Norwegian Cruise Line food. While there definitely was a nice variety of options, it just seemed like everything was mass-produced and lacked flavor. 

The main dining rooms ( Azura & Tsar’s Palace ) offered a nice casual-luxury feel. You could either dress nicer or keep it casual, which we appreciated. We had some of our favorite dinner meals here. They offered many different cuisines such as pasta, steak, sandwiches, etc.

The main cafeteria ( Garden Café ) was always SOOOO busy that it was very difficult to find an open table. And we were a party of 2, so I can only imagine if you needed a larger table how much more difficult it may be. The cafe does offer the widest variety of different cuisines, but the place kind of stressed me out. 

The Outdoor Cafe was just an extension of the Garden Cafe but outdoors on the rear of the ship. And because we were on an Alaskan Cruise, it was often chilly outdoors and the buffet was much smaller than the indoor cafe. 

Topsiders Bar & Grill pretty much just had pool grub, like burgers and hot dogs. On a warm summer day, this might hit the spot, but we weren’t really impressed with the quality of food offered here. 

O’Sheehan’s Neighborhood Bar & Grill was probably our favorite complementary restaurant overall. Their Reuben was really tasty, but their appetizers left much to be desired. We just enjoyed the vibe of this restaurant as it was casual and had nice booths with windows to enjoy the scenery. And there are also TVs which we enjoyed a few football games. This is the only restaurant open 24/7.

And lastly, we gave Chin Chin a couple of tries for dinner. While it was Asian style, it was generally just okay. We felt flavors were lacking, and it just felt like they had dry meat mixed in with some already pre-mixed sauces to help fast production of food. Overall, we thought the meals were good, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it was 5 stars.

Our Review Of The Specialty Dining On The Norwegian Jewel

We only got to try out 1 of the specialty dining restaurants ( Cagney’s Steakhouse ). This was included in the Norwegian Jewel Cruise Ship Free At Sea promotion.

The menu was large, and we each got to choose an appetizer, soup/salad, main, and dessert. Jake got the filet mignon and I got the prime rib. We were impressed with Jake’s meal, but my prime rib was cold when it arrived and overall pretty chewy. 

The service was VERY SLOW, but we were in no rush, so we were just patient. 

I can’t really suggest paying the extra cost for specialty dining. I just think it is way overpriced, service was slow and too similar to the food already offered complimentary. 

Currency On The Norwegian Jewel 

Cruise attendees don’t pay cash for anything onboard. In the boarding process, you will receive your room key, which also doubles as your credit card. You will be asked to attach a credit card or debit card before boarding the ship. 

When the cruise commences, the Norwegian Cruise Line will charge the final bill to the card or debit card you have on file.

There is the guest services desk in the main atrium (deck 7- middle of the ship) where you can discuss any billing issues on board.

Best Time To Go On An Alaskan Cruise With Norweign Jewel

Alaskan Cruises are typically only offered from May through September . If you want the best weather July and August will provide warmer temperatures and typically sunnier weather. But overall, the weather in Alaska can be rather wet and cloudy many days out of the year.

Fun Fact: Ketchikan, Alaska is one of the rainiest cities in America. They get about 140 – 160 inches per year and it rains about 300 days out of the year.

So while summer offers your best chance for better weather, you should still expect some rainfall and cloudy conditions. 

Cruise Port Days (+ How To Get To Town)

On our Norwegian Jewel Cruise from Vancouver to Alaska, we stopped at Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway.

We were pleased to find lots of great restaurants and breweries (our personal favorite) in each town. We were hoping that local seafood would be really affordable, but were a little disappointed to find out it was still very expensive.

And there are plenty of shops with souvenirs and a nauseating amount of jewelry stores at each stop. But if shopping is your thing, you will find plenty of stores to check out.

Personally, we were much more interested in exploring the natural beauty of each location.

Below I will include some of the best excursions offered at each port town. Cruise lines do prefer if you book through them so they can make sure you can safely and punctually get to your excursion and back to the ship.

But it is not required to specifically book through them. (I will say, the prices do tend to be slightly higher if you book through the cruise line, than if you book through a third party). 

But with third parties like Viator or Get Your Guide , they can likely find cruise-specific tours and often have all the necessary details for getting you to and from your cruise port dock. 

Ketchikan Port Day

Best Excursions: Misty Fjords & Wilderness Explorer , Lighthouse, Totems & Eagles Excursion , Bering Sea Crab Fisherman’s Tour , Neets Bear Encounter By Land & Sea , Back Country Jeep® & Canoe Safari

Free Activities: Hike Deer Mountain Trail, explore Creek Street, Totem Heritage Center

Juneau Port Day

Best Excursions: Mendenhall Glacier Explorer (Cheapest Option), Mendenhall Glacier Canoe Paddle & Trek , Dog Sledding Summer Camp , Mendenhall Glacier By Helicopter & Guided Walk , Mendenhall Glacier & Juneau Tram

Free Activities: Walk around downtown or Bus from Downtown Transit Center to Mendenhall Loop Rd & Dredge Lake Rd ($2 one way) – walk 1.5 miles to Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center (cheapest way to see Mendenhall Glacier).

Skagway Port Day

Best Excursions: White Pass Scenic Railway

Free Activities: Explore downtown

How To Get From The Cruise Ship To Town or Booked Excursions 

Free shuttles.

When we were aboard the Norwegian Jewel, we never docked right inside the town itself, rather we always needed to shuttle to and from town. It did feel like our Norwegian Cruise Ship had the least priority for docking locations (other cruise lines got to dock right in town). 

While this was inconvenient, they did provide easy and efficient shuttles that brought us to and from the ship. 

The biggest negative was it forced you to grab food in town. (I’ve been on cruise lines where we docked right in town, so it made it easy to jump back on the boat to grab lunch and then head back out into town). 

Or if you booked an excursion, they will have a separate shuttle to take you directly on your tour. There will usually be important information printed on your ticket about where to meet up. 

( Tickets are delivered to your room upon boarding ). If you did not receive your tickets and you booked through the cruise line, you can visit their excursion desk for more information. 

Days At Sea (Glacier Bay National Park & Hubbard Glacier)

Some of my favorite days on the Norwegian Jewel Cruise Line were the scenic days at sea. We were able to explore Glacier Bay National Park and Hubbard Glacier via the cruise ship. 

For Glacier Bay National Park, the ship onboarded National Park Rangers to give narration about the area. They would point out any wildlife and information about how the area has changed over the years. 

These were the days when you could tell everyone was onboard the ship because everywhere was busy. And because the temperatures were chilly, many people preferred to be indoors against the windows to take in the beautiful views (but there weren’t nearly enough seats for the number of people). So many people were forced outside in the cold. (If you’re properly dressed, then the time outside can be enjoyable too).

For the people outside taking in the scenic views, it got very crowded on the pool deck and deck above along the railings. This was one of the major flaws of the Norwegian Cruise Line design because there was not really enough space for everyone to enjoy the views along the railings “peacefully”. 

Therefore, you needed to switch back and forth between guests so you could all get a nice view without being behind other people’s heads. Obviously, this was a tad annoying and a flaw of the boat design for an Alaskan Cruise, but everyone made it work! 

For the days at sea on a Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise, it is a HUGE benefit to have a balcony room. This can provide you with some personal space away from other tourists. But sadly, you won’t be offered 360 views, so you could get FOMO for not being able to see the other side of the passage. 

Pools & Hot Tubs On Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise

The Norwegian Jewel Cruise Ship has two different pools. One is family-friendly, and the other is 18+. Both pools are heated making them a comfortable temperature even in cold weather.

There are also 4 separate hot tubs on the main pool deck. Again 2 are family-friendly, and two are located in the adult-only area (ages 18+). 

There are also 2 additional hot tubs in the Thermal Suites (which are an additional charge and separated by male/female exclusive rooms). 

You will also see two other hot tubs 2 decks above from the main pool deck, but you must be part of the Haven Club. 

For an Alaskan Cruise, the pools were barely touched, but the hot tubs are highly sought after. In the late evening, it was hard to snag a spot because they were often very full with other tourists. If you want to avoid the crowds, go at unique times, such as morning or lunch/early afternoon. 

Staterooms On The Norwegian Jewel

There are 6 different stateroom options: 

• Inside (cheapest, lowest tier room, small, no windows)
• Oceanview (small window out to sea inside a small room)
• Balcony (glass doors open to a small balcony)
• Club Balcony Suite (slightly larger rooms than just a balcony room, luxury bath and shower)
• Suite (spacious luxury rooms, with larger balcony)
• The Haven (top tier most luxurious of the stateroom options, located at the top of the ship, and features 24-hour butler service, concierge service, and private sundeck)

Our Inside Stateroom On The Norwegian Jewel

Jake and I opted for a budget room, so we got an inside stateroom. Honestly, the room was small, but it was clean and had enough space for the two of us. But, if we had to choose again, we probably would have paid the extra cost to get a balcony room. 

On an Alaskan Cruise where the majority of the cruise is about sightseeing, it can be nice to have a space all to yourself. Many of the top decks were packed with people and not everyone got a railing, so you had to interchange places so everyone could get some unobstructed photos and videos.

Usually on a Caribbean Cruise, you will be sitting out on the sun loungers and barely in your room. So I think an inside room is honestly fine. But for an Alaskan Cruise, a balcony can be a worthy upgrade.

Entertainment On The Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise

There is never a dull moment on the Norwegian Cruise Line. If you are someone who has to stay busy all day long, there is always something going on. In the morning there is usually trivia or bingo, afternoon some fun family games, and in the evening some very talented shows.

Actually, it’s perhaps a weird complaint, but we sometimes felt like there were too many events going on. We struggled to find a quiet and comfortable place to sit and play cards while watching the scenery go by.

The evening entertainment of our Norwegian Cruise Ship was AMAZING and certainly a highlight of our trip! There were talented singers, gymnasts/acrobats, comedians, and more in the Stardust Theater. 

Wifi/Cell Service On Board The Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise

Wifi is a JOKE on the Norwegian Jewel. In our Free At Sea cruise package, we were offered 100 minutes of complimentary wifi. You waste many minutes just trying to get connected. 

You also need to be connected to log out to save your minutes. I ran into connection issues many times, especially when trying to log out of my wifi package. Therefore, many minutes were lost not even using the internet, just simply trying to log out. 

My husband opted for the unlimited wifi package in hopes the wifi connection would somehow improve. But it really didn’t work any better and was just a throwaway of money. Even with the upgrade, they severely throttle internet bandwidth. I believe it was capped a 2mbps, and functionally it was sometimes barely enough to even load emails.

Also, the wifi didn’t work in our inside stateroom at all. It only worked when we were on the upper levels of the ship. 

Internet Cafe On Norwegian Jewel

Another thought was the Internet Cafe would maybe have the strongest connection on board. WRONG! The Internet Cafe just provides community use of computers. 

If you don’t have a cell phone or laptop to connect to the wifi, then this can be a great option to get connected.

Cell Service at Cruise Ports in Alaska

For U.S. Citizens on an Alaska Cruise, you may benefit from using your cellular data at port. Many of the cell towers will work for main cell phone carriers without any additional charges. 

But when you are out at sea, the cell towers act differently, and you will be charged for using your phone. So make sure you only use your phone when docked at ports, otherwise you might have a hefty phone bill for roaming out at sea.

Norwegian Cruise App

The Norwegian Cruise App allows you to pre-book dining reservations, book shore excursions, see the schedule of entertainment on board, or to chat or call members on board. But with the wifi being poor, it was hard to use the app successfully aboard, so I found the app was basically useless. 

Hopefully, they improve this feature to work better with the community wifi in the future!

They provide a daily publication in your room, that outlines the days activities, local information, weather, and more.

Sports On Board The Norwegian Jewel

There are actually a handful of different sports to try out on the Norwegian Jewel. There is a large court located on Deck 13 where guests can play basketball, soccer, volleyball, etc. Or on deck 12 there is a large shuffleboard game, large-size bowling, and a golf net.

Pulse Fitness Center

The fitness center is free of charge and actually has a nice variety of different machines and weights. Plus each piece of cardio equipment faces out to the beautiful views. 

We found the fitness center to be quite busy, especially in the mornings. If you want to avoid the crowds, mid-afternoon seemed to be the best time. 

You can also participate in daily aerobics/fitness classes. Classes typically cost $20 per class. 

Additionally, there is also a jogging/walking track on Deck 13 that is open 24/7. However, it was often slippery because of rain, and part of shared space on the upper deck. So functionally it didn’t seem like an ideal place to run/jog in peace.

Mandara Spa 

There is a luxury spa located on the Norwegian Jewel. The spa offers a wide variety of different treatments for an additional charge. If you enjoy pampering yourself on vacation, this could be exactly what you need.

Thermal Suite

You can also opt to pay for the thermal suite. Here you will find the Thalasso Therapy Pool and gendered thermal suite rooms. The thermal suites each have a sauna, steam room, and hot tub.

Our Honest Review Of Norwegian Jewel Alaska Cruise From Vancouver To Alaska

We were overall happy with our experience on the Norwegian Jewel Alaskan Cruise. And actually, a cruise ship is probably the best way to get to many of Alaska’s remote coastal destinations. Personally, we were most interested in seeing and experiencing Alaska’s natural beauty.

This cruise does however leave some things to be desired.

When you think of a cruise ship, you’re probably thinking of a tropical sunny destination. And well, this ship is certainly designed for a cruise of that nature. 

The Norwegian Jewel also sails to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama Canal, Asia, Bahamas, and the Pacific Coastal.

There are deck chairs that surround the boat lined up for you to soak up the sun and less of an emphasis on unobstructed views. And views are typically the main reason people go on an Alaskan Cruise in my opinion. 

Therefore, overall, the views certainly impressed us, but the boat is not exactly designed for sightseeing in chilly temperatures. It was rare for many people to be “sunbathing” on the pool deck. And with this area being largely unused meant that passengers were disproportionately concentrated in other areas.

The seats indoors with great views were always in extremely high demand. So we felt that the Norwegian Jewel didn’t quite provide for that enough.

Additionally, the main pool deck area has tall glass windows stretching nearly 10 feet tall, which isn’t ideal for snapping that legendary Alaska photo. 

So many people sought after the railings with no windows which was not nearly large enough for the amount of people. Ultimately making it hard to truly take in the beauty because people were kind of jockeying for a ‘front row’ view of the scenery.

These were some of the flaws we noticed in the Norwegian Jewel. BUT…

Overall, I think an Alaskan Cruise is 100% worth it. If you enjoy beautiful nature, then there is an abundance of scenery that will simply make your jaw drop. And the onboard entertainment was the second biggest highlight of the trip.

I think a Norwegian Jewel Cruise was right for our budget. I think it struck a nice balance between budget, yet still seeming “comfort-luxury”.

We cruised with the Free At Sea Promotional Package , allowing us to get the cruise for 50% off, including the drink package, 1 specialty dining experience, 100 minutes of free wifi, and a $50 voucher for an excursion. So for the lower prices, the cruise was so worth it to us!

If budget was less of an issue, we maybe would have chosen a different cruise line that is known for better food, and maybe has more of an emphasis on decks for the ultimate viewing experience. 

We hope this honest review for a Vancouver to Alaska Norwegian Jewel Cruise was helpful and makes your decision if this cruise is right for you!

Norwegian Jewel Itineraries

Norwegian jewel review, review of norwegian jewel.

The 2005-built Norwegian Jewel cruise ship is the 1st of NCL's Jewel-class liners - together with Norwegian Gem , Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Pearl .

The vessel (IMO number 9304045) is currently Bahamas- flagged (MMSI 311827000) and registered in Nassau .

History - construction and ownership

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is a subsidiary company of the shipping corporation Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH). NCL was founded in 1966, headquartered in Miami (Florida USA) and publicly traded (NASDAQ) company listed on NYSE ( NYC ). NCLH's major shareholders are the corporations Apollo Global Management (American), Genting Group (Malaysian) and TPG Capital (American). In 2017, the brand NCL had a worldwide cruise market share 8,7% (passengers) and 8,4% (revenue). NCLH (shipowner) owns the brands NCL , Oceania and RSSC-Regent .

The 2400-passenger ship Norwegian Jewel became operational in August 2005. Built at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany she was christened on November 3, 2005, during an official ceremony at the Port of Miami. Designed to be in the category of Freestyle Cruising, Norwegian Jewel easily transports 2,400 guests and over 1,000 crew members. The special about this vessel is her speed, restaurant options, and family comfortable accommodations. Norwegian Jewel also gives passengers different options for relaxation like public bars and lounges, well-equipped sports and fitness facilities, and staterooms designed with rich cherry wood finishing.

Decks and Cabins

Norwegian Jewel staterooms (1188 total, in 35 grades) include 190x Suites, 360x Balcony, 243x Oceanview and 411 Inside cabins. Most staterooms are sized 140-160 ft2 (13-15 m2). The largest accommodations are the 3-Bedroom The Haven Garden Villa (2320 ft2 / 216 m2, with terrace sized 1035 ft2 / 96 m2).

The boat has 15 decks , of which 12 are passenger-accessible and 7 with cabins.

During the 2-week drydock 2018 refurbishment , all passenger staterooms were upgraded with smart HDTVs and USB outlets, new carpeting, furniture and artworks. "The Haven" cabin complex received courtyard updates, and all villas and suites received new finishes, tiles, drapes, carpets, artworks and furniture. Additional cabanas were added to Sun Deck. Two new Haven Deluxe Owner Suites were added (max capacity 4 pax, cabin size 1200 ft2 / 112 m2, balcony size 565 ft2 / 53 m2, with terrace whirlpool).

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Passengers onboard Norwegian Jewel can seek out their preferred dishes at Cagney's Steak House, Blue Lagoon, and the signature restaurant Le Bistro, or can try the lovely pasta at Mama's Italian Kitchen and tapas at Tangos. The main restaurant, Tsar's Palace, shows the magnificence of St. Petersburg with gold ceilings, shining chandeliers, and ornate balustrades reminiscent of Faberge eggs. An electronic system onboard Norwegian Jewel cuts down on wait times and lines in the restaurants. Monitors throughout the corridors reveal how busy the eateries are, with a bar ranging from green (come on in) to red (crowded). This screen acts as an electronic hostess and lets guests know how long the wait is for a table for four, for example, and where parties are being accepted.

Norwegian Jewel Wiki

Jewel is the first of the Jewel-class NCL ships. Her sisters in the fleet are the NCL ships  Gem ,  Jade  and  Pearl . The ship was christened on November 3, 2005, at PortMiami. The vessel's godmother is the wife of the real estate magnate (multibillionaire and future US President) Donald Trump - Melania Trump (Slovenian, born Apr 26, 1970). Later, Mr Trump required a 30 sec long TV commercial reviewing the new NCL ship to be placed during one of the episodes of “The Apprentice” (reality game TV series).

The Inaugural Cruise (Maiden Voyage) was on August 10, 2005 (Mediterranean/Europe), Caribbean Inaugural on November 4, 2005 (from  Port Miami ).

NCL Jewel, just like the fleet mate Pearl, was a TV commercial star. The "big show" was for about 30 sec in one of the episodes of NBC's "The Apprentice" TV-series (US game show hosted by Mr Trump).

During NCL Jewel's 2014 drydock refurbishment, the ship was retrofitted with new "scrubbers" (exhaust gas cleaning systems). The new scrubber technology reduces the equivalent of approx 1500 tons of the poisonous gas Sulfur Oxide. Norwegian Cruise Line was the first cruise company retrofitting with a scrubber hybrid system vessels while in service. The new in-line scrubbers (5 units) are lightweight and able to operate in a dry mode, as well as in open and closed loops.

Norwegian Cruise Line food: The ultimate cruise guide to restaurants and dining on board

Norwegian Cruise Line has always been a bit of a rebel when it comes to food.

Back in 2000, the company introduced the concept of Freestyle Cruising, and with it, the idea of Freestyle Dining. Guests no longer were assigned to traditional early or late dinner seatings in the main dining rooms on Norwegian Cruise Line's ships, but rather could decide when they wanted to eat and with whom.

The cruise line also began to roll out specialty restaurants — smaller, cuisine-specific dining venues such as the French-themed Le Bistro and Cagney's Steakhouse — that passengers could reserve for an additional cover charge.

For cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Today, passengers will find more than three dozen dining options, including 21 that require a cover charge or feature a la carte pricing, on board NCL's 17 ships. While the cruise fare covers a number of restaurants, specialty restaurants requiring an extra charge are popular, and new specialty restaurants are introduced with each class of ship.

The onboard restaurant lineup also varies by ship, with those in the Prima, Breakaway and Breakaway Plus classes having a larger selection than the line's older, smaller ships.

How do you make sense of it all? We've compiled a rundown of all the Norwegian Cruise Line food options, from coffee and gelato shops to a la carte restaurants where the tab can easily top $150 for two. Here's what's included, what you'll pay extra for and the ships that feature each dining venue.

American Diner

Included; lunch and dinner

This 1950s-inspired diner featured on all six ships in NCL's Breakaway and Breakaway Plus classes offers quintessential midcentury comfort foods — from cheeseburgers and meatloaf to chicken pot pie and spaghetti and meatballs. Desserts include bread pudding and carrot walnut cake. The food is now all free (Norwegian made this change in early 2024), but if you want to wash it down with a milkshake, you'll need to pay up.

Atrium Cafe

A la carte; coffee and snacks

Atrium Cafe is a coffee and cocktail bar that serves hot and cold beverages along with a selection of cookies, pastries and other snacks. Alternately, some NCL ships feature Starbucks cafes.

Available on : Norwegian Escape, Jewel, Spirit, Star and Sun

Cadillac Diner

Included; breakfast, lunch and dinner

You'll have to head to Hawaii to enjoy the barbecue pulled pork sliders, pretzel bites, Reuben sandwiches and more served up retro-style in the Cadillac Diner. This venue, with its funky black-and-white checkered floor and vinyl booths wedged between two sections of a vintage red sedan, is found exclusively on Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America. It's open 24 hours a day, and everything is complimentary except for the milkshakes.

Available on : Pride of America

Cagney's Steakhouse

A la carte; dinner

One of NCL's most popular specialty restaurants, Cagney's features a classic steakhouse menu with plenty of options for seafood lovers as well. The stars are the cuts of aged certified Angus beef (rib-eye, filet mignon, porterhouse and New York strip) with a choice of sauces and side dishes such as truffle mashed potatoes and sauteed garlic mushrooms. Other options include cedar-plank steelhead trout and double-cut Australian lamb chops. Save room for the OMG Caramel-Butterscotch Cheesecake.

Available : Fleetwide (except Norwegian Sky)

Chinese restaurant

Included; dinner, plus lunch on select days

If you're craving shrimp dumplings or a bowl of stir-fried noodles with beef, a number of older Norwegian Cruise Line ships feature a complimentary Chinese restaurant where you can get your fix. Names vary by ship — you'll find Bamboo on Dawn, Shanghai's on Epic, Orchid Garden on Gem, Jasmine Garden on Jade, Chin Chin on Jewel, Lotus Garden on Pearl, Silk on Spirit, Ginza on Star and East Meets West on Pride of America — but the menus are similar.

Available on : Norwegian Dawn, Epic, Gem, Jade, Jewel, Pearl, Pride of America, Spirit and Star

A la carte; snacks and treats

A cross between an ice cream parlor and a candy shop, Coco's features an array of treats — chocolates from around the world, milkshakes, crepes and more — to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss and Encore

Dolce Gelato

When it's midafternoon and the sun in the Caribbean or Mediterranean is blazing, you can head to this takeaway counter on Deck 8 for a cup or cone of irresistibly creamy gelato.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Encore, Escape and Getaway

Food Republic

A la carte; dinner and lunch on sea days

This globally inspired specialty restaurant with an Asian-Latin fusion theme remains popular almost a decade after its debut on Norwegian Escape. You'll want to order multiple dishes to share family-style from Food Republic 's menu sections: Sushi Bar (eight different rolls), Hand Helds (everything from pork belly bao buns to kanpachi wonton tacos), Sharing Is Caring (grilled shishito peppers, spicy Korean fried chicken, salt and pepper calamari and more), Noodles/Rice/Soups (shrimp pad thai to Vietnamese Pho Tai) and Sugar Pump (desserts featuring green tea, chocolate and ginger caramel).

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Encore, Escape, Joy, Prima and Viva

Garden Cafe

Sometimes, the buffet is the answer. It's perfect when you get on board the first day and need to grab a quick bite before you explore the ship or when you arrive back after a daylong shore excursion and want to refuel right away without having to change clothes. Garden Cafe offers plenty of options, including carved meats or grilled fish with assorted side dishes, a salad bar, soups, pasta, burgers and fries, and desserts. Most items are precooked and kept warm under heat lamps, so it's not the freshest option, but it's usually packed at breakfast and lunch with guests who like the all-you-can-eat portions.

Available : Fleetwide (except Norwegian Prima and Viva)

Cover charge; dinner

This is a slightly more elevated version of NCL's Teppanyaki restaurant. You'll be seated with other guests around a grill, and as you dine on edamame, miso soup and seaweed salad, the chef will prepare your entree (a choice of chicken, beef, seafood or teriyaki-glazed tofu or one of four combinations) with great flair. These fresh-from-the-grill proteins are served with garlic fried rice and grilled vegetables, and the dessert that follows is either a green tea cake or fruit sashimi.

Available on : Norwegian Prima and Viva

This circular, light-filled space debuted on Norwegian Prima in 2022 as a new main dining room option. It features the same daily rotating menu as the second main dining room, the Commodore Room, but what sets this venue apart is its bright-and-airy ambience, courtesy of 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows.

Indulge Food Hall

This new casual dining concept, also introduced on Norwegian Prima, quickly became a popular alternative to the Surfside Cafe buffet (see below) for both lunch and dinner; at breakfast, it serves a similar but more limited menu as Surfside. The appeal of Indulge Food Hall is the variety — there are more than four dozen menu items from seven vendors: Tapas, The Garden, Nudls, The Latin Quarter, Q Texas Smokehouse, Seaside Rotisserie and Tamara — served in small-plate portions. You can enjoy chicken korma, pad thai, pulled pork, crispy fried okra, a mushroom tostada and bacon-wrapped medjool dates, all ordered from your table via a tablet.

La Cucina was Norwegian's sole Italian specialty restaurant until the launch of Onda by Scarpetta on Norwegian Encore in 2018, and the two restaurants are quite different. La Cucina is the more traditional, featuring classic Italian favorites — caprese salad, fried calamari, spaghetti carbonara, pizza, chicken cacciatore and osso buco alla Milanese — while Onda's menu focuses on more finessed modern Italian dishes.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Escape, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Joy, Pearl, Sky, Star and Sun

Like Cagney's, NCL's French fine-dining restaurant is a longtime favorite that's featured fleetwide (it's called Jefferson's Bistro on Pride of America). Popular with couples for special occasion dinners, Le Bistro features everything from steak tartare and escargot to braised lamb shank and roasted duck breast. With its a la carte pricing, this is among the richest (and costliest) dining experiences on board, especially if accompanied by a bottle of Champagne or other French wine. Le Bistro restaurants on Norwegian Prima and Viva are especially atmospheric, with dramatic large-scale chandeliers and elegant ivory-and-blue decor.

Available : Fleetwide

Vibrant decor and sophisticated Mexican cuisine that goes beyond the usual Tex-Mex fare make Los Lobos an appealing option if you're sailing on one of the six ships that feature it. The guacamole, made fresh tableside, is a must. Other menu options include Mexican-style shrimp ceviche, grilled mahi-mahi tacos, nopales (cactus) salad, chicken mole enchiladas and cochinita pibil (slow-braised pork). Top it all off with a tres leches cake with coconut cream.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Dawn, Encore, Prima, Sun and Viva

Main dining room

Norwegian Cruise Line ships feature at least two main dining rooms, and sometimes even three. Names vary by ship — although the six Breakaway Class and Breakaway Plus Class ships all feature the Manhattan Room, plus Savor and Taste, and Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva have the Commodore Room and Hudson's. Menus change daily throughout the cruise and feature a selection of American and international dishes.

Moderno Churrascaria

Carnivores can devour their fill of a variety of meats the traditional Brazilian way as gauchos carve and serve cuts of beef, lamb, pork, sausage and chicken right at the table. Those who prefer to limit their meat intake can fill up instead at the salad bar, which features 43 items. White rice, black beans, sauteed mushrooms, garlic mashed potatoes, fried yucca and Brazilian cheese bread are also served as side dishes.

Available on : Norwegian Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Escape, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Pearl, Star and Sun

Nama Sushi & Sashimi

Another new restaurant to debut on Norwegian Prima, Nama Sushi & Sashimi doesn't veer too far from its name, serving six different sushi rolls (from yellowtail to rock shrimp), three sashimi options and a variety of appetizers, most of which feature raw fish. Even the dessert — pineapple carpaccio — is uncooked.

Ocean Blue is an elegant seafood restaurant featured on NCL's six Breakaway Class and Breakaway Plus Class ships. (It's known as Bayamo by Ocean Blue on Norwegian Escape.) Guests can savor appetizers such as crabcakes, pan-seared scallops and an ahi tuna and avocado tower, followed by steamed or grilled lobster, seafood linguini or simply grilled fish (salmon, tuna, cod or sea bass) served with a choice of sauces. All Ocean Blue restaurants are located on Deck 8 and feature indoor and outdoor seating on The Waterfront.

Onda by Scarpetta

Modern Italian cuisine is the centerpiece of Onda by Scarpetta, another of NCL's elevated specialty dining options and the sister restaurant to land-based Scarpetta. Introduced in 2019 on Norwegian Encore and more recently rolled out on the line's newest ships (plus at least one older vessel), Onda by Scarpetta indulges with antipasti starters such as burrata, short ribs and braised octopus, a half dozen pasta options (including pappardelle Bolognese and Scarpetta's famous spaghetti with tomato and basil) and finally gets around to secondis such as veal Milanese and grilled branzino. The main question will be: Do you have room for dessert?

Available on : Norwegian Encore, Prima, Spirit and Viva

O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill

Included; 24-hour dining

This lively and social pub-style eatery overlooks the buzzing three-deck Atrium on Breakaway Class ships and is also featured on seven older NCL ships. It's open 24 hours a day and serves comfort classics such as burgers, fish and chips, chicken wings, beef chili and loaded nachos.

Available on : Norwegian Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Escape, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Pearl and Star

One of NCL's newest dining venues, Palomar celebrates the Mediterranean with a menu featuring lots of Greek influences. Seafood dishes outnumber meat options and include tuna crudo, grilled prawns, Mediterranean sea bass with chickpeas and saffron puree, and sea scallops with prosciutto, le puy lentils, clams and pistachio pesto. Desserts include Greek yogurt sorbet with orange custard pie.

Pincho Tapas Bar

This unique Spanish-style tapas bar is found on only one ship in the Breakaway Class and fits in with the ship's overall Miami/Latin-influenced theme. Head to Pinchos if you're looking to enjoy small-plate dishes such as blue crab salad and bacon-wrapped dates, as well as chorizo, calamari, shrimp, scallops and more served a la plancha. Wash it all down with a Spanish red, a glass of sangria or a signature Matador cocktail.

Available on : Norwegian Escape

Included; casual lunch

Three Norwegian ships feature a pool grill (all with different names) that's open for lunch and late afternoon snacks. The venue serves casual fare such as burgers, hot dogs and french fries.

Available on : Norwegian Dawn, Gem and Pride of America

Q Texas Smokehouse

This barbecue eatery debuted on Norwegian Bliss in 2018, and its menu features smoked meats (pit classics like brisket, pulled pork and beef short ribs), as well as calorific sides (loaded fries, crispy fried okra, onion rings and macaroni and cheese). You can also enjoy live country music and even sweat off the excess calories by dancing (before ordering pecan pie or peach cobbler for dessert). A more limited menu is available for free as part of Indulge Food Hall on Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva — but you'll need to dance elsewhere.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Encore and Joy

Savor (and Taste)

These two restaurants on all six Breakaway Class and Breakaway Plus Class ships are essentially smaller-scale main dining rooms. They are located across from each other on Deck 6 and feature lunch and dinner menus that change daily.

Shanghai's Noodle Bar

This casual dining venue serves a selection of freshly prepared and wok-fried Asian noodle and rice dishes, from pork pot stickers and steamed vegetable dumplings to Singapore-style rice noodles and udon noodles in broth.

Available on : Norwegian Breakaway, Epic and Getaway

Included; casual pub fare

While most NCL ships, with the exception of Pride of America, have a pub-style complimentary eatery — either O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill or The Local Bar & Grill — one older outlier has Sports Bar. Like the other eateries, this venue is free and features comfort classics such as Reuben sandwiches, chicken wings and fish and chips.

Available on : Norwegian Sun

A la carte; coffee, breakfast and snacks

NCL wasn't the first cruise line to feature the well-known coffee chain (that would be Royal Caribbean), but it now has the most Starbucks cafes on board its ships. Guests can purchase frappuccinos, lattes, cold brews and many of the other coffee, tea and breakfast and pastry items that are available on land.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Encore, Epic, Gem, Getaway, Joy, Prima, Sky and Viva

Surfside Cafe & Grill

With the debut of Norwegian Prima, NCL evolved its buffet-style restaurant (known as Garden Cafe on most ships) to Surfside Cafe & Grill. The Deck 17 space is notably smaller, though, due to the fact that Prima Class ships also feature Indulge Food Hall and The Local Bar & Grill as complimentary casual dining options. The reduced size does result in some overcrowding, especially at breakfast, with overflow guests directed to find seats in the adjacent Food Republic space.

All but three NCL ships feature Teppanyaki , a Benihana-style Japanese restaurant where the live-action preparation is integral to the experience. You'll be seated around a grill as your chef prepares your entree (either chicken, beef, seafood or teriyaki-glazed tofu or one of four combinations) with dramatic flair. You'll start with miso soup and seaweed salad, and all entrees are served with garlic fried rice and grilled vegetables. Dessert is either a green tea cake or fruit sashimi. Hasuki replaces Teppanyaki on Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Dawn, Encore, Epic, Escape, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Joy, Pearl, Spirit, Star and Sun

The Bake Shop

A sugar rush is practically guaranteed at The Bake Shop, a Deck 8 confectionery selling assorted bonbons (with fillings from passion fruit to praline), cupcakes (more than a dozen options, including red velvet, chocolate-pistachio and lemon merengue) and French macarons in a dozen flavors.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Encore and Getaway

The Great Outdoors

Included; lunch

This outdoor casual buffet on seven Norwegian Cruise Line ships has a come-as-you-are dress code and serves burgers, hot dogs, fries and other items for guests who want to enjoy some ocean scenery with their lunch.

Available on : Norwegian Epic, Gem, Jade, Jewel, Pearl, Sky and Sun

The Haven Restaurant

Included for guests booked in The Haven; breakfast, lunch and dinner

If you book a suite in The Haven, the exclusive ship-within-a-ship enclave found on every new NCL ship since it was introduced on Norwegian Epic in 2010, you'll enjoy access to The Haven Restaurant. Open only to Haven guests, it serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Menus here do not change, but there are generally enough options (a dozen appetizers and 10 entrees at dinner, for example) that you can dine here multiple times without repeating a dish or running out of interesting dishes to try.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Encore, Epic, Escape, Getaway, Joy, Prima and Viva

The Local Bar & Grill

The Local Bar & Grill is a favored hangout for sports telecasts and trivia contests, as well as a go-to for guests when anytime-hunger strikes. Like its comfort food sibling O'Sheehans's Bar & Grill, its 24-hour menu features breakfast, all-day and late-night items that include omelets, cheeseburgers, chicken wings, fish and chips and loaded nachos.

Available on : Norwegian Bliss, Encore, Joy, Prima, Sky, Spirit and Viva

The Raw Bar

Located adjacent to Ocean Blue, this casual option with counter seating serves oysters, clams, shellfish and crudos (salmon tartare, black sea bass ceviche and more), as well as wines by the glass and a selection of desserts.

Available on : Norwegian Breakaway and Getaway

Topsiders Bar & Grill

Included; casual pool grill with varying hours

Five older NCL ships feature Topsiders Bar & Grill, a poolside venue serving burgers, hot dogs, french fries and other takeaway items.

Available on : Norwegian Gem, Jewel, Pearl, Sky and Star

Wasabi (or Sushi)

This contemporary sushi bar — called either Wasabi or Sushi, depending on the ship — is the spot for cocktails, sake and Japanese specialties that include sesame seaweed salad, sushi and specialty rolls, nigiri, sashimi and yakitori. On Prima Class ships, you'll find Nama Sushi & Sashimi with a different menu.

Available on : Norwegian Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Pearl, Spirit, Star and Sun

FAQs about NCL dining

Is norwegian cruise line's food free.

You can dine for free during your cruise at any of the complimentary dining venues on board NCL ships. There are typically four to six included dining venues per ship, several of which serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Is there a main dining room?

Yes, all NCL ships feature a main dining room — some have as many as three — and Freestyle Dining means you can choose when to dine (within the specified breakfast, lunch and dinner hours).

Do I need to make reservations?

You do not need to make reservations for the main dining rooms or casual venues like O'Sheehan's or the buffet. However, you can make reservations for the main dining rooms if you'd prefer to eat at a specific time and wish to avoid long wait times during the most popular dinner hours.

Sit-down specialty restaurants always require a reservation. The sooner you can make one, the better. You can book specialty dining online via the cruise line's website or app or by calling Norwegian reservations. You can also reserve when you get on board, but you risk that the more popular eateries will already be fully booked, especially during the peak summer and holiday periods. Walk-ins are permitted if space is available, but you'll likely need to show up early or late to snag a table.

Does Norwegian offer room service?

Yes, NCL offers 24-hour room service, but you will be charged a convenience fee of up to $9.95 per delivery, with the exception of morning coffee, continental breakfast and orders placed by guests staying in The Haven. A 20% gratuity and beverage service charge will also be added for noncomplimentary beverages and special occasion items delivered to your room.

How much does specialty dining cost?

It varies by restaurant. At venues with a la carte pricing, such as Cagney's, Ocean Blue, Onda by Scarpetta and Le Bistro, it's easy to rack up a bill of $80 per person, not including beverages. NCL's sushi restaurants are also a la carte, as is Food Republic. Two people with an average appetite can dine at both for around $50 to $60 per person, not including beverages. Other venues, such as Teppanyaki and Moderno Churrascaria, feature a set cover charge of $59 per person.

Does NCL offer specialty dining packages?

Yes and if you like a variety of cuisines and plan to dine at two or more extra-charge restaurants, purchasing a specialty dining package makes sense.

These range in price from $99 per person for a two-meal package to $469 per person for a 14-meal package. The price per meal gets lower the more meals you purchase — from $49.50 per dinner on a two-meal package to $33.50 per dinner for 14 meals. Even the four-meal package at $169 per person is a good deal at $42.25 per dinner, given the a la carte pricing greatly exceeds that (for three courses) at most specialty restaurants and eateries with cover charges are priced at $59 per person.

Also, a select number of specialty dining meals are typically included with NCL's Free at Sea booking promotion .

What about service charges?

A 20% gratuity and specialty service charge will automatically be added to the cost of your specialty dining package when you purchase it or to your onboard dining charge if you pay a la carte or a flat cover charge.
