I am interested in booking a cruise on Norwegian Jewel. The NCL website doesn't display properly on my browser (Opera) and the links don't work. I managed to download the brochure but it is compressed and my system can't open it. Nowhere on the website does it give an email address so I can't tell NCL about my problems. They don't seem to do a printed brochure. All I want to do is look at the cabins and find out the prices but I can't!

Having booked a few cruises with NCL try the american site NCL.com because the price may be a lot less or try one of the cruise agencies listed on cruise critic for america. A phone call or e mail to an american cruise company who have very good prices because of their links to NCL .New to cruse critic so do not know whether I can tell you names of sites but they are on cruise critic.

Southampton, England

Southampton is a coastal city located in southern England, about 70 miles southwest of London. The city is a major cruise departure port and one of the country's largest commercial ports. Visitors will find the longest surviving stretch of medieval walls in England and museums such as Tudor House and Garden, the maritime SeaCity Museum and the aviation-focused Solent Sky. Many London tours hit the highlights, from the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace and the Crown Jewels display at the Tower of London, to a cruise along the River Thames and a ride on the world-famous London Eye, a 443-foot Ferris wheel offering bird's-eye views of the capital city. It also is a great starting point for countryside excursions to the mysterious structures at Stonehenge as well as the towns of Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare.

A new map has revealed the most popular cruise destinations in each country – and the Caribbean ’s tropical waters floated to the top of the list for seafaring travellers.

Travel insurance company All Clear compiled the map of over 100 cruise destinations from every continent based on Google search volumes between April 2023 and March 2024.

Though ancient harbours in the Mediterranean and frosty drifts past Antarctica ’s icebergs make for impressive cruise itineraries, island-hopping cruises around the Caribbean were found to be the most popular perspective voyage.

For tourists from Lithuania, Sweden, the UK, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius and much of South America , the Caribbean’s paradise islands topped the cruise route wish list.

With over 2.8 million searches in 11 months, holidaymakers seemed keen to explore palm-studded white sand ports, including Disney ’s Castaway Cay and Royal Caribbean ’s Perfect Day at CocoCa, as part of their next getaway.

Journeys to see the sundrenched Med and marine life in Alaska were the second and third most searched destinations with 2.1 million and 1.8 million searches respectively.

Mediterranean journeys were found to be particularly alluring to Europeans seeking Spain, France and Italy, while Australians and New Zealanders long to discover Antarctica and the idyllic Maldives presented the biggest draw for Asian travellers.

With new multi-port routes making their maiden voyage each cruise season, setting sail on your choice of the seven seas has risen in popularity.

According to research from the insurance provider, 66 per cent of Brits are considering a cruise for their next trip overseas as demand for the all-inclusive holidays on the water spikes.

Letitia Smith, head of communications at AllClear, said: “It’s fascinating to see the number of travellers eager to set sail on unforgettable journeys around the world’s oceans, seas, and rivers.

“From the beautiful islands of Greece to chilly Antarctica, it’s been fantastic to see such a rise in interest in cruising holidays taking place all over the world in recent years.”

I went on my first cruise with 3 generations of my family, and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life

• I recently went on my first cruise with my parents, sister, and grandmother. 
• I'd never been on a cruise before and was surprised that there were things for all of us to enjoy.
• We all had a good time and I'll treasure the memories we made together. 

Until last month, I had never been on a cruise. Neither had my parents or my sister, but my grandmother — my nan — often travels by cruise ship, so we decided to join her on a cruise .

We decided on a trip to the Norwegian fjords, which we all wanted to see, and traveled on the 5,206-capacity Iona — the UK's largest cruise ship until 2022.

It was the first time we'd all gone on vacation as a family of five. My 16-year-old sister, me at 25, my parents — both 50 — and my nan, who is 72 — were there.

The environment took some adjusting

The cruise took us a couple of days to get used to. The idea of being at sea felt almost claustrophobic when compared to the pedestrian-friendly city vacations I'm used to, and my nan didn't adjust to the sheer number of children (and the noise) on board at first, because she's used to going on cruises when children are at school.

But we gradually found a rhythm. My family are early risers, but I don't usually eat breakfast, so I'd wake up with them, have a coffee in bed, and then head to the gym while they went to get food. If we were spending a day in a port, we'd enjoy a few hours exploring, probably getting a coffee or some lunch, before heading back on the ship for the rest of the day.

There were plenty of places on the ship where I could spend some time by myself, too. There was an adults-only area on one of the top decks, so as we were blessed with surprisingly good weather, I'd go up there, order a beer or a cocktail, and read my book in the sun. I also enjoyed spending time in one of the quieter bars on the ship. I bought the WiFi package largely so I could keep in touch with my girlfriend and keep an eye on emails, but it also allowed me to kill some time scrolling social media or checking the soccer news.

It was good to spend more time with my family

I was a little nervous about spending so much time with my family. Apart from a short trip to Madrid with my dad last year, it was the first trip I'd taken with my parents and sister in two years, and the first with my nan since 2015.

It wasn't always easy to go without the space I'm used to — and to go longer than usual without seeing my girlfriend — but the trade-off of seeing more of my family was worth it. The trip was only for a week, and it was good to spend time with both of my parents, as well as my sister, who, at 16, is getting older and looking toward university. I liked spending more time with my nan , too, particularly now that she's in her 70s and is still in good health.

Now that we're back, I find myself missing the trip. While there are aspects of being on a cruise that I don't necessarily love — the bars and restaurants can start to feel a bit samey after a while, for example — there was a lot that I enjoyed.

The places we visited were unforgettable, too. From riding the Skylift in the village of Loen and taking in the picturesque surroundings to visiting the coolest coffee shop in Stavanger, one of Norway's biggest cities, there were some great destinations I probably would never have visited had we not decided to go for the cruise.

I always associated cruises with retired couples and families with young children, but I found plenty to do as someone in their 20s, particularly because I wanted a relaxing vacation. And being able to spend time with my family made it all the more memorable.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Moscow vows to retaliate against US after missile attack on Crimea

The Russian defence ministry has claimed Ukraine used US-provided weapons in a strike on Crimea yesterday that killed at least four people and injured 151 more. Meanwhile, EU accession talks with Ukraine are approaching, in a political blow for Vladimir Putin.

That's all of our live coverage on the conflict for now. 

We'll bring you any major developments overnight, and we'll be back with our regular updates in the morning. 

The US is expected to announce it is sending an additional $150m (£118m) in munitions to Ukraine.

According to a US official, who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity, the package includes anti-armour weapons, small arms, grenades and artillery rounds, among other support.  

The upcoming shipment is also expected to include munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS. 

That system is capable of firing the longer-range missiles from the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, which Russia has said would prompt retaliation and risk escalating the conflict.

The package is expected to be announced tomorrow.

On day 850 of the Ukraine war, we take a closer look at how Ukrainian servicemen in the Donetsk region are taking the fight to Russian troops near by.

The images below show Mykhailo, Ihor and Oleh of the 33rd Separate Mechanised Brigade preparing and loading a self-propelled howitzer before firing towards Russian troops.

The first day of mourning has taken place in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan after attacks that the authorities say killed 20 people.

Gunmen opened fire on two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police post in the attacks in the cities of Makhachkala and Derbent yesterday.

Russia's national anti-terrorist committee described the attacks - in a predominantly Muslim region with a history of armed insurgency - as terrorist acts.

The attack is the deadliest in Russia since March, when gunmen opened fire at a concert in suburban Moscow, killing 145 people.

The affiliate of the Islamic State group in Afghanistan that claimed responsibility for March's raid quickly praised the attack in Dagestan, saying it was conducted by "brothers in the Caucasus who showed that they are still strong".

The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War argued that the Islamic State group's North Caucasus branch, Vilayat Kavkaz, was likely to have been behind the attack, describing it as "complex and co-ordinated".

Russian claims that the US was behind yesterday's strikes in Crimea are "ridiculous" and "hyperbolic", according to a spokesperson for the US state department.

Officials say four people died and around 150 more were injured in the attack as missile debris fell on a beach in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea.

Russia's defence ministry said the missiles used by Ukraine were US-supplied ATACMS missiles, and claimed US specialists programmed them.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow earlier today that the "involvement of the United States, the direct involvement, as a result of which Russian civilians are killed, cannot be without consequences".

During a US state department briefing, spokesperson Matthew Miller was asked about Russia's claims, which he said were unfounded and wrong.

"I don't have any assessment of the underlying attack, including who was responsible for it. But you have seen Russia make ridiculous claims about responsibility in the past," he said.

"You might recall after the terror attack in Moscow in March, they blamed the US despite the US warning them about the attack.

"It's not unusual for Moscow to make ridiculous, hyperbolic claims about responsibility that aren't born out of facts."

Mr Miller had previously been asked about the strikes in Crimea, to which he said the US laments any civilian casualties in the ongoing war.

On providing weapons to Ukraine, Mr Miller added: "We provide weapons to Ukraine so that it can defend its sovereign territory against armed aggression, including in Crimea, which, of course, is part of Ukraine. 

"Russia could stop this war today and end the suffering caused by the war Russia launched if it ended its occupation of sovereign Ukrainian territory and stopped launching attacks on civilians."

We reported earlier on a fire at a former Russian electronics research institute near Moscow that has killed at least eight people.

We've now got video of the scene - with people visible leaning out of windows as smoke engulfs the building.

It is not yet clear what caused the fire to start. 

By Ian King , business presenter

The EU today launched its 14th package of sanctions against Russia - this time targeting Vladimir Putin's liquefied natural gas exports (LNG) for the first time.

The measure is the latest attempt by the bloc to deny Mr Putin's regime of money as his war on Ukraine drags into its 29th month.

No EU bans on Russian gas yet

The sanctions, which will kick in after a nine-month transition period, fall short of an outright ban on Russian LNG shipments.

This partly reflects the fact that EU members are themselves still allowed to buy LNG from Moscow - even though the bloc has set a target of phasing out Russian fossil fuels by 2027.

The EU followed the lead of the United States and the UK in banning Russian oil imports, with one or two limited exceptions, in 2022 after Russia attacked Ukraine.

What latest sanctions do

The key measure in the package, signed off late last week in the face of opposition from Germany and Hungary, is a ban on trans-shipments off EU ports of Russian LNG - essentially preventing the commodity from being sold to third countries via EU ports.

Part of the package also targets specific vessels - including an initial 27 oil tankers - that are used to get around the price cap slapped on Russian oil by the G7 countries.

Read the full story here ...

A video appearing to show a wounded Russian soldier being shot dead by another shows the "brutal culture" of Moscow's armed forces, according to a US-based thinktank.

Footage shared widely on social media over the weekend shows a Russian soldier injured by a drone strike, motioning to another soldier for help.

Instead, the other soldier kills him with a gunshot fired at point-blank range.

He does this instead of attempting to check the soldier's injury, attempting treatment, taking his identification tags or attempting a casualty evacuation, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says.

"The attempted or deliberate killing of a fellow soldier is unprofessional, and ISW has observed instances of Russian fragging (the deliberate killing of supervisors) and other anecdotes demonstrative of a callous disregard for the lives of Russia’s own soldiers throughout the war thus far, both within Russia and amongst Russian troops on the battlefield," it says in its latest assessment.

"Fragging is generally indicative of extremely poor discipline amongst troops, a disconnect between tactical level commanders and their subordinates, as well as a blatant disregard for human life."

Sky News has not verified the authenticity of the video.

A fire at a former Russian electronics research institute near Moscow has killed at least eight people, state news agency TASS reports.

Two people jumped to their death from the top floors of the eight-storey building - in the town of Fryazino - which was engulfed by flames.

Regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said a 34-year-old man was in serious condition in hospital, while two firefighters were also being treated for injuries from the fire. 

More than 100 firefighters are at the scene. Local emergency services said the man was the only person rescued from the blaze.

The building creates components for fighter jets, nuclear launch munitions, air defences and guided munitions. 

Gunmen opened fire on two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a police post in two cities in the Russian region of Dagestan yesterday.

Dagestan's governor, Sergei Melikov, tried to link the attacks with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The US-based Institute for the Study of War has suggested it is likely the work of Islamic State's Northern Caucasus branch, Wilayat Kavkaz, but there is no confirmation of that.

Emergency contact number?

By Tutu cruiser , June 5, 2016 in Norwegian Cruise Line

Tutu cruiser

We are sailing on the Jewle next week to Alaska. We are leaving our three kids with my parents. I know we will have our phones on airplane mode while on the ship. I am wondering if there is a fast way for my parents to reach us in case of an emergency? Thank you!

Here ya go.

Thank you! Do you know if we will be charged for an incoming call to our state room? Or would my parents be charged? I don't see that info...for an emergency the charge would be fine, but now I'm wondering if they could call us on the at "sea days" so we can talk to the kids...

I believe that phone number is an Emergency Contact Number. It is not meant for "Chit Chat" between home and the ship. Check with your cell phone company. I know my daughter was charged 50 cents a text that she either sent or received while on the ship. Actually talking with home is very expensive. Last time I heard it was over $1 a minute. Depending on your ports, sometimes you can get cell service when docked.

For anyone to reach your ship at your stateroom, you need to provide them with your stateroom #, name of ship (and, optionally, your names as registered) and they will be charged on their credit card (last time, I checked the rates - about $8 USD per minute + any taxes/fees ... so keep it sweet, short but you are free to "chit chat" away too :eek:) Very expensive and 8 times more than $1 a minute as that is for a satellite (maritime telephone) calling - land to ship. If no answer, voice mail in the stateroom will take the message & they would be charged upon getting connected on the call.

Sailing on the Jewel, I'm 95% sure it has the newer iConcierge App, which allows for calling land/home/office/pet-sitter, etc. from ship @ much less, our rates on the Breakway 2 weeks ago was 79 cents a minute ... incoming calls to that unique number is still charge (incoming to ship) at $8 USD per minute rate. Outgoing call is "cheaper" using VoIP technology on ship's WiFi inTRAnet, there is no need to pay any other fees, including the $7.95 or $9.95 or $12.95 one time activation chargef for calling/texting others on the ship. Confusing - there's been a number of recent threads & discussions about all these, just search on this forum.

The party making the call is responsible for the charges and the party receiving the call is NOT charged for the calls, generally speaking - confirm by calling your carrier on 611.

If you can wait until you are at a port, your cellular plans might have a better or competitive rate for calling, incoming & outgoing - our mobile network carrier has a cheap rate of only 20 cents, incoming & outgoing in 120+ countries, excluding coverage on cruise ships (where it is "no" service)

Texting is a low-cost option, perhaps 50 cents or 25 cents to send, and often free to 5 cents or 10 cents/25 cents to receive simple text messaging (no graphics or pictures, as that's MMS - using mobile data ...)

Thank you so much, you have been most helpful!
