The interior of the ship is reminiscent of much older ships. I used to be a hotel officer with Cunard line in the late 80s / early 90s and it reminded me of those days. The food offerings and service delays wouldn't have happened on my watch! Thanks for sharing.
I’m very surprised at the poor service that you got for your lunch. I don’t blame you for being upset at the long wait for your food. I would be too. However when we were on the Jewel at the end of October 2024 we never had bad service or a bad meal in O’Sheehan’s . We ate there everyday and enjoyed our food, whether it was breakfast, lunch or supper. The chicken wings were excellent. The fish & chips were good . A carrot cake was delicious.. it may have not been the best restaurant on the ship but we found it much better than eating at the buffet. Maybe we were just lucky and you weren’t on your cruise. I still would go back to O’Sheehan’s and eat there again. Better luck next time.
@@malcolmlewis5370 believe me it wasn’t all that bad. Of course things do happen at times that upset people. It even happens at home in local restaurants. Don’t worry you’ll have a good cruise
Completed recent 10 day Iceland/Norway cruise on the NCL Star. Iceland and Norway was amazing. Unfortunately, the time on the ship was not so great. It was very crowded and if you were eating in the buffett it was really hard to find a seat. Dinner in the two main dining rooms you often had a 30-45 minute wait for a table. They gave you a pager. Our toilet would not flush most of the time so we had to use common area bathrooms. I think the NCL Star is old because they came and fixed the toilet everyday. There were overcharges on our bill that had to be worked out I thnk because we did not select the premium drink package like most do (I believe). In fairness, I am not a regular cruiser on NCL so perhaps all of this is the norm now. I have had much better experiences on HAL, Celebrity, and MSC. Think the NCL Freestyle Cruising might be to blame for the dining issues so guess there are pros and cons to that. Its the second not so great experience we have had on NCL so probably stay clear of them for awhile.
Complain, complain, complain.......I was on the Jewel last Oct and had a great time, with great food and service. Of all my cruises, I have yet to have the perfect cruise, cause things can and will go wrong, but to just point out every little petty gripe, and then expect people to watch it, all I can say is good luck with your channel.
@charlesclawson4588 NCL are one of my favorite lines and I've had some fantastic dining experiences. Unfortunately, not this day. I say it as it is. Thanks for watching 🙂

She has a certain charm, but yes, she does look a little dated in places. I wish you were on watch! 😂Thanks for watching 🙂

@@wa1juun1ed Glad to hear you had a better experience. Thanks for watching! 🙂
It’s great to see what we will be experiencing in August 2025. We are to board the Norwegian Princess in London.
Which ship? Norwegian doesn't have a Princess.
@@Addicted2Ships it’s the Norwegian Dawn
@@jjsadventures nice! Enjoy, and thanks for watching! 🙂
@@Addicted2Ships is it a nice ship?
@jjsadventures I've not been on a Dawn Class ship, but she is similar in size to Jewel. I'm sure you'll have a great time! 🙂
Hey hey! New subscriber here.
@@m2seacrew Thanks! I got you back 🙂
There is such a large choice...How can it all be bad!!!
Watch and you'll see how. 🙂

@@Budz4uz Sorry to hear you had some issues. My cruise on the whole was pretty good. I consider the sea day issues a 'blip'. Thanks for watching 🙂
Why would you sit there for an hour?
That's kinda my point.
You need to hold the camera up to your eye level. Holding it down at chest is a VERY bad angle.
Yes, the gimbal broke. Thanks for the feedback and for watching 🙂
Not sure you can do anything about it, but the audio is very low...
yes. I had problems hearing what you were saying.
If you mean at the start, the issue was the blustery wind. It wasn't repairable, unfortunately. Thanks for watching! 🙂
You know they premake food. At 4pm yo vare getting heated lunch that is quite aged. Kitchen is in full swing for dinner. Always eat at peak periods.
It's a 24-hour venue, but my issue was more with the wait for the food than anything else. Thanks for watching 🙂

I also wanted to ask if they permit smoking on the outside decks?
Smoking is in designated areas only.
@@Addicted2Ships ok that’s what I wanted to know. Thank you 🙏
