on
April 19, 2024

Now that I have cruised on Carnival, Norwegian, and Princess, I can do a comparison of the three.

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

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…

Here is today’s schedule of events.

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

They have…

Alaska Jewel: Tracy Arm Fjord

on
January 5, 2024

Good morning from Tracy Arm Fjord! It’s a beautiful day. Today is actually Juneau day and I don’t remember Tracy Arm being on our schedule. I think the Captain is trying to make up for the ship being unable to get close to Hubbard Glacier the other day. Fortunately…

Good Evening! I just got off of the 1pm train from Anchorage and boarded Norwegian Jewel at 6pm in Seward, Alaska on my first NCL cruise. We boarded conveniently by the elevators and I headed up to my room.

There is no lack of mirrors in this room. There is…

Alaska Jewel: Embarkation

December 11, 2023

I just arrived at the cruise port in Seward on the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage. We are about to enter the terminal. I was off of the train at 5:52pm.

Even though I’m boarding late today this should be a little different than when I boarded late in Barcelona. In…
