Norwegian Jewel offers an extensive choice of cabins. In fact, while Norwegian Jewel is modelled
after Norwegian Star and Norwegian Dawn, NCL has increased the number of cabins from 1,112 on
Norwegian Dawn to 1,188 on Norwegian Jewel, including the addition of 10 penthouse suites sharing a
private courtyard, complete with swimming pool, Jacuzzi and a small gym and sharing a private sundeck with
large, two-person sun-beds and hammocks. Positioned high atop the vessel, these suites are amoungst the most opulent at sea, touting sweeping views of the ocean and an impressive assortment of amenities usually found only at five-star land-based resorts. Norwegian Jewel also features NCL's latest standards in cabins, with rich cherry wood finishing, refrigerators, tea and coffee makers in every room, and a much larger bathroom unit than other ships, containing separate WC, shower, and washstand compartments separated by sliding doors in the outside, balcony and suite cabins. The ship also offers a large number of cabins (including suites and junior-suites) that can interconnect to create a two, three, four or five bedroom area suitable for small or large families. |

Like her sisters, Norwegian Jewel operates Freestyle Cruising, so you can eat where and when you want in
any one of 10 restaurants that include favourites such as Cagney's Steak House, Blue Lagoon and NCL's
signature restaurant, Le Bistro. There is one restaurant open 24 hours (in addition to 24-hour room service)
and no more than three restaurants operating a cover charge at any one time. In addition, Norwegian Jewel also features
Tango's, a contemporary, brightly coloured restaurant to compliment the hot
and spicy Latin/Tapas fare; Tsar's Palace, inspired by the grandeur of the palaces of St.
Petersburg; Azura, a modern and funky main restaurant and Mama's Italian Kitchen, which resembles a cosy village Trattoria. |

Norwegian Jewel also includes a new concept for NCL - a "Bar Central" - featuring a Martini bar, a
champagne and wine bar, and a beer and whisky pub all connected but with three distinct personalities. Shakers Martini and Cocktail Bar is a '60's inspired lounge decorated with silhouettes and artwork reflecting the jet-set dressed for the cocktail hour. Magnum's Champagne and Wine Bar, a French art deco inspired bar, replicates the feel of 1920's Paris and the grand old cruise liner, the Normandie, while the back bar will have a champagne-like bubbling, backlit water display. The third venue in Bar Central is Maltings Beer and Whiskey Pub, a contemporary bar with low
seating and tables along with mood lighting that compliments the backlit artwork themed around whiskey and beer production. IIn addition to Bar Central, Norwegian Jewel features the Sky High Bar, a beer garden designed to resemble a hot air balloon with sandbags, ropes and a rattan front, and "Fyzz" Cabaret Lounge, inspired by all things spherical and out of space, featuring three private Karaoke rooms. |
