New Mediterranean cruise ship - first impression
Frommer's Matt Hannafin has written a first impression of the new Norwegian Jewel. This new mega-ship will deploy to the Mediterranean in the spring of 2006.
Matt was wowed by the large computerized "billboard" screens placed outside restaurants and in various public areas. Each displays a listing of every restaurant on board, its status (open/closed), the type of food it serves, how busy it is at that particular moment, how close it is to filling up, and how long a wait there will be if it is filled up.
The Courtyard Villas are big suites with access to a villa-guests-only courtyard, a private sundeck, and a staffed concierge lounge. The courtyard has a private swimming pool, hot tub, and several plush, shaded sunbeds. Suites have a separate bedroom and living/dining room; a huge bathroom with oceanview whirlpool tub and shower; large private balcony; and floor space that ranges from 440 to 572 square feet. The larger Courtyard Penthouses have a separate children's room with fold-out couch bed and second bath. Prices hover in the $4,400 to $5,400 range for weeklong European cruises in summer 2006.
He also likes the big selection of beers in the Maltings bar.
