Great report so far! Those drinks really add up if you don't have a drink package.
They offer them to you everywhere, along with wine at dinner, and on our last 10 day cruise Sharon and my bar bill was $3,300.00 Yikes!
Welcome Back
Interested in what you thought of the ship itself since i will be on the Jewel xmas week.
It is a beautiful part of the world. Everyone should go at least once. I hope you decide to go.
Yikes is right!!! I thought we had alcohol poisoning when we got back. I don't think there is any way we could consume $3300 worth of drinks even on a 10 day cruise. You are in a league of your own. There is no way I could keep up with you.
I really liked the ship. We had been on the NCL Dawn this past December and overall I think we liked the Jewel a little bit more. Most of the bars and entertainment options are on either the 6th or 7th deck and then the pool and the remainder of the bars and restaurants are on the 12th deck so it's easy to find your way around. We really enjoyed a place called the Great Outdoors which is on the back side of the buffet. Even as cool as it was in Alaska we were able to check it out a couple of times. If we were taking a warm weather cruise we would definitely eat breakfast there every morning.
We have gambled probably a grand total of an hour during our last 2 cruises. There is just so many other things to do. I saw quite a few people gambling there especially during the first part of the cruise and they had a decent variety of machines. We didn't want our gambling to get in the way of our drinking.
I applaud all you guys that can drink like that. I would be in a coma, lol. Looks like you had a great time with friends. Can't wait to read the rest.
On a 10 day cruise that's $330 a day or about $165 each. At current rates that would give you each about 15 to 20 drinks per day. You cannot get bottled wine on the UDP only wine by the glass. Allowing for time to sleep and time at each port 15 to 20 drinks per person per day for 10 days is some pretty serious drinking. I could probably hang with you for maybe one day and that would be about it. On a positive note that much alcohol in your system would probably kill and prevent any viruses from getting in your system that might be running rampant on the ship.
Hell James @goldengreeke will spill that many in a day. hhh
