NCL Jewel or MSC Lirica

nlb1050 · May 13, 2006

We are down to either a 7N on NCL Jewel or 11N on MSC Lirica and can't decide. Both have some ports we have not been to and cost wise when per day almost the same.

We understand the differences and the dressing codes, so no problem there.

Has anyone here sailed on both or either and can help?

A bit of background: we're mid 50's, very laid back, generaly don't drink much on a cruise (mostly soda), have only sailed on Princess so far.

Hi again nlb1050 ! Nice to see you posting .. I personally have not sailed either, however i do know tahte a few of our members have .. so be patient and the responses will roll in.

What did you like and dislike about Princess?

nlb1050 · May 13, 2006

Can't say we really dislike anything about Princess. We do really like the anytime dining, never had what would be called bad tablemates. The entertainment has been good. Only really saw one comic that I didn't care for.

We just felt it may be time to try something else and really like the ports for both cruises we are looking at.

WE were on Norwegian jewel last Sept. We have sailed, Carnival,. RCCL, Cunard (another Cunard booked Sept 24/06) Holland America and Norwegian. We loved the Norwegian Jewel. It was two months old when we were on it. It held 2400 passengers . The cabins were nicely decorated, the food was good. I could go on and on. We felt it was wonderful value for the money.

If you have any direct questions concerning it, i would be glad to answer them.
