Creator's Key Takeaways

We are on board the NCL Jewel here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the very first time in over 15 years.

It wasn't as bad as it could have been. It could have been way worse.

I'm in a two-bedroom Haven Suite here on board the NCL Jewel uh with a big old bathroom and a big old bed and a big old room.

The port is not complete. As you will see in the video that's going to be coming out tomorrow, Philly Port is not complete yet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Start putting in upgrade bids early for Alaska cruise.
βœ“Bring a lanyard with a sleeve holder for NCL cards.
βœ“Consider the Haven suite for a more private experience.
