NCL's new ship Norwegian Jewel will make its debut in August 2005. She is a sister ship of the Dawn and Star. Anybody have any information on this ship?

Does anyone know if NCL will be sailing any 2/3/4 night shakedown trips before the Med Maiden on 10 Aug? I would like to sail her, but neither the Med nor Baltic itineraries appeal to the rest of the family

For just a few nights it wouldn't matter where she went.

Have you still kept a weekly 'grab' Globaliser, of her construction?

Thanks for all the above. I look forward to watching her weekly progress.
I see she will be doing four 11 day New England/Canada cruises round-trip out of New York in the fall of 2005. She then will alternate between winter Caribbean cruises out of Miami and summer Alaska cruises out of Vancouver. Which raises the question if she will be returning again to New York for fall New England/Canada cruise in subsequent years? NCL has no information on her itinerary beyond spring 2006?

I believe the Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Star are sister ships and the Norwegian Jewel is the third ship in that series but with additional cabins.

The public room layouts and arrangments will be improved and the nice tiered sun deck midship will not be seen. And the spa has been moved to above the bridge from the stern.

Cruiseshipluver, I meant this:

Its on the NORWEGIAN DAWN taken by Pam.

Here is the NORWEGIAN JEWEL's deck plans. Lido deck is on deck 12. If you look at deck 13 also, it clearly shows the tiered landing/sun decks are gone.

I bet she will. Probably mainly for TA's, but they do often sell spare cabin sthese days for such events.

'Pride of Aloha' will be well worth a visit, when she arrives here, if the powers at be allow it?

Yes, I've got my 'Prides' confused. I mean that 'Pride of America' will be visiting the UK. No cruises, just a promotional visit. Sorry for the confusion.

I do not know the port or date, buy probably Dover or Southampton.

What are the dimmensions of the building in which this ship is being built?

It must be as large or larger than NASA's VAB at Canaveral, which was reportedly, to have been the world's largest structure.

Can someone post an exterior view?
