The
Norwegian Jewel will be repositioned to Houston later this year where it will sail the Western Caribbean. Cheyenne Teters, one of our new
advisors & scuba expert, recently took a cruise on the Norwegian Jewel out of New Orleans to get a preview of what this ship &it's itineraries will be like when it moves to Texas. She
visited some amazing Caribbean islands where she got to dive the incredible reefs
all the while enjoying the delicious food aboard the ship.
Cheyenne
began her trip with a stay at the beautiful Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, a Virtuoso property. The
friendly staff and exceptional service made the stay just perfect. Arriving a
day early she was able to tour the French quarter, indulge in some delicious
beignets and eat dinner at Emeril Lagasse’s famous NOLA
restaurant. We highly recommend arriving to your embarkation port a night or
two early. This avoids any chance of a flight delay causing you to miss your
ships departure.
The next
morning Cheyenne boarded the Norwegian Jewel and sailed off into the Caribbean.
Their first stop was Cozumel where she went diving with Rance of Deep Exposure. The reef was about an hour away by boat but was worth the ride as the
water was a perfect blue and the underwater life was bountiful.
Cheyenne’s
second stop was Belize which she said was by far her favorite place because of
the beautiful beaches and remarkable scuba diving. She dived with Eli and
Jamani of Seasports Belize and said it was one of her favorite dives mostly
because the majority of people on her trip were also from the Dallas Fort Worth
area.
In Roatan, Honduras
Cheyenne took a cab 20 minutes west to a very safe and beautiful part of the
island. She went scuba diving again, but had a different experience than the
other days: unfortunately on this scuba trip she came into contact with jelly
fish cutting her excursion short but afterwards she got to enjoy an appetizing
lunch of local cuisine.
The last
stop of the Norwegian cruise was to Costa Maya. There Cheyenne joined the
crowds at a nearby beach. She does not recommend this as there were hordes of
vendors soliciting on the beach. If you take a cruise to Costa Maya Cheyenne
recommends you do an excursion like ATV rides or spend the day relaxing at the
spa.
When Cheyenne
was onboard the Jewel she enjoyed relaxing by the pool or eating at the
delicious Teppanki Grill (a great dinner spot). She loved Norwegian’s nightly
entertainment and parties including the Norwegian Jewels very own take on Cirque
du Soleil called Cirque du Bijou. Throughout her stay onboard the Jewel the
“Washy-washy” men were singing their clean songs and handing out anti-bacterial
gel to keep the guests a clean and healthy
during their trip. On the day you disembark Cheyenne recommended doing
the Past Present and Future tour if you have time before your flight. This tour
shows you the highlights of New Orleans and then drops you off at the airport.
