Norwegian Jewel (NCL) - Bridge Viewing Room on Deck 11
Monitors displaying the radar system and ship's controls in the Bridge Viewing Room on deck 11 on board the cruise ship Norwegian Jewel of the cruise company Norwegian Cruise Line.
The Bridge Viewing Room on NCL's Norwegian Jewel is a unique opportunity to give passengers an exclusive insight into the workings of the ship's bridge. Located on deck 11, this room offers a panoramic view of the ship's steering area, allowing passengers to watch as the captain and crew navigate the ship. The room has large windows that provide an unobstructed view of the bridge. However, the view of the bridge through the windows may be blocked by blinds, depending on the situation, so as not to disturb the crew with visitors or blinding lights at night.
In the Bridge Viewing Room there are several monitors showing real-time information from the radar system and the ship's controls. This means that even when the blinds are closed, passengers can still follow what is happening on the bridge and watch the captain and crew at work. Hanging on the walls of the room are gifts that the ship's officers have received from pilot associations and port operators during first calls at ports. These gifts serve as mementos and are often beautifully designed. They also give passengers an insight into the cultural diversity of the regions visited.
The Bridge Viewing Room is a popular port of call for cruise fans and is often visited as part of ship tours.
