Atmosphere and décor of the Jewel
You will find the Jewl’s casino onboard the NCL Jewl to be a sophisticated yet high energy venue with a distinct polish. Everyone eagerly anticipates gaming in the vivid orange and crimson gail so beautifully designed on the carpets. The casino’s design is simultaneously grand yet welcoming, with metal finishes and deep golden wood accents.
The gleaming graphics on the digital slots bring the sounds of active gaming to life, which is heightened by the warm golden lights illuminating the intense classic tabletop games. The clash of chips, cheers signaling winning, and the noise of the slots is music to the ears. All of these sounds come together to fill the room with warmth and hope.
