Surely this would mean a massive reduction in passenger numbers as not only is the 733 much smaller than a 757 it will be load restricted on some of the longer routes too, possibly as many as 100 less seats per flight available if the last 6 rows are dropped?
As for TCX321s they are obviously newer but that doesn't necessarily meaner nicer, and as I haven't been on one I can't comment on noise levels etc. but the LS cabins are nice enough so most passengers will be happy enough with their lot I suspect, and lets face it for a good number of pax price is the only thing that leads them to choose their airline.

Christ kids, calm down.
NCL will get two 737-800's and a 737-300 in replacement for two 757's - so no, there won't be any reduction in seats there will be an increase. The 737-300's will be used on routes such as ALC/PMI etc and the 737-800's more on the Tenerife and Turkey etc flights.
I've never heard such a load of rubbish about a more "luxurious product" the 737-300, 737-800 and 757 have identical cabins, the only difference is that the 757's don't have the newer style 737-800 lockers that have been fitted to the 737-300's. If anything, the product offering on Jet2 could actually be defined as more luxurious now, and the 737-800s are much quieter than the 733's or 757's and as Thomas Cook's fleet is a total mismatch and total luck of the draw if you get a horrendously crammed in 757 with massive bulky old seats or a new Airbus that has marginally more room.

But why? The 733 is the same fuselage cross-section as the 757

Jet 2 to start long haul ops summer 2015!!
757's to be re configured to first and normal class.
Flights to operated to the following
NEW YORK (EWR)
SFB
CUN
That's my guess what do you think
They have been unable to get 767's so more 738's to replace the 757's

I suspect that even the early overweight pre production aircraft will be well out of what Jet2 are willing/able to pay.
Low cost long haul is still in its infancy a few New York flights at peak travel periods isn't long haul
Jet2 would IMHO be taking a huge repetitional risk in trying to do serious long haul with 27 year old 757's a great aircraft for sure, but high risk at that age

Google has been less than friendly on this particular issue thank you. Information gleaned appears to be at odds with our apparent learn-ed friend, hence my enquiry. The time it took you to post that would have been better served trying to confirm the question.
Ill ask again, who can post definitive data that cabin wall width and specifically floor height on the 757 vs 737 is different ....

I cannot quote the floor height relative to the widest part of the cabin as the specification does not quote this.
Edit:
Cabin height B737-800 - 2.2m
Cabin height B757-200 - 2.13m

Edited to add: I see TSR2 has the figures already, many thanks; will still hunt out the spec sheet out of sheer curiosity.

The time it would take me to post all the relevant information gleaned from that particular search would be excessive.
Then there's the search for '757 cabin width', as another example, again resulting in many, many results all of which would tell you, strangely, what the 757 cabin width, for example, is.
You can then compare those results to your initial search of '737 cabin width', for example, and see that they're exactly the same.
