We recently were able to cruise from Florida to Europe on the beautiful Jewel of the Seas. We are not first time cruise people having been on Holland America, Celebrity and Princess lines and were looking forward to a new line and ship. This is what we found---
Embarkation--This was very easy and stress free and took only about an hour or so from start to finish. This was by far the most easy embarkation we have experienced.
Stateroom--We spend little time in our room and and decided and inside cabin was all that we needed. The room was of similar size to other ships but was set up better--especially the bathroom and did not seem too crowded. A small couch was present so we could sit and relax and a draw curtain could be used to shield the bed from light if one wanted to go to bed while the other stayed up--a nice touch.
