This was my very first cruise, so all I knew about cruises was what I read or heard from friends & family. The cruise was more than I ever expected it to be in a very good way. We started in Tampa, went to Georgetown, Grand Caymen island, the onto Cozumel Mexico......
The service was wonderful. First off we saw on the Tampa news that our ship may be late into Tampa port as the fog was quite heavy. We called Royal Carribean & they stated everything was a go & on time. We made our way to tampa to the parking lot to safely park our vehicle for the 6 days. That went very smoothly, there was a van waiting to take us to the Tampa port just 5 minutes away, we went through security & stood in line for less than 3 minutes & got our boarding pass etc.
We then sat in the waiting area as this was around 11:00a.m. & by noon we were eating lunch on board the Jewel & the food was unreal. There was such a variety & everything I tried was great & beyond my expectation.
Stateroom 8614. Fairly small, very quiet, beautiful balcony, great view, fair closet space, nice mirrors, small bathroom & shower, clean, but over all was fine for amount of time spent in the room. Fine for two people.
