We took this seven day cruise to Port Douglas and return because it fitted in neatly with our holiday dates in Queensland and to get away from the cold weather in Victoria.
I had read many reviews on these pages and must admit I was expecting the worst.
The shock was that we had a great seven days. We have been used to Royal Caribbean and Princess and P and O round the world cruises and knew that the Jewel was not five star. But no complaints. Food in the Waterfront was fine, good selection and the waiters were great. Never had any trouble getting a table in the Plantation for breakfast and lunch and no complints there for the selection.
