Embarkation was quick and easy, we were on-board by 11:45 am. 1st stop was Portofino's to make reservations for Valtines Day dinner then off to explore the beautiful Jewel, and beautiful and elegant she was.
Off to checkout the Solarium and try a Royal beer, WOW - 7.5% alcohol and a great taste! Next, to the Windjammer for lunch, excellent. We sat outside in the Aft, right above our rooms, 1102 & 1104. Went to our rooms and our bags were there, unpacked and then off to the muster drill then upto the top deck for the sail away and a drink.
Food was good, not great and basically the same RCI fare we had two years ago on the NOS. Chops and Portofino's were excellent and I highly recommend both.
