Sail Date: Jun 2015

Pacific Jewel was in dry dock in Singapore and had Pantry put in place of the Plantations, replaced astro turf on top decks, Pandora store installed, unsure of what else.

This was our 3rd trip on the Jewel, last trip few months previous and was happy with the food and entertainment etc back then.

Main change was the Pantry - It looks nice ( apparently lost over 100 seats with fitting from Plantations setup ). So now you don't get in one long line you go to separate outlets for different food ( much like the Carnival Spirit and Legend ), so only smaller lines. And you don't get to pick your food it is put on a plate for you, so lots of talking about a bit of this more of that etc. Overall the food was reasonable but seems to be much the same each day and same at lunch and dinner, food has little flavouring and very bland. There is no ice cream available, no prawns or pork or steaks as was previously in plantations.
