All in all, the cruise was a great experience. This is my 4th cruise, 2nd on Royal Caribbean. Our itinerary was San Juan-Barbados-St Lucia-St Johns-St Maartan-St Croix-San Juan.

Check-in: The check-in and boarding process was very easy, especially since we arrived dockside a little early.

The ship: I really don’t have much to say about the Jewel of the Seas. The ship is older, due for a retrofit in April, so I can look past the age of the boat. It basically is what it is, and I can look past that knowing that. The crew appeared to do what it could to keep up on the maintenance issues, which kept them fairly busy.

St. John (U.S.V.I.)

4 wheel drive to waterfall. It was okay, got to see some of the island

St. Croix

Ocean going kayak adventure was NOT an adventure. Boring at best. In retrospect, would rather have saved the money to buy our own kayaks
