I just returned from the Jewel and would like to report that our seven day cruise to the Bahamas was fabulous.
Embarkation
My DH dropped my daughter and myself off at the pier at 12:30ish. There was a long line which moved rather quickly considering how many people were all boarding at the same time. (The whole process, from the time we were dropped off till we walked up the gangplank, took around 30 minutes.)
Good Location, not too far from elevators and activities. Good Closet space, would have preferred draws in the night stand instead of shelving.
