May 23, 2011 Jewel of the Seas - Baltic/Russia Cruise
Why do people from the US choose this cruise? Itinerary! Let's just start out and say that this was an amazing cruise. Any concerns or issues discussed here are very minor to me. I hope it helps the readers of this review though.
Day One - I definitely recommend flying in a day early for any foreign sea cruise. There is nothing like having that one day to catch up on your sleep. I is also much more relaxing and stress free knowing you are already at the location of the ship.
Standard Balcony room, but with a very large Aft view balcony. It is near the center. There seemed to be less vibration and movement that I have experienced on other Aft balcony ships. Lots of storage.
