On the whole and with the exception of suites, Jewel's cabins run on the smaller side of industry average, though they are pleasant and compactly laid out. Inside cabins are 158 square feet. Outside cabins, which come in at 169 square feet, have portholes but are otherwise not at all different from standard balcony staterooms. There are cabins to accommodate disabled passengers in many categories. Family oceanview staterooms also are available. At 319 square feet, they can accommodate up to six people.
Those looking for balconies can choose from the 160-square-foot deluxe with 27-square-foot balcony option or the 184-square-foot superior with 53-square-foot balcony option.
Standard in all cabins are two twin beds that convert to queens, a mini-fridge that's filled with a few sodas and some snacks (for a charge), a television (flat-screens aren't standard in most cabins) with an interesting assortment of channels (including classic flicks and nostalgic sitcoms), a desk/vanity area and a safe. They also include hair dryers and a variety of Vitality amenities, such as a shower dispenser and bar soap. Each balcony stateroom also features a sitting area with a love seat. The balconies themselves are pleasant, with comfortable nylon mesh furniture; two chairs and a table are standard.
Jewel of the Seas has five suite categories. At the smallest end is the 282-square-foot Junior Suite (basically the size of two cabins), which has a 74-foot-balcony. At 382 square feet, Grand Suites have marble bathrooms, dry bars, sound systems and balconies that stretch 110 square feet. Owner's Suites, at 581 square feet and with 188-square-foot balconies, have flat-screen televisions and whirlpool baths. The top-of-the-line Royal Suite has a baby grand piano. It comes in at 1,233 square feet and features a 328-square-foot balcony. Those booking Grand Suites or higher will have personal concierges, luxury bath amenities, bathrobes, 24-hour-a-day room service, dedicated suite attendants, invitations to exclusive cocktail parties, reserved V.I.P. seating in the main theater and priority departure.
The only thing I didnt like about this room is that on the last night there was a lot of noise underneath our room. Like a door opening and shutting with a creak over & over & over. I think the luggage storage was right under us. Very annoying....continue
Room 1536 is a Grand Suite. It is located under the Solarium adult pool so there is some noise from chairs moving across the deck above. In rough seas, there is a heavy metal rattle that sounds like some sort of loose tie rod between 1536 and 1534. Room itself is quite...continue
Smaller closet than most JR Suites, but still a walk in. Very large cabin with nice bathroom. The balcony is HUGE with 2 chaise lounges, a small table and two chairs. The view is amazing....continue
