1-10 of 753 Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas Balcony Cabin Cruise Reviews
Jewel OTS is a Radiance class ship, and the right size (2,500 guests) for our taste. We've sailed on RCI several times, always choosing the mid-size ships, and the Jewel deck plan is one of our favorites. There is access to the bow on several decks for those who like to see where the ship is going. Our cabin was a 4B Spacious Ocean View (9240). Jewel is almost 19 years old and does show wear and ...
Like Royal Caribbean. Jewel was out of Port Canaveral and I like that port.
Price was right for Christmas.
Problem...........we were advised no Radiance ships have balconies that open to other cabins.
We travel with our family and love going between the cabins via the deck. Not happening on this cruise!
Now I am leary as to what other ships do not have balconies that open up.
Sofa ...
We have cruised Royal Caribbean for many years and have sailed sister ships of the Jewel of the Seas. This was the absolute worst cruise we have ever been on.
The main dining room food was horrendous and extremely slow. The Windjammer provided much better food. Giovanni’s was anything but a “Specialty”.
The ship is very dated and in desperate need of a refresh. Our cabin was 7550. The ...
We did consecutive cruises for a total of nineteen nights on Jewel. Terrific Itinerary with nine different islands in the Med included. As others have stated, Jewel of the Seas is tired, mostly showing in our balcony stateroom. Chipped paint in the bathroom. Rust on the balcony. Drawers and cabinets literally falling apart. The mattress was hard, the pillows awful, and the sheets were ...
Positives:
The balcony stateroom we had on deck 10 was comfortable, lots of clothes hanging space and hangers.
Asked for dressing gowns and they were provided for us without hesitation.
Excellent quality food at all meal times - in Tides restaurant and Windjammer - with so much variety.
Could bring 2 x bottles of wine onboard on embarkation day (but note not at any port stops during ...
Our Arctic Circle cruise was wonderful. We loved every minute of it. First, the ship itself is lovely. We're two older adults who enjoy fine dining, art and leisurely travel- so we had a perfect vacation. The waiters and stewards and everyone on the shop was just as kind as could be. The food- we had the Ultimate Meal Plan- was perfection. We ate in Chops almost every night. We tried ...
This was my 4th Royal Caribbean Cruise but, my first with kids. I have only cruised with Royal Caribbean and have sailed on the Sovereign of the Seas (Sovereign Class Retired), Enchantment (Vision Class), and now the Jewel of the Seas (Radiance-class).
The Jewel is a Radiance-class cruise ship and holds about 2500 passengers. This was my first cruise since 2015. We traveled to Miami to board ...
Embarkation was easy, once you checked in on the app getting through the terminal was a breeze. Once onboard you went to your mustard station to check in, and that was quick and painless. The ship is smaller and does lack all the bells and whistles of the newer ships but those who still like the small ship feel this class is still great. The only issue was very slow service at bars and in the ...
Jewel of the Seas had such low rates we decided to work it in between our other Royal Caribbean cruises and were so glad we did! The ship was in excellent space, carpets, furnishings had a new feel to them. Service was outstanding, even the maintenance workers who do not come in contact that often with passengers were awesome and friendly. The ship had a very happy feel to it. The evening ...
I reside in South Florida with my wife and almost 5-year-old son, who has Asperger's. We recently returned from a Thanksgiving cruise on the Jewel of the Seas. We generally cruise about 1-2 times a year. Our last cruise was an 8-night cruise to the ABC islands on the Adventure of the Seas in December 2019.
I booked this cruise in December 2019 after Royal Caribbean announced that they were ...
