We chose this Thanksgiving cruise because it was a renovated ship and had a port every day. There was a good mix of traditional beach & shopping ports (St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Barbados) and newer exotic ports (Grenada, Dominica). We were in port from 8:00-5:00 every day so we were able to sleep in on some days, get a full day in port on other days, and always make it back to the ship to sit down ...
Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas Nov 5-17 2018 Rome to San Juan.
This was our first time on RC and was not disappointed at the ship and staff. This is the best room we have had on any ship and the crew was above average. This reminded me of my first cruise many years ago when the crew was happy and new your name. The Captain was a hoot, and would come on each day announcements with a ...
Instead of flying from Rome to Canada, chose to do a TA with some interesting places and some heat, we then switched to the Celebrity Summit to do a one week southern Caribbean. Despite disappointment with the Jewel itinerary changes,we had a great time.
Embarkation and disembarkation were easy.
Ship was old, mid-size, but had more offerings and character than some larger ships. Inside ...
This was our second cruise with RCL. We chose the Jewel of the Seas because of the ports of call and it fitted best in our holiday planning. The embarkation and and disembarkation went very smoothly! It was impressive. We landed in San Juan at 10:30 and were on board eating lunch at 12. In Cicitavecchia/Rome our meeting time for disembarkation was 7:15 and we were at the airport at 08:50.

As a New Diamond Member with Royal Caribbean and have done more then 42 Cruises with various companies. We are proud and pleased with the Enterainment on the Jewel of the seas. The " Fly On" acts i think were a lot more presentable and distinguished then the Ships production shows themselves. The Singers and dancers were probably the weakest then most ships.
However the ship was BUSY! with tons ...
Transatlantic cruises are our favorite! We choose this cruise because date worked. Turns out it was one of our best cruises (30+ cruises).
We flew to San Juan late on Saturday & stayed at airport hotel (very convenient), took taxi ($19 plus tip) and arrived at port around 11am. The port was chaos and porters rude. Demanded tip before they would take bag (this was only negative of our ...
RCCL offered a very attractive price for this cruise, and we were looking for a smaller ship (i.e., less than 3,000). The Jewel is not new, but it has been kept up well and the public rooms are all very nice and comfortable. The service was outstanding, starting with a very visible and friendly captain from Canada. Everything operated very efficiently and, if something was to our dissatisfaction, ...
This was my 26th cruise, 4th TA, and first cruise with RC. We departed from Puerto Rico without incident, boarding and checking in was a breeze.
The Jewel is one Royals older ships but still has allot of life in her. Some of the public rooms seemed a bit dated and worn. The dining room is a classic beauty.
We mostly dined in the main dining room and buffet. Our waiters in the Main ...
This was our first cruise and people recommended RCI. We chose the Jewel of the Seas because of the ports of call. The embarkation and and disembarkation went so smoothly! It was impressive. We landed in San Juan at 1:30 and were on board eating lunch at 3. On the way back our meeting time for disembarkation was 8:30 and we were at the airport at 9:10. There were so many activities on board and it ...
We chose to sail of Jewel of the Seas as we decide to visit the southern Caribbean countries. The cruise ports of calls were the ones we expected to visit.. We had an enjoyable cruise which was really awesome. . We were amazed by the high quality of service of the staff members. They were all very cooperative and enthusiastic towards customers from the very first day of the embarkation. They ...
