Caribbean Cruise on the Jewel

This trip consisted of two six night cruises back to back. The fist one did Costa Maya, Cozumel and Bimini. The second was the same except Nassau was substituted for Bimini. We had not been to Bimini so this was a treat as we have been to most ports of call in the Caribbean many times. It would be good to go there again and take a taxi into the town rather than going around to the various ...

I would rather get a root canal then travel on this ship ever again or in fact any Royal ship. I felt it was worse than Carnival. Low budget with rude families that thought they were home in the ship's lounges - barefoot! No following the dress of the evening: Formal meant hats, shorts, no collared shirts and sneakers!!! No one said a word to these people from RCL! THIS WAS THE WORSE 6 DAY ...

I booked this trip whilst onboard Jewel OS in November. My hubby was working so this was a solo trip. Lovely cabin 7022 with oversized balcony - decent location. I love this ship and her sisters, perfect size and not popular with kids! The ship was spotless and in excellent shape (obviously six weeks offline were put to good use). I had a good time but there were a few differences than last ...

I have traveled on cruises for 30 years, on med priced and high priced lines. I have been on Oceania, Regent, Crystal, Silver Seas, Celebrity .This past trip was on Royal Caribbean and they need all the help they can come up with. The two biggest issues are food and lack of cruise Director. The quality of food served from fruit to meat makes one question where is quality control. I know ...

I chose this ship because I love Christmas. But There is not Baby Splash Zone....I saw older babies with swim diaper in the pool and men (lifesaver) don't complain about older babies that worn swim diaper. The lifesaver allowed these children in the pool. The salesperson from Royal Caribbean could advice before you take a decision for booking. I suggested you choose some ship that offer Baby ...

Surprisingly Cute Ship and Great Holiday Experience

I thought the Jewel was a very cute ship for a shorter family cruise. It was our first cruise back into post pandemic shutdown. It was the week before Christmas and the ship was beautifully decorated. It was my family's first cruise and the ship was just the right size for them to figure out as newbies. The length of the cruise was just right, not to long or too short for new cruisers as well. We ...

I read a lot of reviews for the Jewel of the Seas before sailing, and on this 8-night Eastern Carribean cruise, the ship mostly met my expectations, with two exceptions. Let's go through the good, the bad, and then the unexpected. Me: 8-night Eastern Carribean cruise; third-time cruiser in my late-20s, on a family vacation. THE GOOD First, the good. As multiple reviews mention, the ...

Really can not talk enough about the staff and crew. They were very friendly and even remembered your name. They made sure you were taken care of. If you needed anything they made sure you got it. Bartenders were friendly and professional and great to talk to. Overall the crew and staff were great. The food was not the greatest. I was really disappointed on the food. We only ate at ...

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 ...
