Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas Cruise Reviews

1 - Boarding for the first time: We have been on well over a dozen cruises over the years. This was, by a long shot, the easiest time we have ever had initially boarding a ship. We walked with our luggage into the pier in Amsterdam, answered a few health (COVID) questions, walked past a carousel where we put down our luggage, and boarded the ship. I would estimate the entire process from the taxi ...

British Isle Cruise out of Amsterdam The Jewel has see it's better days..........it is one tired ship. We sailed on her many years ago when it was in much better condition. The stateroom furniture is showing wear and tear.......the decor is dated and showing age. You couldn't take photos from the inside the windows were so dirty. Evening entertainment is nothing like pre ...

While not bad…not as great as other ships with RCCL. Entertainment was not best. Whoever thinks a juggler, a magician, ventriloquist and cyclist offer much adult entertainment needs to think again. Ship entertainers were not always singing live during shows and the music was much louder than the vocals. The food in the dining room was presented well. Best waiters ever. But food was so so. ...

The idea of taking the cruise was to visit Amsterdam beforehand and cruise along Norway villages were the two countries that we wanted to visit for the longest time. We were disappointed with how old the ship was, everything is outdated. The $32 fee a day for a couple is for room cleaning but the toilet area ALWAYS smells like urine. The service in the Tides restaurant was excellent, though all ...

From the outdated tvs to the bad attitude of staff, we found this ship to be one annoyance to another. The casino seemed like a rip off. I’m not sure I saw one person win anything in that casino. Folks were sitting at tables and just giving there money away. At one point I saw the blackjack dealer hit 6 blacks in a row and didn’t bust for half an hour. Very suspect. Don’t play here. The food ...

My wife and I had a very relaxing cruise across the Atlantic. We were in room 81** (standard balcony cabin), cabin was nice, and had plenty of room or the two of us. Lots of storage areas. We bring a plastic fold up shoe holder to hang over the bathroom door to give much more storage space in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable, shower was not hot enough for me, told our room attendant and ...

We sailed on Jewel of the Seas for the 8 night Southern Caribbean itinerary from Port Canaveral to Aruba, Curacao, and Labadee. There were two sea days in the beginning, a sea day between Curacao and Labadee, and a final sea day before returning to Port Canaveral. Our traveling party were myself and DH (both in the 55+ age group) and a friend in a separate cabin on another deck. We used the app ...

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 ...
