We decided to do a back to back on the Jewel of the Seas because she is our favorite ship. She did not disappoint us. She's a beautiful ship that makes you really feel like you are at sea.
We stayed at the Veranda Hotel in Isla Verde the night before and were very pleased with the service.
Our 2 cruises were somewhat different because of the people on board. The first had a lot of Spanish speakers and children. The second was very international with very few children. The ports on the 2nd part of our b2b were, in my opinion, better.
Nice aft balcony. Extremely quiet. Large balcony with 2 loungers, 2 chairs and a table. Nice place to read or nap. Rest of cabin was standard D balcony. Plenty of room for the 2 of us.
