My DH and I had our first cruise on Jewel 10 years ago, the year it was launched. Cruised 4 other RCCL, 2 Carnival and an NCL since then. We just returned from the 11/29/14 sailing to South Caribbean. Brought along my 84 yr.old mom on her first cruise. Jewel has maintained its splendor for her age, some areas you can see where they have cut back (exterior balcony and glass washing) have not updated t.v's, but it was not terrible. There were many service maintenance and cleaning crew keeping interior things plenty tidy.

We arrived at Pan Am Pier at 1130 am and was quickly (15 min) on ship in Windjammer eating lunch.

My DH purchased the Select Beverage package $35x8 (per day) $280.00 (beer, wine, soda) online post-cruise, that price included the customary added gratuity, put zero for additional tip, and zero at total and signed the bill. It was never extra money. So 3 daily beers/3 wines at dinner and soda, it paid for itself.

Jewel is due for some updating. Still very clean inside. Happy to sail with her.
