The first trip for us on the Jewel- and what an adventure! The ship lived up to the hype. She was beautiful and thoughtfully cared for. We loved the design and trim and colors. Our cabin was just right for the type of cruise- a balcony cabin for our personal time with the sunsets and ocean.
The ports were amazing, especially Aruba and St. Kitts. We stayed from daylight until 11 p.m. at Aruba, giving us time to enjoy the tours, the beaches, and the nightlife.
Onboard we were treated as usual by the RCI staff: pampered. The food was good, and as always, if we wanted an alternative to the menu, the wait staff and galley made it happen with ease. We enjoyed two wonderful specialty dinners at Portofinos- you must try the canoli!
Comfortable cabin, great steward, and a wonderful balcony to enjoy sunsets and ocean views, especially when entering and leaving ports.
