Jewel of the Seas Review

Additional details
Boarded the Jewel on an overcast day, a symbol of things to come. I'm hoping that after it comes out of dry dock it will once again be a shining Jewel. The decor, AND FOOD, really needs updating! We weren't used to such a small cabin space but had plenty of storage space and loved sitting on our balcony. The only thing missing was footstools. Our cabin steward did his job, but nothing extra.There was a black ring around the toilet bowl that remained the whole cruise.
There is no Diamond Lounge - only a Diamond Event held nightly in the Hollywood Lounge on 13. Henry, the bartender, is amazing! After the first night he remembered everyone's drink preferences.
Many children were well mannered but a few ran through the halls. One family almost knocked me over on two separate occasions. When we walked down the hallway to our cabin we had to maneuver around carts and laundry bags.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
Plenty of storage space in cabin. Too few towels when taking several showers a day. And very small bars of soap at sink. The shampoo dispenser is underwhelming. You might benefit from bringing a travel size of your own shampoo. No flat screen tv in our cabin.
Port Reviews
San Juan
San Juan is a vibrant city with a lot to see and do.
Aruba
We went on a private island tour and loved it. We'd never been there before so enjoyed seeing it all.
Curacao
Again, having been to Curacao several times, we chose to walk over the Queen Emma and just walk around. Beautiful place.
