As this was not my first Royal Caribbean cruise I knew I was in for a treat. . .the food was great every day; breakfast, lunch and dinner; always a variety as well. They cater to all Nationalities; which I applaud. Never saw one unhappy customer whild dining. And the wait staff was great. We chose this particular cruise because of the number of ports and the chosen ports. The other Cruise Lines we looked into did not cover Santorini, Mykonos, Athens AND Olympis. These are the highlights of Greece....how can you not include them all and say you cruised the "Greek Isles." The Shore Excursions offered were great as well and for the most part the pricing wasnt too bad. The Hop On, Hop Off tour in Athens is perfect if you're on a budget and/or dont wanna deal with being stuck with a slow, large group trying to retain information you are really not interested in. Try to make every minute count as time slips away quickly.
Be sure to choose your cabin carefully if you're sailing on Jewel of the Seas as our balcony cabin left much to be desired.
Sadly, on Jewels of the Sea, our cabin left much to desire. I felt we did not get our monies worth. Too many things were broken and the cabin was outdated as well. We paid for what was comparable to a Suite and ended up in a Hostel.
