the rate and port of calls seemed great. We loved doing a prior Royal Carribbean boat so we decided to do again. We were not prepared for this boat. It was small, lack of entertainment, most entertainment was geared to a certain crowd, boat needs a good cleaning and updating!!!
We also felt like the bathrooms were NOT up to par. The best experience for us was at dinner and at the Ports. Dinner was an excellent dining experience with great food. The ports were great. Touring the different countries really made our day. The one day, however that we had out to see was not satisfying at all. We at and laid on a deck with chairs that were covered in SALT from the sea (took me a minute to figure what it was) Most people we saw just covering the chairs with two towels. We probably will do another Royal Carribean cruise because we have done them before but it WILL NOT BE JEWEL OF THE SEAS!!
We were really disappointed with the glass on the balcony. It was soooo filthy the only way we could see the water is if we stood up. We don't know if it was salt from the water. We became a bit jealous when we got to a port and saw another cruise line vigorously cleaning the balcony glass as if it was a daily maintenance thing. Also The bathrooms let off an awful smell.
