Jewel of the Seas Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise primarily for the itinerary. We like to get off the ship and explore the various islands. The service from the staff on this cruise was the best I've experienced yet, even though it was only my 4th cruise. Because of the service, atmosphere, food, and itinerary, we will be cruisuing Royal Caribbean next year. If you happen to cruise on this ship, the staff at the Schooner's bar (Ian Sookram & Pietro Leggio) were great. Never had to wait for a re-fill. We spent most of our time relaxing in the Solarium and found the best bartender I've ever had anywhere. Sridevi Bodha from Mauritius was attentive, friendly, always kept her cool when busy (it was always busy), and I never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes for my next drink. I thank all of them for a memorable cruise and look forward to seeing them again in the future.
Cabin Review
Interior Stateroom
We don't spend that much time in our cabin (sleep,bathroom), so we never get a balcony room. The only gripe I would make is that the room attendants did'nt change the sheets daily (I was told this is to save water). Not a huge issue, but I figured I'd note it.
Port Reviews
Barbados
78 degrees with a breeze, umbrella, beach chair, and a bucket of Carib says it all. Most relaxing day of the cruise.
St. George's
Excursion cancelled due to rough seas. We went into town only to be mugged by the humidty and 85 degree temperature. Not of a fan, so we went back to the ship and hung out in the Solarium.
