Jewel of the Seas Review

Additional details
The ship was beautiful, well kept up and very clean. Lots of windows to bring the outdoors inside.
We stayed in an inside cabin (#8627) which was surprisingly roomy for a family of 3.
Dinner at the main dinning room was amazing and the wait staff was outstanding. The Windjammer buffet was a bit disappointing. The quality of the food just wasn't there and the options/selections were pretty poor.

Port Reviews
Rome (Civitavecchia)
We stayed in Rome for a few days prior to our cruise. This wasn't really a excursion, but a transfer from Rome to the port of Civitavecchia. We had a private transfer for our family of 3 with http://www.romecabsbooking.com. The total was 129 Euros and I highly recommend them.
Taormina (Messina)
We had a 2 hours walking tour of Messina with Discover Messina. It was a nice and affordable way to explore the city. The price was only $17 per person. Our guide picked us up right outside the gate. We got lucky and had a very small group, our family of 3 and another couple. This was a very enjoyable tour.
