Very nice condition, well maintained.  Quiet and good HVAC.  Good bed.

Minor complaint - the outdoor balcony chairs don't have reclining backrests, not usable for lounging, something I like to do rather than go to public area.

Beautiful location and crystal clear ocean.
Some group members had difficulty with the steep rocky climbs.

Rented a street legal golf cart from Bonaire Cruisers...great fun...very nice carts (Yamaha PTV).   Cruised the whole island and stopped for lunch at Foodies in the interior of the island.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

90 minute spin around downtown.  Nothing exceptional but ok.

Walking tour with guide, ok but nothing special.
Guide was a college student, he was doing it for the money but not very motivated.

In summary, a good cruise experience but not up to what we've had with Princess recently, IMHO RC comes up short in the value department currently.Staff numbers reduced, they work hard and have good attitudes but you can see they are stretched.

Jewel of the Seas Review

Nice ship and itinerary, too much cost cutting on staff and meals.
