We just returned from the Jewel of the Seas Repositioning cruise from Boston to the Southern Caribbean. We had a SUPER time. The ship is absolutely beautiful with tons of glass and rich woodwork.
Embarkation--
A note to all future RCCL passengers, be sure to fill out your boarding documents on the cruise line web site prior to checking in. This feature saves and incredible amount of time. This was our first cruise from the Black Falcon Pier in Boston. Our only complaint with the pier is the lack of organization and signs outside the terminal. We were extremely lucky that the JOS was the only ship at the pier that day or it would have been even more chaotic. Once inside the terminal, the entire process from check in to first Pina Colada on board took less than 15 minutes. Upon boarding, the Windjammer Cafe was serving lunch. We were able to check into our cabin right away. The muster drill was at 4:30 pm. Our sail away was on time at 5pm and included a beautiful sunset over the Boston skyline.
