Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas cruise review
Nov 21-26, 2011 Tampa to Cozumel to Costa Maya to Tampa
Twelve of us sailed on the Jewel over Thanksgiving to celebrate my parents' 50th anniversary. Those sailing were my parents, me, my brother and his family (wife, 12 year old boy, 8 year old girl), and my sister and her family (husband, 15 and 13 year old boys and almost 10 year old girl). I was in cabin 7138. Mom and Dad were next to me in 7140. My brother and family were down the hall in 7126. We were all on the port side. My sister and her husband were in 7650 and their kids were in 7648 on the starboard side. All were category E3 balcony deluxe staterooms. Some (like 7126) had the pull-down bed.
Cabin 7138 - E3 deluxe oceanview balcony stateroom - partway down the hallway, pretty quiet; nice sized closet, plenty of hangers; balcony furniture covered in flecks of white paint, so not appealing, nor comfortable either; bed in cabin was extremely comfortable; lighting in cabin a bit dim overall; very comfortable chair at vanity, with well lighted mirror; safe worked well; lots of room to store things; bathroom well laid out; door to the bathroom a little narrow;
