I have been on the Mariner of the seas before, I loved the food decided to book again months later. The food both on the buffet and restaurant was all days the same, very disappointed, because in the past was not like that, the prices are high now, and the food is worst than COVID times, I dont understand why the change... The cruise is clean and their island is really nice, did a good job ...

We sailed on Jewel of the Seas for the 8 night Southern Caribbean itinerary from Port Canaveral to Aruba, Curacao, and Labadee. There were two sea days in the beginning, a sea day between Curacao and Labadee, and a final sea day before returning to Port Canaveral. Our traveling party were myself and DH (both in the 55+ age group) and a friend in a separate cabin on another deck. We used the app ...

This cruise ticked off more of our county/port destination list. Amber cove was nice and clean. The lazy river pool was relaxing but with 2 ships in port that day got very crowded by midmorning. Everyone seemed to be having fun. Port of LaRomana was interesting. Did the Catalina Beach break. You are bused for about 5-10 minutes over to another port and are ferried to the island. The water ...

I wasn't sure what to expect after not cruising for 4 years and reading some negative reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised and had a wonderful cruise! This was our first time out of Port Canaveral, but the boarding process went smoothly. We had an 10:30 check in time and were on the ship by 11:30. We had to wait a bit because the cruise before us was completely full - just like ours. But ...

We chose the Carnival Magic for the itinerary which included the Southern Caribbean islands of Aruba and Bonaire. It hadn't been an issue on previous cruises, but this cruise was short on entertainment during the day. We could only play so many trivia games before deciding to seek a more port-intensive cruise in the future. Trying to sit by the pool was useless. The passengers were up first ...

Jewel OTS is a Radiance class ship, and the right size (2,500 guests) for our taste. We've sailed on RCI several times, always choosing the mid-size ships, and the Jewel deck plan is one of our favorites. There is access to the bow on several decks for those who like to see where the ship is going. Our cabin was a 4B Spacious Ocean View (9240). Jewel is almost 19 years old and does show wear and ...

The first and last time sailing on Royal Caribbean. *Food: more variety than most cruise lines but inedible, always served cold at the buffet and main dining room worse than a school cafeteria.  The buffet took forever for the tables to be cleared, why not use carts to clear tables rather than removing a few plates at a time. My wife and I only went to the dining room twice on this 9 day ...

Like Royal Caribbean. Jewel was out of Port Canaveral and I like that port. Price was right for Christmas. Problem...........we were advised no Radiance ships have balconies that open to other cabins. We travel with our family and love going between the cabins via the deck. Not happening on this cruise! Now I am leary as to what other ships do not have balconies that open up. Sofa ...

Embarkation went smoothly. I was at the port at 12:30PM and on the ship by 1:00PM. My luggage made it to my stateroom by 2:30PM. The ship was really nicely decorated for the holidays and the crew outstanding. AAA+ As a 60's + solo cruiser I prefer more of a tradition cruise experience and the Jewel fits that well. The Jewel is starting to show her age if you look closely, but overall ...
