This is Geiranger Norway and my husband, myself and My Mom. 
If you can ever get to the Fjords in Norway please do. You won't regret it. 

Norway is the cleanest place I have ever been. Pristine!  It is also the most gorgeous. The fjords are so amazing and the colour is so brilliant. Flam and Olden along with Geiranger were the top three stops.

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Jewel of the Seas

We did consecutive cruises for a total of nineteen nights on Jewel. Terrific Itinerary with nine different islands in the Med included. As others have stated, Jewel of the Seas is tired, mostly showing in our balcony stateroom. Chipped paint in the bathroom. Rust on the balcony. Drawers and cabinets literally falling apart. The mattress was hard, the pillows awful, and the sheets were ...

This was our 7th overall Cruise (3rd with Royal) and I will say personally - we enjoyed this Cruise as our best overall. My wife and I celebrated a significant wedding anniversary and our thoughts/ratings were consistently similar. I waited one week so I could absorb and let saturate all of our experiences. First - the condition of the ship we both thought was Excellent. Our cabin (we ...

Positives: The balcony stateroom we had on deck 10 was comfortable, lots of clothes hanging space and hangers. Asked for dressing gowns and they were provided for us without hesitation. Excellent quality food at all meal times - in Tides restaurant and Windjammer - with so much variety. Could bring 2 x bottles of wine onboard on embarkation day (but note not at any port stops during ...

This was our first ever cruise & we chose Royal Carribean due to their reputation. Unfortunately the reality did not live up to the expectation. The boarding at Barcelona was smooth enough and we were walking onto the ship within 45 minutes after our check in time but events soon took a turn for the worse. We were informed our luggage would be delivered to our stateroom but after 2hrs on the ...

The Jewel is a pretty ship, especially the atrium and the glass elevators. Refurbished in 2017, it is still in good condition. Our cabin, 1540 was a junior suite. It was roomy and comfortable, with a couch and a club chair and ottoman and a balcony with two lounge chairs and two chairs and a table. There was a walk in closet and so much shelf space and so many drawers several remained empty ...

This cruise was awesome! We ended our vacation at houseboat Tante Piet in Amsterdam for three nights. Great location and our host was fabulous! Nice to stay with the local folks. Disembarkation and Embarkation were a breeze! The ship is in need of a refurb but but otherwise in good shape. Beds are so so comfy. The crew were all fantastic as usual! Entertainment was good, what ...

Our Arctic Circle cruise was wonderful. We loved every minute of it. First, the ship itself is lovely. We're two older adults who enjoy fine dining, art and leisurely travel- so we had a perfect vacation. The waiters and stewards and everyone on the shop was just as kind as could be. The food- we had the Ultimate Meal Plan- was perfection. We ate in Chops almost every night. We tried ...

At first I had a cruise booked on the Rhapsody of the Seas from Venice to Barcelona which got postponed, and then cancelled. I then wanted to do the Harmony but I was lead to believe Italy did not want UK residents due to high Covid levels, so eventually settled for the Jewel out of Cyprus. So we travelled by train from Nottingham to London and then on to Gatwick the day before and stayed at ...

Our first cruise ever. Picked this because of the cost and route. Once on board, the ship is beautiful. Spotlessly clean. The service and staff are so friendly. The standard staterooms are slightly small. The balcony was good. We were on the 8.30pm meal time and you get your table for the whole cruise. This is nice as you get the same staff looking after you for each meal. The meals are so good. ...
