Not what we expected from RCCL

This was our first cruise aboard an RCCL ship yet is our ninth cruise overall. In the past, when planning our cruises, we always took cost as a major decision in planning our vacation. For instance, if another cruise line was offering a cruise from the same port with the same itenarery, yet the other line was $200 less than RCCL, we chose the lesser priced cruise line. Although, for many years we ...

Let me start this off my saying this was my first ever cruise, and I'm really glad I didn't let it turn me off to cruising forever. My best friend invited me to go on a cruise with his family, and I said yes, considering I'd get to leave the country (it went to Cozumel) and go on a cruise for the first time! My best friend and I were both 18 at the time of sailing. Boarding at Tampa was fine. I'm ...

My wife and I sailed on Jewel from 5/6-11 with our 1 year-old daughter. Ship & cabin were terrific; not too crowded at the pool on cruising days; nice mix of people - most were a bit older than us, but that's probably to be expected given the time of year. Food was good all around. Windjammer cafe had a nice variety for breakfast & lunch, and unlike some other cruises we've been on there didn't ...

I went on the Jewel of the Seas in 2013 and it was my first cruise. It left a profound memory in my mind. So what did I think of the Jewel? The Good: -Embarkation: Quick and Simple. No hassles and boarded within 20 minutes of entering the main terminal. -Pool/General Area/Solarium: She's an older ship but well maintained. Beautiful glass enclosures with tan and blue undertones. Large atrium ...

We live within an hour of the Port of Tampa so this was an easy getaway weekend for us. Embarkation in Tampa was a breeze. Well organized and efficient. Please note that you can not bring on board any opened beverage. I had to toss the bottle of water I was drinking. You can bring a case of unopened water if you wish. They now allow you to bring two bottles of wine per cabin to be consumed in ...

We had an amazing time on our first cruise & feel like we made the right choice to sail with Royal Caribbean. While we were at sea apparently two additional Carnival cruise ships had trouble again (making four total in a month's time). So glad that we went with RCI. I made the reservations over the phone directly with Royal Caribbean. The representative I spoke with was very helpful. Even ...

Jewel of the Seas. I would not consider myself a "cruise Person." So take this review with a grain of salt if you wish. 1.Embarkation and disembarkation- Relatively smooth and problem free for my family of 5, i would say that was a general rule for most cruisers, as long as you have all of your paperwork in order.. No issues. 2. Food- I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of food, ...

This was my first cruise and I can say I will certainly go again soon! I will try and be as detailed as I can and please keep in mind I'm new to cruising so some things may just be the norm on all cruises. My wife and I arrived at about noon in Tampa on our day of departure. We parked right across the street from the ship. Cost was $15/day which I'm sure there were cheaper places, but this was ...

My husband and I were looking for a quick vacation and a 4 day cruise was perfect, I was weary of spring breakers but that wasn't an issue on the cruise. Tampa: getting a taxi from the airport to the port was super easy and cost $ 25 , its a 15 minute drive or so . We got out of the cab handed our bags to one of the bag guys, tipped him $2 and entered the terminal. We arrived around 11:30 so ...
