September 2018 - 7 Night Western Mediterranean (Rome Roundtrip) Cruise on Jewel of the Seas
Average
Took a Balcony Cabin on Deck 9 Midship. Tied looking cabin, wood work chipped and scuffed, bathroom tatty with paint peeling and bathroom closet doors marked and damaged. Not what you expect from a four star ship.
Service in Diamond Lounge was good. Main Dining room food absolutely awful on first formal night so on second formal night we were moved to either side of dining room. Service there was excellent but food awful once again. All other nights we ate in speciality restaurant in order to get good quality food but begrudge having to pay for this just to escape the main dining room.
As a Diamond Member we have given RCL our Loyalty but we are seeing very little loyalty coming back. The price of drinks along with the 18% gratuity charge is extortionate outside of Diamond Lounge hours and having 3 drinks vouchers to be used anywhere is pointless when RCL are resting this the Diamond Lounge hours only. Loyalty should allow the 3 vouchers to be used at any time of the day. Come on RCL up your game or loose your loyalty members.

Cruise tips
Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands
Loved this port. Took the 100 year old wooden train down to Soller. Not enough time though in this port
Stayed on Ship to relax as been here four times. First timers its a must so enjoy
Been here before and did not help as it poured of Rain
City Tour was very poor as very little to see here. Did not like this port
Great walk along the promenade seeing the wonderful hotels and boats
Jewel of the Seas
As a Diamond Member we feel that RCL are declining year on year and are cutting back as a result of competition.
