Jewel of the Seas

Booked cruise through American Airlines, only received one email communication about initial booking, no other communication, reminders for payment, reminders to go to cruise site from AA. When I talked to Royal Caribbean, since AA was considered the "travel agent" they cannot communicate with us directly, all communication about the cruise is supposed to come from American - None came. Very poor service by booking through America.

We chose this cruise because of the ports of call the boat is not worth the money you spend on it but the places they stop are fantastic. We did a tour at every port and each one of them were wonderful. Be aware that Royal Caribbean will try to nickel and dime you out of every penny they can

If you told me that I could go back on this exact ship, with this itinerary, and this staff and have the exact same experience I just had, I would return without hesitation. Absolutely recommend this ship, absolutely recommend these ports, and I absolutely recommend spending some time in Rome either before or after.

Very nice cruise:

Interesting destinations, nice ship, friendly crew.

The excursions variety and their quality are not so wonderful.  Foe instance in Corsica we were taken for a 40 min bus ride just for a 30 min toilet brake (!). then we came back to  Ajaccio a walking tour. We spent extra money and our time for nothing.

I've been on serval cruises with RCC, however, Jewel of the seas doesn't seems like welcome peoples and uncheerful team crews.  Plus additional charges on towels without letting customers know to return.  Not much entertainment and smaller ship to Mediterranean.  Food was ok & service was slow on the first couple days.  We had to switch to other table to have better service.  Otherwise, it's good.
