Review summary

The ship is subtle and classy in every way. Starting with the Centrum with it 's two, 3-4 story thin colored waterfalls on the walls, glass elevators to see the ocean as your riding up/down, the Safari Lounge with it's mahogony woodwork, chess & backgammon tables, pool tables that are self-leveling (very interesting to watch during rough seas - the balls stayed completely level while the table moved up, down & sideways!), perfect tropical setting, adult only, Solarium with heated pool, piped in bird & cricket sounds, retractable mirrored roof, Pit Stop sports bar with numerous televisions and constant sports games/shows, fun casino - I won $1,100 the first night at sea and we heard of a lot of others winning throughout the 5 day trip!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Windjammer buffet always had numerous selections for lunch & dinner. Can order room service on cabin tv or by calling.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The entertainment was ok but we have seen better on other RC cruises. We felt that maybe since this was a charterd ship cruise, that the better entertainment was put off until the regular cruises. We were disappointed there was not a Shore talk on the excursions for Bermuda.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Friendly and attentive staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is sparkling clean, nice open public areas, wonderful glass windows everywhere!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Balcony stateroom was nice. We had enough room in the closets to hang our clothes plus keep our luggage in the bottom.

Ports of call

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
A must see are the South Shore beaches. Stunning blue & torquoise waters, soft, pink spotted beaches. Buy a bus/ferry pass to get around the island. Hamilton has a lot of shopping areas. Clocktower Mall in the Dockyard. Snorkle Park also in the back area of the Dockyard with outdoor bar and small beach area.
Don't Miss: Fort Hamilton and it's tropical garden moat

Pros: beautiful decor throughout, windows/views everywhere!

Cons: awning under our cabin balcony-cut out our view of straight down to the ocean

Recommends Jewel of the Seas? Yes!
