Review summary

Just got off Royal Caribbean-Jewel of the Seas. Embarkment was very quick. Staterooms was nice. Had the hump cabin 8104 which is a little longer than a regular balcony cabin. Crew members on the ship was wonderful and very couretous. The Jewel of the Seas is a very pretty ship with lots of windows. Entertaiment could improve. Food was average. The ports of calls was nice. Would recommend this cruise

Ship tip

The Seaview cafe has great sandwiches and is opened when the windjamer is closed, located on deck 12 in the back near the basball court and children's pool. Had a cabin near the centrium which did have a little noise doing activites but nothing really to complain about

Nice tips, thanks! Nice to hear that your ship stayed at port till 10pm - I wish more ships did that.

I enjoyed all of the ports. I have been to St Thomas and Aruba before. ST Thomas downtown area was closed when we arrived because it was a holiday. I love shopping at the ports so I must say St Kitt was the best because the shopping was there at the ship pier. Curacoa was pretty. Aruba was a little expensive, but still a pretty port and the ship was there until 10 pm. Tip??? watch the change the people give you at these ports and make sure it's your native money especially the coin. Other than that enjoy yourselves
