Welcome to cruising, welcome to Royal Caribbean, and welcome to that Jewel of a ship, Jewel of the Seas. It is one of our favorites; very classy and a nice way to enjoy the beauty and service of the classic ships along with the modern amenities of the new Big Ships. Loved your exploration and enjoyment of the ports and your ability to not let the little things become big negatives.
