Jewel of the Seas

9 Night Cape Liberty To San Juan Repositioning (Cape Liberty To San Juan)

Sail date: November 09, 2023

Ship: Jewel of the Seas

Cabin type: Inside

Cabin number: 9563

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 1 year ago

Review summary

Relocation cruises are a great way to travel versus airline flights given how flying these days is a real pain. I rather take a cruise to Europe in an inside cabin than sit for 7 to 10 hours in coach.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Since we got to the port around 1 PM, we were on the ship in about 15 minutes...

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Clean but saw signs of the ship's age, as it was built in 2004..

Ship tip

This is NOT an Oasis class ship, so it feels a bit smaller if you used to even the freedom class ships.

Totally agree about traveling by ship as opposed to flying a grueling long flight and spending 24 hours and $$$ to get to Europe from US vs repositioning ship cruise. Thanks for your review.

The Jewel? Not Quite.
It was great beside the disappointment of the room.
