Jewel of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Forced to swap itineraries based on international conflict. This was a solid adjustment. Ports were similar but different in their own way. Standard service from Royal. Enjoyed the cruise overall.

Wonderful cruise Iceland spectacular, Scotland beautiful. Visited the Culloden Battlefield somber experience, In Edinburgh its was the 900th anniversary of the Edinburgh Castle and saw King Charles there for the ceremony.

Loved this cruise!! Going to Iceland was great and loved the ports. And Scotland is always a joy.

Loved the cruise, great way to dip our toes into the Uk. Now we know where we want to spend more time next time! Take the excursions!!

The itinerary did not disappoint and was exactly what we expected. The staff's service was outstanding but our ship could use some TLC in cabin furnishings. Select excursions carefully. We were very satisfied with the overall experience.

1. Excellent itinerary; 2. Great Cruise Director (the best ever); 3. Excellent entertainment (except for the Wave Bender band) (House Band was Great); 4. Dining Room meals were 40% very good and 60% average; 5. Drinks: weak and small 6. Notable excellent staff - Servers: Lyndon, Vinay, Byron Cabin Steward: Nikko, Captain: Michael; 7. My Time Dining was Their Time Dining : ( ; 8. Ship: Not bad for its age, cabins showed age; Overall: Not Bad except for ROYAL UP SCAM! In the end we had a good time.

The staff was fantastic, the itinerary was terrific, especially since we went to Bruge ,Belguim which was an expected pleasure. This should be on the itinerary permanently. The food was good in windjammer and the crown & anchor lounge was a pleasure. We had a terrific cruise with many unexpected pleasant surprises along the way. Food was very good and we especially enjoyed Chops and the Chef’s Table.

We were a group of six and enjoyed the cruise and all ports.

Great so called smaller older ship worth another great cruise this summer.

Overall we enjoyed the cruise. We had a table with strangers which we haven’t done for years (usually do My Time) but for some reason I never got the choice—just was assigned to the 5:30 seating and a table. But luckily our tablemates were pleasant so that was nice. They did have a nice selection of activities but I think it’s ridiculous that they charge extra for exercise classes where there is basically no equipment (yoga and Pilates) or they already have the equipment (bikes). I know all cruise lines do this but it’s stupid. This was the first cruise where we had no issues getting a lounge chair in the shade by the pool every sea day, even later in the day, which was a first. It wasn’t warm the whole cruise though so that probably helped. The ports were nice and none were canceled. I thought I’d be bored with 7 straight days at sea but between all the activities and walking 2 miles a day, I wasn’t bored at all. A very small adult area, which is inside with a small pool, and is very humid. You didn’t get a chair there unless you snagged one very early morning.

Overall was a wonderful experience from San Juan all the way to Fort Lauderdale. I would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone looking at a cruise. Leaving from San Juan had to be the most relaxing and fast embarkation I have had boarding a ship. The islands we visit on this trip were amazing! The Ship we loved. Could see the water from Almost all areas of the ship. The Schooner bar on the Jewel, if you like Nautical theme was the best I’ve seen! This Ship was a Classic!

Will not take the Jewel of the seas again. No thank you.

We enjoyed the cruise very much. Great crew and ports we had not visited.

Perfect size for our group of 9. Much laughter with fun staff and great food.

Excellent cruise and itinerary with excellent staff and good food! Met some really nice folks on this trip! As always, Royal lived up to its promise; of value for your money!

I enjoyed the vacation on this ship (expect for those windows)

I loved the cruise. The ship was great! I have been on carnival before and this was much better. Great food and entertainment. Great experience.

Find yourself a newer ship and book through the cruise line so you can get a better stateroom!

Royal Caribbean is our favorite cruise line. Enjoyed southern Caribbean because we got to visit ports we had not been to before.

If was decent but not outstanding. The tours we did had great guides for the most part but they were just ok. Food was ok. Overall, that's what I'd say about the cruise--ok.
