Review summary

The entire 2 weeks were wonderful. There was many ports of call, but my favorite was Guatemala, Cartahina.  Some of the other ports were ok, but you really need to plan on going on a group tour to see the country.  The people were warm and welcoming in each country. 

Would I do it again you bet, in fact this was my second time going. The staff on the Jewel was warm and welcoming. They made you feel like you have been friends for ever. The ship was clean I never had a problem.

Karl our steward was super. He took good care of us. I did give him a tip as I left the ship. I felt he went he did more than he had to. Thanks Karl!!!

Ship tip

If you want a lounge chair around the Pool be prepared not to find one. Most people trowel their lounge chairs and don't show up till later. Very frustrating.
