Wingy

We just got off The Jewel of the Seas on 11/02 and we got towel animals every other day, some better than others, and NO chocolates at all. We were told that they stopped the chocolates "four or five years ago." Is that true, or was our cabin attendant selling his on EBay?

Ship - Jewel of the Seas

Deck - 9

Stateroom # - 9590

Stateroom Category – D1

Starboard or Port Side - Starboard

Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Yes, very quiet. The Captains announcements were not working in the room and you couldn't hear them with the door closed, but if you cracked the door, you could hear them loud and clear.

Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No

Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Great view out and aft, but 9592 is directly on the hump, so the view would be better there. I spent a lot of time on my balcony and was impressed with the privacy and relative lack of wind.

Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal with a slight angle. There was room for two chairs and a small table.

Was wind a problem? - Surprisingly no.

If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - n/a

Any specific problems with this cabin? - As usual, the refrigerator is horribly mis-named. A slight cooler is more like it. As mentioned above, the Captains announcements could not be heard inside the cabin, no matter where we set the dial.

Any other comments? -<b> We got this room for its proximity to the elevators, and if we were doing it again we would go with 9592 to be directly on the peak of the hump. The Royal Suite is directly above this room, so we didn't expect too much noise, and that was borne out. YMMV depending on who books that suite. We were told that several weeks before, some loud parties were a problem, but not for our cruise.</b>
