Western Caribbean on the Jewel

Recommended Posts

I asked myself the same question....kinda picky I guess we are?

 

Anyway, we were on the Serenade for the Southern route, and it did make a difference. We had starboard and it worked out well for us, both in terms of majority sunsets and port views.

 

But in thinkng about upcoming Jewel Western, I am thinking for sunsets, we will be heading West/East at that time each day (or still parked in Cozumel). So that cancelled that out, and I think for port views - it can be a random type thing.

 

We ended up choosing starboard again, easier on the habit of knowing which way to turn at the staircase. :)

 

Jewel looks to be a fantastic vessel, how could you go wrong? And I bet the AFT cabin fans will also chime in soon.

We did the Jewel 6 night in December. Had a port side balcony. In Key West we were looking at little islands, boats and the ocean. In Cozumel we had a view of the pier and its shops. In Costa Maya, we had a view of the pier but there was another ship mostly blocking the view. We didn't go to Grand Cayman (went to Nassau instead) but it's a tender port anyway so it's tough to predict what the view will be. For this itinerary, I'm not sure it matters which side you are on.
