Ok, since no one else has responded I'll start you out with a couple of tips....which are good for any of the JEWEL class ships. Bridge viewing room, deck 11 all the way forward on the port (left) side. They don't seem to list this anywhere...but the curtain is usually open during daylight hours, when at sea. They do close the curtains when they are going into and out of port. If the buffet it busy for breakfast or lunch you can get your food and take it across the hall to the Italian restaurant which is closed for breakfast and lunch....but it's used as overfill for the buffet, so you can use the tables in there. They usually have coffee/juice set up in there as well for breakfast. Much quieter, and we've always been able to find a window table there.

NYteacher Posted July 23, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I have a weird tip. Hugo is the hotel director who appears magically all over the ship. If you go to the meet and greet and speak with him, he will make it a point of checking with you whenever he sees you. He personally escorted us to Le Bistro when we got turned around. When he found out an employee had given us bad directions, he sent us a bottle of wine. He held up a tender for those precious few seconds so we could board as the last passengers, etc. I have no idea how this man has such a presence everywhere. I think he must walk several miles a day around the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
