RSLeesburg Posted September 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I am looking at a southern cruise next fall, and noticed that both Jewel and Adventure are sailing from San Juan. Here are the itineraries for both PORTS OF CALL for Jewel San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. George's, Grenada; Castries, St. Lucia; St. John's, Antigua; St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas; San Juan, Puerto Rico PORTS OF CALL for Adventure San Juan, Puerto Rico; Bridgetown, Barbados; Castries, St. Lucia; St. John's, Antigua; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; San Juan, Puerto Rico Is one of these better than the other? Also, I have seen lots of great reviews and comments about Jewel, but not so much for Adventure. Would anyone choose one ship over the other?

bouhunter Posted September 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2013 They are both awesome cruises. We did Adventure three years in a row, and Brilliance last year (Jewel sister ship). My advice would be to choose based on the ports either ship is great!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSLeesburg Posted September 7, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I have to admit that I am leaning a bit towards the Jewel itinerary, but have not really researched all the ports just yet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee1 Posted September 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 7, 2013 DH and I are on Jewel 11/1/14! Note that the itinerary for the Jewel cruises are not all the same - we chose St.Thomas, St. Croix, Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada as we had only been to St. Thomas before! If you go, do join the Roll Call - we are the only ones on it so far and I am lonely! LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the schools we are looking at for our son has a 2 week break at Thanksgiving - the week of and the week after. I was thinking the week after would be less expensive, and maybe not too crowded with kids :) PS: I did notice that the two cruises Thanksgiving week have different itineraries - too many choices :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted September 7, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Just based on ports I'd choose Adventure:) But you really can't go wrong with either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrdale Posted September 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I believe both ships have an "A" and a "B" itinerary and switch each week. I am getting ready to book the Adventure for 11/23 and 11/30 to get both routes in at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, later in the month interferes with hunting season and I would have to go cruising alone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForward2 Posted September 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 7, 2013 We are also looking for next fall - Southern route. We've strongly considered the Nov. 1 repositioning cruise on Explorer from Bayonne. It does several southern ports, check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
