Clarea Posted November 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Don't miss Seaview Cafe, last one in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In Toronto Posted November 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2014 50's and 70's parties in the Centrum. Glass everywhere - loved the seaview elevators! Outdoor seating in the Windjammer. Patio type tables on the balconies. Enjoy - loved the Jewel! Ellen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted November 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just recently off Jewel during her Southern Caribbean out of San Juan (have cruised on her before on a 12 night Northern Europe/Baltic)..she's a favorite but sad to say she is looking a bit tired and other than cosmetic needs I too will miss the SeaView Cafe..but will be taking another cruise on her (Northern Pacific) before she goes into drydock.

39august Posted November 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Don't miss the self-leveling pool tables. Seaview is on deck 12. No charge for the food. Onion rings are great. Easiest way to get there is go up the stairs inside the Windjammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer976 Posted November 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Don't miss Seaview Cafe, last one in the fleet. I'm with Bob, it'll most likely disappear during drydock. No fees for food, check for operating hours in your Compass. Radiance class ships are really nice; Jewel OTS is GORGEOUS. Oh, and try to find a quiet time in the Safari Club, all the way back on deck 6. Grab a cocktail or a cup o' something and sit and enjoy the "wall to wall" aft views, whether in port or at sea. Enjoy your cruise!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted November 12, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Another big fan of the Radiance class. Try the Seaview early in the cruise it can get crowded later when everybody finds it. We will get at least one more cruise on her before we lose the last Seaview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise!:) Sorry no "likely" about it...it's definitely going to make room for a specialty venue...more than likely the Samba Grill...This is very sad and many of us were hoping RCI would leave the SeaView Cafe on the Jewel.

julesbeara Posted November 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Cuban Sandwich at the Seaview Cafe is good. The Goat Cheese Souffle at Portofino is a favorite of our too. She is my favorite ship and the crew is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBCruiser Posted November 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2014 sailed on her in June. Ship was perfect to me. walked all over and she was fine. Not a fan of the seaview. food is ok..not enough to get excited about...odd hours. do it all if you can We sailed on her last Feb and just loved the ship. I had read great things about the Seaview Cafe but on our one and only visit, the service was horrible and the wait time for food took at least 40 minutes. There were only 7 other people in there besides us. We must have hit it at a bad time because the previous reviews were very positive, we didn't see that on our only visit. Since this was our only negative experience on the Jewel it was easy to forgive and enjoy the other great times and food in the MDR and Windjammer. I'd sail again on the Jewel in a heart beat.

finz2u Posted November 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's been a long time since we sailed on a Radiance class. I had forgotten about the Seaview Cafe and the Safari Bar. We'll be on her next week. Can't wait. If I get a chance, I'll write an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted November 12, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2014 When is the Jewel in drydock? We will be sailing on her in April 2015. This is our first time on Jewel and wanted to try Seaview Cafe (friends love it) S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming that you cannot sign-up/reserve them? If there were I would love to schedule a time for our group of 10 for a mini-challenge.

Rare printingchick Posted November 12, 2014 #19 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Don't Miss: The opportunity to eat OUTSIDE at the Windjammer! The 70s part at the Centrum. The Quest in the Safari Lounge. (SO MUCH more fun in the more intimate setting!) Didn't have to wait to use the pool tables, and they were fun! Shuffleboard Mini golf The amazing solarium The outward facing glass elevators with a view of the ocean Love the Jewel. Cruised with her this year and am booked again for January of 2016!

Is the golf simulator still operating? If yes, was there a cost? The RC website said the Jewel has a "complimentary golf simulator", but I have not heard anybody comment on it.

The RC website said the Jewel has a "complimentary golf simulator", but I have not heard anybody comment on it. Thanks I have never seen the golf simulator free, except for events like the longest drive competition. Seeing as how there are less features on the Radiance Class, you would think Royal would keep the simulators in working condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma5 Posted February 10, 2015 #23 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The one thing I did not like about this ship is e-cig were allowed in non smoking places……... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted February 10, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The one thing I did not like about this ship is e-cig were allowed in non smoking places……... First time I have heard this on any ship. When we were on Jewel in July 2013, I could never find the Seaview café open. It wasn't a big deal to me, so after a few attempts, just did not try anymore. LOVED the ship, the solarium, the elevators overlooking the ocean. Great use of the centrum for activities. Some of what she did not have (that other ships have), I did not miss. I am sure things will be added when she goes into drydock in 2016. I could hope she gets a Flowrider, but probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
