KKMurphy2 Posted April 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2015 With a southern Caribbean route, I hope that I can get some direct sunshine in the quiet area? Anyone on the ship recently that can tell me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCruiser Posted April 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, it's a covered area. The roof is retractable, but I've seldom seen it open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveru621 Posted April 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jewel has a retractable Solarium roof. Whether they open it or not is open for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone on the ship recently that can tell me? Thanks! Recently (October) did the southern caribbean on Jewel and the roof was never retracted...have cruise several times on various RCI ships and have never seen the roof opened...maybe it's just been my timing.

I was on it last week and never saw it open either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange jeep Posted April 15, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jewel's solarium is really beautifuly. Probably one of my favorites. There is plenty of sunshine throughout the ship by the other pools, upper decks, etc. I have been on the Jewel twice and I just love that ship! I will definately go on the Jewel again soon, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumbaamd Posted April 15, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) We were on JW last Christmas and New Year's B2B. The roof was open many times. Guessing more than 1/2 of the time. Jewel's solarium roof is evidently in better shape than others. Apparently many are difficult to open, JW's not so. Enjoy your cruise!

bilyclub Posted April 15, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was on last week and saw it open almost everyday. When it was open it was only for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted April 15, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So some of us have never seen it open and some have...So the question would be...What are the guidelines for opening it...does any one know that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted April 15, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2015 We were on Jewel this past March. Some times it was open, some times it was closed. I don't know what criteria they used to decide when to open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
