Solarad Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Any other thoughts while sailing would be appreciated as we are boarding her in 12 days! My DH and I love the Radiance class ships and are looking forward to this mid-winter escape from our chilly Ohio weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaRob Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Thanks for doing a report-Jewel doesn't get alot of love these days in live reports. Did you eat in the WJ on embarkation or did you find someplace else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you see me, please say hi. Today I'm wearing a navy blue RCCL Navigator T-shirt. We enjoy the food in the WJ for breakfast and lunch. Today I especially enjoyed the seafood cream sauce with pasta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrepreneur83 Posted January 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Will be on Jewel this Sunday. Could you tell us what 2 nights are the formal nights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted January 12, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We got to the terminal at 12:10 and on the ship at 12:25. We did stop for pictures. Second night which is a sea day was the first formal night. I don't know the night of the 2nd formal night. I'll ask at the front desk. We ate in the MDR for dinner again at the same table at 5:30pm. We both had the beef tenderloin which was tender and tasty. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebutter Posted January 12, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Fast question for you Susie 51, if you remember, what time was the welcome aboard show on the first night. We board on Sunday, and would maybe like to see this one (we've always been busy on our other cruises). Figure if I can plan for it, more likely to make it.

phabric Posted January 12, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) thinking on taking a Jewel cruise in Dec. what ports are you going to? Any recommendations on tours? Edited January 12, 2016 by phabric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted January 12, 2016 Author #14 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The second formal night will be on Friday. We didn't care for our food selections in the MDR tonight. However the cream of mushroom soup was good. The Gorgonzola cream sauce with pasta was delicious in the WJ at lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted January 12, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) thinking on taking a Jewel cruise in Dec. what ports are you going to? Any recommendations on tours? We are going to Barbados, St. Lucia, Antequa, St. Croix St. Maarten, and back to San Juan. We took a taxi and did a short tour of the island today in Barbados. People who went to Sand Beach said there weren't many fish there. Others said the water wasn't clear. I'll give more info as the cruise progresses.

Pumbaamd Posted January 13, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) We are going to Barbados, St. Lucia, 'Antigua', St. Croix, St. Maarten, and back to San Juan.gI'll give more info as the cruise progresses. If it's not too late, take a St. Lucia ship's tour that takes you to the volcano, very near the Pitons. You get right down into the crater of the volcano. Excellent excursion. When you get to St. Croix, the ships Panoramic excursion gave a great tour of the island. When we got to the other side, there was time for a stop on the boardwalk for a waterfront drink and quick lunch at different cafes. We did these two tours on JW two weeks ago. Enjoy Jewel!!!

Susie51 Posted January 13, 2016 Author #23 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We enjoyed the shore ex. The small bus was very comfortable with good AC. Our bus driver was exceptionally good. We are resting now and then eating in the WJ tonight. We had a late lunch in the WJ. The cream sauce with pasta was delicious as usual. Each day the carrots are cooked perfectly.

DonnaK Posted January 14, 2016 #24 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Susie! Can you ask someone on the activities team which cruise director will be coming onboard when John Blair begins his break this weekend? (Will it be Dennis Charles?) I'd like to update the CD list with the correct info. Thanks and Bon Voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
