jlajr Posted April 29, 2016 #30 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the news. We're on Jewel's first Med cruise on the 13th so I was getting a little antsy! My thanks for the information, as well. I'm also on the May 13 sailing. If, by chance, you walked past cabin 1054 or met someone who stayed in that brand-new-cabin-in-the-space-that-used-to-be-the-Concierge-Club, any information would be appreciated. :) Hope you had a great time!

debcruiser Posted April 30, 2016 #31 Share Posted April 30, 2016 i just pre-purchased voom package for my may 23 cruise. I hope they really have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted April 30, 2016 #32 Share Posted April 30, 2016 i just pre-purchased voom package for my may 23 cruise. I hope they really have it From the download speed posted in another thread it looks it might have real Voom - the download speed (2+ MBs) makes it very promising.

deepcman Posted May 3, 2016 #33 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm on the Jewel now and it's 7am so not much traffic. Download speed test is 0.26Mbps. Ping is 641 ms so you can see its not vroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted May 3, 2016 #34 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm on the Jewel now and it's 7am so not much traffic. Download speed test is 0.26Mbps. Ping is 641 ms so you can see its not vroom. Do you recall if you were given the choice of "surf" or "surf & stream"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the previous poster was really lucky to get a 2MB download speed test (or it was an erroneous test) - the 582 ms ping was certainly not indicative of Voom. The other possibility is that the Voom hardware may be there but for some reason it's not operating now so the ship is relying on the old Internet connection.

villager70 Posted May 4, 2016 Author #36 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The internet is faster than before but it is not Voom. On her just after yard and had Voom on last two ships. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbflex Posted May 4, 2016 #38 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anyone seen the Kummelweck Sandwich aboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pradtke20 Posted May 4, 2016 #39 Share Posted May 4, 2016 No kummelweck. Dennis is cruise director with very mixed results. No park cafe. Alot of training is needed of all the new staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny AZ Girl Posted May 7, 2016 #41 Share Posted May 7, 2016 We have sailed on the Jewel four times now and she is my favorite ship. Thank you for the update! I am looking forward to being back on her in October 2017 while she is in the Med. [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrcards Posted May 7, 2016 #42 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Pre-refurb (and pre-Izumi), Jewel would have sushi at the WJ for dinner. Is that still the case or is it gone because of Izumi? Edited May 7, 2016 by starrcards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc2204 Posted May 7, 2016 #43 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Does anybody know if the Jewel does a Chefs Table? I am hoping they have included that dining option. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julescroose Posted May 8, 2016 #44 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hi Bob, Thanks for updating us all. I read that the kids area got a new section for tots, am wondering if this means it lost anything elsewhere? Maybe if you don't pass by there one of the staff would know? My 7 yr old is looking forward to it, does it still have kids pool and slide in that zone? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
