All Things Jewel of the Seas

[BillOh]

Yes, we sailed on Jewel in November, and sadly, the Thetmal suites are gone, replaced by these cabins.

 

 

That is sad, the fact that they didn't oversell them was their own demise probably.

We're thinking of booking the Jewel of the Seas for our next cruise next January, so this thread is great. It'll be our first RC cruise if we do end up booking it.

As promised here are all 7 days of the compass that left on 2/4/18

 

We had a great time. This made me very sad to scan and upload b/c today would be a lot better on the jewel.

Thank you so much kevshocker for taking time to post the cruise compasses. We are sailing on Jewel 3/25 - Southern Caribbean Itinerary. We are 4 adults with 5 kids (aged 8 - 17). We are doing my time dining- and due to our size (I'm guessing), we were limited with dinner reservation times. Most nights we are scheduled to dine in MDR at 8pm. I'm sure there are some nights that there will be movies, activities, etc that we will want to attend. Is it easy to change dinner reservations once we board?

we did the same time every night - 830pm but I think with my time dining you can change it pretty easily. Someone else will have to confirm tho

I'm about to go on my 3rd Jewel cruise, we enjoy her a lot.

I created a thread with complete cruise compasses (includes the inserts and first and final day info) and MDR menus:

Just what I needed to get ready for my trip in 6 weeks (same sailing). I noticed that lobster was not listed on either formal night. Is that only in the steakhouse now?

 

Thanks for the posting

[nicoleskr]

According to another cruiser, lobster night was the 2nd formal night, and supposedly you just ask for them.

[hoopslover]

Thanks so much for the posting of the compasses and the menus. Its sure will help in planning our times for dinner. Hope you enjoyed your cruise.

Hi -

 

We are looking at going on the Jewel for the Southern Caribbean next January. I have a few questions.

- How are the aft cabins on Deck 7 (specifically 7172 and 7174)? Any obstructions or issues?

 

- Can the balcony divider be removed? We have friends in the cabin next to us. We don't need adjoining or a door in between the rooms, but it would be nice to be able to open up the balcony. Can the balcony dividers be removed on any of the cabins?

 

- Given that it is a port intensive cruise, does it make any sense at all to do the drink package? We aren't falling down drunks, but had the drink package on our last Carnival cruise, and loved having it.

 

TIA!

[Clarea]

... Can the balcony divider be removed ...

No, balcony dividers cannot be removed on Radiance class ships.

[norwane]

Can they be removed on the Freedom of the Seas?

[Clarea]

Can they be removed on the Freedom of the Seas?

Yes, the side facing balcony dividers can be opened with management approval. Aft balcony dividers cannot be opened.

[cruizeblues]

Thanks!! Chocolate donuts on yeaaa lol.

And very nice that you can order eggs and bacon 🥓 to your room. So the 7.95 is per plate or 7.95 for the entire room order?

When did room service start charging for hot breakfast entrees? Is there a charge for snacks and lunch as well? Haven't cruised since 2014 and there was no charge back then (except optional tip)

[MonaCK]

Around mid year last year.

Room service charges were added in May 2017.

Bummer enjoyed breakfast and mid-day snacks from room service on the balcony. Will miss that

[OnBeachTime]

I just want to add that we did the Southern Caribbean on the Jewel in January and loved it. It was our first cruise and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience. We would cruise again on Jewel in a heartbeat.

We'll be on the Brilliance for a Baltics and British Isles B2B in May.. can't wait!! :D

Does Jewel Port at the Pan American Pier or in Old San Juan?

Pan American. Old San Juan is only for when ships visit as a port of call.

Gotcha. Thanks. Curious if anyone has tried Chef’s Table on Jewel and their experience.
