How do you order Evian to your room?

This is our first cruise with RCI

From the cruise planner pre-cruise. They originally only had canned water of a different brand which is what I thought I was going to get, however, I got 12 1 liter bottles instead. I prefer this to carrying a case of water onboard. The cost was $11 - got it on sale.

Headliner comedian Rodney Johnson was good. No production show tonight or any night on this cruise. Susan Adams a.k.a. “Cruising Susan” is our Cruise Director. Centrum band played good music.  Signing off from the Centrum. Tomorrow Nassau.

I love cheese. Any kind. If I was on a deserted island I could happily survive on cheese and crackers.

That being said, I'm not sure I could tackle this one. The cheese looks way too thick, even for me. How was it for you?

Thanks for taking us along! Definitely enjoying my virtual cruise. 😎🛳

I would love to see some pictures of the Solarium area.  We are going to be on the Jewel in August/September for a Norwegian Fjords cruise.

I'm also on Jewel for this 5 night. Like @livingonthebeachsaid embarking was super easy. Not having any guests to kick off helps.

 

I also received a case of Evian water, I had purchased a 12 pack of cans. Having sailed other ships this year, this leads me to believe Jewel didn't exhaust their supply of bottled water (also got 5 bottles of the 16oz)

I'm back on Jewel March 1, too bad I can't leave some of these Evian here for that cruise.

I'm sailing solo and had dinner in the MDR. I was expecting to sit at a 2-top alone with my kindle. To my surprise I've been assigned an 8-top. There was only one couple at the table, 1st time cruisers too. They were so cute, and had so many questions.

I also noticed that there are no production shows this sailing. I wonder if the next sailing being a charter has anything to do with that. 

 

My past 4 cruising this year have been on Oasis & Quantum class. It sure is nice to grab coffee in the DL and be able to see outside

Yes - deck 7. Windjammer still not fully self service yet. Only the drinks are serve yourself. 

Is it an aft cabin?
 

We just booked 7172 & 7174 for a Norway cruise in June 2023. Would have preferred a higher deck but wanted the aft view of the fjords.

Yes it’s an aft balcony cabin.

Good morning brought to you by the DL. Nice breakfast spread with an awesome view! Just about to arrive in Nassau….stay tuned

[livingonthebeach]

Just about to dock in Nassau, we are joined by Celebrity Edge and another ship I can’t quite tell yet.

[livingonthebeach]

Here’s the Solarium and Gym. Pics of Spa to follow when they open. 

[livingonthebeach]

Harmony is pulling into port and about to join us. 

[livingonthebeach]

Was told there are 1,300 onboard. Enjoy cruising at these lower capacities.

About to embark on a “Funky Nassau Adventure” - whatever that means…

Great review...one of my favorite ships!  Sadly I have to wait until next January for my turn.  But she will be within easy reach for me when she comes to PC as homeport.  🙂 

 

Yaaaah!  Radiance class ship at Port Canaveral!!   

[livingonthebeach]

View of Nassau from my balcony. Still a lot of construction on the pier going on.

How’s the internet?  I assume you have surf+stream.

[SummerBeee]

@livingonthebeachI think we were in the DL at the same time this morning. The ship in front of Harmony is Enchantment

Jewel has the older geo-sync sat internet - poor performance compared to newer ships.

[NC State]

Love, love this.  We will be on the Jewel for 8 nights in April...we can't wait!

Was that you? Yes I thought it was Freedom but the attendant told me it was Enchantment. So there are currently four ships here. Jewel, X Edge, Enchantment and Harmony. We (Jewel) have the best spot in the port. Yaaay!!!

Yup, watching you on Live Cam....well the Ship, not You

Very pleasant “Funky Nassau” tour. We started out visiting the rum cake factory then the Queen’s Staircase followed by a jaunt to the rum distillery and the Junkanoo museum and finished at the fish fry. Nassau still has a ways to go recovering since I was last here in September of last year but quite an improvement since then.
