lmcpark Posted November 17, 2008 #276 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks Trainman! We were on the Carnival Liberty for an 8 day cruise in 2004 to Panama and your postings did bring back memories. Our trip back was very bumpy and we rocker and rolled!. Capt. was wide open and when that happens the stabilizers are not used. At least that was how it was explained to us. Lots of people were sick though. Sorry you are having rough weather. Great Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaH Posted November 17, 2008 #277 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Radiance class ships have the Windjammer open to the outside from the aft portion. This makes it nice to have breakfast or lunch in the fresh air, but is not available on the bigger ships. I do miss it. I think I need to plan for 2010 on a Radiance class. :D Jen Hey Jen, join some fellow Texans on the Jewel on 3/26/10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chasbrand Posted November 17, 2008 #279 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks Trainman for the great pictures and reviews. We go on will be on the beautiful Jewel in three weeks; your posts have brought back lots of wonderful memories of the Jewel when we sailed on her last December and many excited thoughts of cruising again soon. Hope you and Carol have a safe trip home. Looking forward to your final posting on this ship after you are home. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie115 Posted November 17, 2008 #284 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Trainman- Wonderful review of our cruise!! I agree Jewel has the friendliest crew ever! We found the formal nights to have more people dressed up than we did on our last two Mariner cruises. I saw many tuxes but as you said nearly everyone had at least sports coat and dress shirt on. While My Time Dining poster shows someone in "TShirt" type gear, we were in this section and the people were just as dressed up as anyone else and unless you knew it was a My Time Dining station you could not have told the difference. It was a wonderful experience for us. The winds on Sunday were AWESOME! I walked up on Deck 13 at the height of them and felt like I was going to be swept off the ship. When I returned to cabin I checked and found top wind speed of 65MPH. Thankfully we slowed down and so did the wind by the end of the day. Anyway thanks for a great review...you took many of the pictures I wish I had...so now I'll just look at your thread when I want to go back and reminisce!!

Mikea Posted November 18, 2008 #290 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I was interested in finding out more about the hold up. How was Royal Caribbean's response? Did they try to hush it up or were they pretty straightforward about the incident? Also what was your opinion about touring in Costa Rico, Columbia and Panama? We were in Jamaica a few years ago and once you got used to the guard\soldiers with automatic weapons, it was OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Rover Posted November 20, 2008 #291 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Anyway, on with the cruise… We haded straight for the Windjammer and an excellent lunch. Here it is! Hi Trainman-2 or anyone in the know. I have a question about the Windjammer meals on Jewel of the Seas please. Are the cups and plates plastic or china? The reason I ask is that on our last RCI cruise on Voyager of the Seas the plates were plastic. I don't really mind what the plates are made of as long as the foods good but the other half....well she just doesn't like the plastic. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted November 20, 2008 #292 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The plates are heavy duty plastic, not china. Actually I don't think it's actually plastic but don't know name of substance that they're made of except that it's definitely NOT china.....

unberwoob Posted November 20, 2008 #293 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I think the plates are melamine. They are the same as we had on the Voyager last spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie115 Posted November 20, 2008 #294 Share Posted November 20, 2008 YES Melamine!! That's the word...thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sueseb Posted November 23, 2008 #297 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi Jim, Hope you and Carol are safely back in SC. I'm sorry we didn't get to see more of you on the last days of the cruise. Since my camera "died" during our time at sea, we are surely enjoying your beautiful photos and the commentary. I agree with Gracie, we sure did rock and roll on Sunday! Happy Thanksgiving.
