Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Suite A nice cruise of New England by A Traveler from Dover, NH Sailing date: Sep 2009 Pros: Shore excursions were great! Cons: Food was weak unless you paid extra for a specialty restaurant. Good cruise. A lot of a la carte upcharges. Shore excursions were professional and a real treat. Most people were very pleasant. We were however left feeling a little short. We got a little frustrated with everyone telling us they usually do 12 day cruises making you feel lesser for not doing a longer cruise. Ship Details: Ship Quality Very nice smooth ship. Elevators seemed to have a strange programming lack of response. Smoke areas seem to be heavy with smoke. Dining/Food The buffets and small cafes were institutional type food. Chops Grille was fantastic for a fee. Stateroom Quality Beautiful spacious suite. Ship Staff Quality The guest relations staff was top notch. With a few stellar exceptions, most staff lacked the level of service I would expect on a grand ship. Entertainment & Activities The entertainment lacked any significant headliners. 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

Ship Details: Ship Quality ship could have used a second dancing place. only the vortex bar to dance. Dining/Food nothing special about the food. There were no midnight buffets, and the ice cream machine was only open during the restaurant hours. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Our cabin steward, Dejau was awesome. We talked to him each day and he was interested in what we were doing and if we were having a good time. Entertainment & Activities 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Jewel of a vacation by A Traveler from florida Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: smaller ship,less crowds Cons: entertainment Our 5th RCI cruise and we still love it.We chose this smaller ship over the massive newer Oasis of the seas. Turns out our captain also prefered the smaller ship to, as he came back to the Jewel after a year and a half on the Oasis, wanting a ship he could get to know everyone on. Service was great and food always changing and fresh. We did fell the entertainment could have been better overall. On a side note, a friend was on the Oasis and noted it was just too big, crowded, service not to par and entertainment was awful.We'll be back to RCI, sticking to the smaller ships.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A great cruise! by Melissa R. from NY, NY Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: Great food, fun activities Cons: Not such great ports and overly crowded pool This ship was not very modern, but very well-maintained and clean. It would have been nice if the pool and hot tub weren't so crowded all the time. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The Chops Steakhouse was great, well worth the $30 per person charge. Portofino, the Italian restaurant was also good, but similar to the food in the DIning Room so not as worth the $20 per person charge. Both were delicious though.
