lukesmom Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I can't find many details about the Jewel. I am considering booking this in November but am worried as I have heard it is very dated. Any info would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good summary of Jewel: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?shipClassCode=RD&shipCode=JW&br=R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsomadhatter Posted January 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2014 She's a favorite around here. We chose her as our first RCCL cruise and she was in great repair, with lots of beautiful views to see the ocean. I didn't feel she looked dated at all.

bashawclan Posted January 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2014 We were just on the Jewel in December. It wasn't a spanking new ship but it was very nice and comfortable. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUSINGFAMILY Posted January 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yes have to say it is our favorite ship in the fleet wish we could sail on her every cruise. Great staff perfect layout of decks, good entertainment. We have spent many weeks on her and her sisters, Radiance and Serenade we love them. Happy sailng Brian J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertbelle Posted January 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Each class of ship has it's own charm. The Radiance Class of ships are older but Royal Caribbean are great at keeping their ships looking great, I can't say I have ever seen one that looked "dated". We haven't been on the Jewel for a few years, but she was a beauty when we last sailed her. The Jewel won't have all the bells and whistles of say, the Oasis or the Freedom, but she will offer you nooks to stare out at the ocean while you read a book and she has more glass looking out than you are probably used to on a ship. We are planning a month on her sister the Brilliance in May and our last cruise was on the Oasis, and we are very excited and not at all nervous about her being tired.

chickadee1 Posted January 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi - we last sailed on her sister ship, Brilliance, November 2012, and had a wonderful time and thought the ship was beautiful! We are sailing 11/1/14 on the Jewel to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary and are looking forward to it!! Good luck in deciding what you want to do!!

Rare Familygoboston Posted January 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I wrote a pretty comprehensive review with photos, copies of the Cruise Compasses, lists of menus and shows of Jewel just last month, sailed in mid November- luckilly, the ship is not like bananas, and hasn't gone "bad" yet. The review is linked in my signature ¥¥¥¥ down there. Edited January 13, 2014 by Familygoboston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
