Jewel of the Seas
First time cruise for my wife and I. We picked Jewel of the Seas based on the ports of call. The ship is gorgeous and has been recently updated. We splurged on a balcony stateroom and I am glad we did, not sure if the whole experience would have been the same without it. There are plenty of activities throughout the day and evening to keep you entertained from bingo, to karaoke, trivia, shows, swimming pool, table tennis, workout facility, etc. With all that there was to do, sometimes my wife and I were still a little bored at times, however, I think that was more due to the fact that this was our first cruise and first vacation without the kids and we didn't know how to truly relax and enjoy doing nothing! The food was excellent! We either ate in the main dining room, Tides, or the cafe, the Windjammer. We ate at the Tides for dinner daily for the most part. Our waiters were awesome! Very attentive and friendly and treated us like guests and not customers. The food was great as well; menu changed daily but there were some classics in case you couldn't find something that you liked. I am pretty daring and had everything from escargot to lamb; it was all great! In the Windjammer cafe it is buffet style but the food is also well prepared. We mostly ate in the Windjammer for breakfast but on two evenings the Tides was having a "formal" night and we did not want to dress up to eat so we chose the Windjammer instead. Not really a fan of dressing up, especially on vacation, but I get it, some people enjoy it so no biggie. Our stateroom attendant was awesome and we truly could have not asked for better service. The only two complaints about the ship I really have is that at one of the events on the ship it was an "adult only" game of Quest late in the evening. Even though it was well publicized both in print and verbal announcements, there was at least one parent that showed up with young kids. The game was not too horribly risque, but it was definitely not appropriate for kids. The staff member hosting the game noticed the children and made a comment but instead of telling the parent that the children had to leave, he said that if Mom was okay with them being there he was fine with it; which I definitely think was the wrong decision by the staff member. My other complaint is the costs of all the extras on the ship. For one, Internet, even in this day and age of technology we had to pay over $100 for the cheapest Internet package offered. It was sufficient enough to check email, Facebook, etc., but definitely not fast enough for uploading pictures or streaming anything. The other big cost was a "drink package" which there were several offered. I looked at getting the "beer" package the second day into the cruise since I bought one beer on the first day and it was $8. I found out that you cannot just buy the package for one day(s) at a time, even though that is how the price is advertised, you have to buy a package for the entire cruise. It would have been over $400 for me to purchase the beer package for 9 days which was totally not worth it. So I stuck with buying a few beers a day at $8 a pop. Also, if you like soda, get ready to pay! Soda is not a standard drink on the ship either, you have to purchase a package for that as well and then you will receive a cup in which you could use at the Coke machines to fill your own cup. I'm not exactly sure how much the soda package was, but I think it was about $8 a day which I guess isn't too ridiculous. My last con I think would be on a tournament that the casino was holding. I joined a blackjack tournament that the casino held and was a little perturbed that even after the tournament began the casino allowed people to sign-up and join the tournament. Also, people were allowed to "buy back in" which I have never heard of in a tournament. It wasn't for a great deal of money so its not that big of a deal, but just one more way to show you the ship is going to make money anyway it can. Even though I listed a few complaints/cons, I really did enjoy the whole experience. The ship is a marvel to be on, the staff is great, the food is good and the ports of call were excellent. I would recommend a cruise on this ship!
Pros: Ship was updated recently, food was excellent, staff is very friendly
Cons: nickle and dimed for every imaginable expense

Jewel of the Seas
Overall had a great time. The food and shows were the only thing that could have been improved. Food was often very buttery. Half the shows were great, half were not worth the time.
Pros: Staff was great, everything seemed clean, great ports
Cons: Food was okay but not super great, shows were okay but not great

Jewel of the Seas
The staff on Jewel from the Captain through entire staff were friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. The food in the Dining Room and Windjammer were good. The offerings in the Solarium for lunch were disappointing after such good experiences on other RC ships. The Next Cruise staff were outstanding and very patient. We booked 3 more cruises on Royal Caribbean!
Pros: Staff,
Cons: Fitness Center Instructor - Philip

Jewel of the Seas
One small con for the Jewel of the Seas, hence the 4 star vs 5 star rating, we paid for unlimited soda & the sodas from the bars & machine were watered down, so not as tasty as canned or bottled soda. That was their ONLY fault. Everything else was wonderful. Security was very good & welcomed.
Pros: Service was great, people helpful & friendly, ports of call great, food great
Cons: see below

Jewel of the Seas
I'd like to recognize the waitress we had, Debra, and her assistant, Sonny Jackson. They were invariably friendly and highly competent. In addition, Debra had an astounding memory for names, and could instantly remember mine and all the other members of my party. My stateroom attendant, a Philippines native, who serviced room 7544, was extremely gracious and attentive to our needs. When you consider how much would be paid for an overnight in San Francisco, with 24-hour dining and great entertainment, plus touring for just $45 on the hop-on-hop-off bus, and then consider you got that plus 5-1/2 days of additional cruise destinations, dining and entertainment, plus activities, the value was impressive.
Pros: The staff could not have been better, very friendly and competent. Very good food and the entertainment among the best I've experienced on my three lifetime cruises.
Cons: The process of getting off the ship was chaotic
