End of another great cruise.

Though Jewel of the Seas is considered an old ship, the staff worked very hard to keep passengers happy. The wear and tear of the ship can be seen in the cabins - mirrors, sofa bed, balcony, etc. The cabin stewards kept the rooms tidy and were always available to assist. The cabin was comfortable. But the aging of the ship does not really affect with the fun. The Centrum was constantly active with games, dances, music, etc. Also, there were enough clubs. and a theater, with entertainment to keep everyone busy. The main dining room, Tides, was nice. The waiters excellent. The Windjammer buffet was also excellent. There was always lots of great choices. There were also stations where one could order freshly made pasta dishes, omelets, etc. There was something for everyone. I tried one of the Specialty Restaurants, Chops Grille, and was very pleased with the service and food. What I liked most of the Jewel is the fact it has a wrap-around deck, Deck 5, what was once called the Promenade Deck.

Would I cruise on the Jewel or similar ship in the future? Definitely yes.

The islands we visited were all great. Though I had visited each one before, there were new things to see and do due to the many changes that have taken place over the years.

After checking out for the last time, I headed to the airport and took JetBlue to St. Croix. Photos taken on my beautiful island will be posted under USVI - St. Croix - 2 beginning with Q.

Hope you enjoyed the photos.
