The Jewel is definitely just that!!!! A JEWEL. We loved this ship and had a marvelous cruise. Met some terrific staff from bar service to My Time Dining service. The Diamond Lounge is a great place for spending a couple hours meeting new friends and relaxing. Aline, the liaison in the DL, is a tremendous asset to RCI and the Jewel, as is Mark who is a great server. We also fell in love with Prime in the Centrum Lounge...she is so charming and seems to love her job.
The best entertainment we have seen in many years was Travis DeLoyt (Elvis Impersonator). What a fantastic show and Travis is one of the most warm and friendly people we have ever met. Royal needs him on their ships. TERRIFIC!!!
We enjoyed our first try at My Time Dining and are so happy we finally did. Much more pleasant as everyone there seemed more satisfied than we have experienced in the main Dining Room on our past few cruises. We once again were wowed when we had dinner at one of the specialty restaurants...always a wonderful experience.
