wow some great pictures!

Dubai jewel was 45 days for me.

I'm hearing a lot of good reviews from Qatar though so it may not be so bad after all.

with Celebrity Edge in too I think

Lots of extra pool deck space to play with. I wonder what they will come up with?!

I just watch some rubbish on why he hates oasis class ships or something. what a load of rubbish that was. 20 minutes I will never get back. complaining about a $5 can of pop. don't buy it LOL

I presume his videos don't really include much detail? just a load of waffle.

I hope so but have no idea what, promenade?? will it even have a flowrider or will they move on from that.

So Royal Caribbean are tight lipped but we do know its 200,000GT and powered by LNG that's it LOL

I believe they are getting released 2nd march. see the below blog post . https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2020/01/11/royal-caribbean-releases-spring-2021-2022-opening-schedule

I'm watching the video now! it will certainly be easy to send them the link and to watch the video. thanks Matt

its swings and roundabouts for different people. its a shame I wont get to visit Bahrain but 2 days in Abu Dhabi sounds good to me

BREAKING NEWS ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS Dear Guest, Before you get ready to join us onboard the Jewel of the Seas, we have an important itinerary change to share with you for our upcoming March 2nd sailing. Last week, there was news of conflict in the Persian Gulf. Since then, we’ve been closely monitoring the area along with our Global Security and Intelligence Team. While it’s safe to visit the Arabian Gulf, out of an abundance of caution, we’ve decided to cancel our visit to Bahrain. Please know, we didn’t take this decision lightly. Instead, we’ll overnight in Abu Dhabi before making our way back to Dubai. We’re terribly sorry for this unexpected change. After some back and forth, we agreed this would be the best alternative to our original itinerary. We hope you’ll enjoy the extra time exploring everything Abu Dhabi has to offer! Below, please find our revised itinerary.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. We can’t wait to welcome you onboard soon! Sincerely,

I'm sure there is a blog post but I've googled it and all sorts but couldn't find anything. I'm looking at planning a group cruise for my friends and family but know they will have many questions. I want to compile some sort of information pack for them to help them understand why a royal cruise is the way to go! I'm sure there is a post about the top 10 questions and answers that are asked about a royal Caribbean cruise. Any suggestions would also be appreciated. Also any other main points I need to include too

Everything seems back to normal now.
