George Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 So I'm less than a week away from my first RCCL cruise on Jewel of the Seas. What are the must do's onboard that you'd recommend? George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxFan Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Many people enjoy the Seaview Cafe, deck 12 aft. It has limited hours so you have to check your Compass for hours. When you go to the Windjammer (buffet) don't miss the covered outdoor seating. It is all the way in the back through the Windjammer. Deck six has the Schooner Bar, Game Reserve (with self leveling pool tables) and The Safari Club, all nice. Also take a walk out to the helicopter pad. To get there take the deck four promenade walkway forward and go up the staircase. I would love to see the compasses when you return if you are up for keeping them and scanning them. If you want to see some pics of the Jewel (almost 100) click the following link: https://plus.google.com/photos/114954313618841672974/albums/5835722288306398337?banner=pwa RSMGreg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSoxFan Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I forgot about the elevators, great view! Also if you go up to the Loyalty Ambassador area you can look straight down in to the center of the Centrum. Like so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLC Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 It's amazing how many times I see Seaview Cafe mentioned across the internet. The one thing that most cruise lines lack is a good late night dining venue. Once I started traveling with my son, a late night venue was need as he was always hungry after getting picked up from the clubs and room service jus took too long. The 24 cafe on NCL is great and I wish the other lines offered something similar across their fleets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Thanks, we are sailing her in 6-1/2 weeks, the last week of January. If you, or anyone else, is looking for any information let me know and I'll try and have an answer for you on my return. I will definitely be bringing back the Compasses which I will send to Matt to post on the site. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
