Jewel of the Seas | A Royal Caribbean Cruise Tour Part II

We’re heading back to continue our tour of Royal Caribbean‘s Jewel of the Seas. Previously, we visited a few of the public spaces and now we’re off to visit the areas that people want to know the most about: Cabins and food. Yes, the itinerary is important and how new a ship is or how many people are on it, but everyone always asks about the cabins and the food. How was the food? Were the cabins big?

Cabins: The cabins we visited were average sized cabins by Royal Caribbean standard. We only had the opportunity to visit three of the cabins onboard. The first was a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony (E2) – approx. 220 sq. ft., a Junior Suite (JS) that was handicapped accessible at 359 sq. ft., and a Grand Suite (GS) – approx. 464-490 sq. ft. The Grand Suite sleeps up to four people and has a larger bathroom with a bathtub. This picture is of the sleeping area in the Junior Suite. The furnishings were updated and the decor tasteful and nicer than I have seen on other Royal Caribbean ships. The color scheme chosen was darker and richer and gave a more expensive feel to the cabins. I’ll be posting pictures of the other cabins and other areas of the ship on our FaceBook page tomorrow so please visit and indulge on all the pics! While you’re there, take a look at some of the other ships’ pictures, too. Did you know you can click on the pictures in this blog to make them bigger, too? Read the rest of this entry »

Jewel of the Seas | A Royal Caribbean Cruise Tour Part I

There are a multitude of cruise ships to pick from for your next cruise so how do you decide which one is right for you? I highly recommend speaking with your travel agent, but you should do research as well. One way to investigate and vet out your next cruise is by reading about the individual cruise lines and ships. At a recent conference (cruise3sixty), I had the opportunity to spend some time aboard Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. Part of the Radiance class of ships, the Jewel of the Seas entered service in 2004. At 90,090 GRT, she can carry 2,114 double occupancy (2,502 maximum) and 842 crew members. What is unique about the Radiance Class of ships is the amount of glass just about everywhere to allow you to see all around you. The Jewel of the Seas has a ten-story glass-constructed Centrum, glass elevators facing the sea, and the highest percentage of outside cabins in the Royal Caribbean fleet.

Be Aware of These Things If You Are Considering Joining YTB Travel

It is a common trap for people to jump headfirst into a business opportunity which promises immediate success. The YTB Travel Network is not necessarily a business opportunity which will fail to meet its potential. However, people need to be cautious about any new venture they enter, and do their research so that they know exactly what the MLM industry entails.

The people that you work with can determine whether a business opportunity succeeds or fails. Marketing tactics also play their part in a successful venture. Both opportunities and risks are foreseeable when thinking about YTB. It has a proven track record of constant growth since its inception in 2004, with management endeavoring to make the business sustainable in the long term. Their level of services has been said by some to be not up to the highest of standards, and is something that needs more exploration and consideration should you want to enter into it.

Management has gone to great lengths to make the company a success, though it is considered by some to be a risk to join. Opinions vary as to whether it will continue to be successful.
