Jewel of the Seas Review

Additional details
We gave our adult children a holiday vacation. They each choose a port or city they would like to visit. This cruise hit most of them, plus we did our own land tour before boarding.
The ship had enough activities for all ages. It was clean, modern, with a friendly staff who really seemed to enjoy their jobs.
Boarding and disembaekment was quick and efficient. Our cabins were spacious and provided enough closet and storage space for the long journey.

Port Reviews
Taormina (Messina)
Would have preferred leaving for a tour, but Tamorina was closed due to G7
Mykonos
Beautiful town, easy to do on own. First rain in 2 years dampened our beach excursion, but best meal of our entire trip!
Rhodes
So happy we stopped here rather than Turkey. Clean, beautiful easy to walk to palace. Great history and shopping.
Athens (Piraeus)
Easy taxi ride to Acropolis, although ships crew were not well informed how to do this.
We had friends here at home that gave us good information prior to the trip.
Acropolis was everything we had expected excepted crowded!
Rome (Civitavecchia)
We stayed in Rome 4 nights prior to boarding at an airbnb on our own. Would recommend this for anyone taking a cruise from this port, it is a city that should not be missed and one day doesn't do it.
