Cruise had a great itinerary. Highlights were derfinitely St Kitts and St Lucia. Puerto Rico is always a fantastic place to stay! The food is absolutely amazing (Bebo's Cafe), and we never get tired of walking and exploring Old San Juan. The Jewel of the Seas is really starting to show its age though. There was always an unpleasant odor near our cabin and in our stateroom bathroom. The shopping area was very small. Staff was fantastic though - always friendly and accommodating! The elevator buttons did not always work properly and some of the exterior lights on the elevators also did not work. We were not as happy with the dining. We were required to order dessert (which did not change much from day to day) when we ordered our dinner as opposed to ordering dessert afterwards. The downside of this is that sometimes after dinner, we did not want dessert, or we would have changed our minds based on the entree. Not a really big issue, but it seemed to irritate us most nights. The embarkation process was incredibly smooth! It took us less than 20 minutes from the time that we dropped off our bags. Disembarkation was similarly smooth. It really was a very good cruise, but I would have preferred to be on a newer boat.
