We had such an easy time getting on board, we hopped off the bus then were wisked right on board.  <br /><br /><br />The ship is BEAUTIFUL, easy to find your way around and VERY friendly staff.  <br /><br />We were assigned a TERRIBLE table in the dining room, we were surprised they gave us that table after sailing with RCCL so many times, but we got it all straightened out, ended up sitting at a table for 12 and really enjoyed it. We did eat at Chops one night and Portofino&#39;s two nights. The waiter in Portofion&#39;s was EXCELLENT.  <br /><br />We really enjoyed Marty Allen and his wife one night for our entertainment.   <br /><br />Our cabin was nice except looking right out at the lifeboat cover, but at least we had a balcony to go out on and enjoy the tropical breeze. We were on deck seven. Our room steward was great he really kept our room in tip top shape, also, gave us the famous towel animals at night.   <br /><br />We would definitely sail on the Jewel again but are looking forward to trying out the Freedom of the Seas in the future.
