Jewel of the Seas

Kids’ Clubs, Mini Golf and Pool Tables That Stay Level

Jewel of the Seas splits her kids’ clubs by age, and all of them are included in the fare. Aquanauts takes 3 to 5s, Explorers takes 6 to 8s, and teenagers get their own Teen Lounge. Aquanauts runs hands-on science and prehistoric discoveries for the youngest. Explorers adds experiments with names like Space Mud and Fossil Fever, plus arts and crafts, performances and ice cream parties. Teenagers get a hangout with planned events, or simply somewhere to relax with other young guests.

Between clubs, the mini golf course comes with ocean views and needs no booking. Her pool tables are self-levelling, so the playing surface stays steady as the ship moves. Quieter hours suit the Library and Card Room, which pairs books across many genres with tables for cards and board games.

Bahamas From Florida, Summers From Copenhagen

Most of her programme is 3- and 4-night Caribbean round-trips with Royal Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), running through much of the year from £291pp*. Stops change between departures, but Nassau and Coco Cay in the Bahamas are typical. In November she also sails 5-night round-trips from Tampa, with Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico among the likely calls.

From late spring through summer she sails out of Copenhagen. Her 7-night Norway round-trips run in May and August, and ports such as Stavanger, Ålesund and Haugesund often feature. In the Baltic she runs 9-night round-trips from Copenhagen in May and July, and 10-night voyages from Stockholm to Copenhagen in July and August; Tallinn, Helsinki and Riga are among the usual highlights. An 11-night one-way from Copenhagen to Stockholm runs in June and August.

In August she makes her transatlantic repositioning voyages, 17 and 21 nights from Copenhagen to Boston, with Reykjavik, Akureyri and Qaqortoq in Greenland among the possible calls. September brings 7-night New England round-trips from Boston, where Halifax, Saint John and Portland, Maine, are typical stops. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers as one holiday.

Her fellow Radiance Class ships include Radiance of the Seas and Serenade of the Seas, and the rest of the line is on our Royal Caribbean fleet page.

City of Dreams, Tango and an English Pub

Evenings on Jewel of the Seas centre on shows included in the fare. City of Dreams travels through imagined worlds, from Atlantis to Venice, with elaborate costumes, soaring music and cinematic sets. Tango Buenos Aires brings Argentina’s signature dance to the stage, from Apache to Elegant Tango styles, backed by live music. Original productions fill other nights with singers, dancers and projection effects, and the line-up changes from sailing to sailing.

For something lower-key, her pub serves imported beers while musicians play your requests unplugged. Royal Caribbean regulars will also recognise the nautical Schooner Bar, Casino Royale with its free gaming lessons, and the Chops Grille steakhouse, which carries a charge. Cocktails and other drinks in her bars are paid as you go, unless you add one of the Royal Caribbean drinks packages before you sail.

Jewel of the Seas Cabins and Deck Plans

Suites on Jewel of the Seas come with Royal Suite Class, the line’s suite tier rather than a separate area. Its perks include priority service and the Suite Lounge, with a daily cocktail hour. Her cabins and deck plans show which cabins sit nearest the Solarium at the bow.
