Jewel of the Seas

As a member of the Radiance Family of ships, the design of Jewel of the Seas utilizes acres and acres of glass to ensure that passengers onboard are constantly surrounded by spectacular sweeping views of the sea. The ship combines a high percentage of balcony cabins with speed, added comforts, greater space, and an enhanced staff. Among the highlights are glass elevators facing the ocean, six dining alternatives, and a sports court.

Several onboard whirlpools and jacuzzis mean that relaxation is never far away--there's even a whirlpool located in the Solarium, where you can unwind in an African safari-like setting. The ShipShape Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art exercise equipment, fitness classes, a massage parlor, and hair salon. Golfers will find a putting green and golf simulators, and you don't have to be an expert climber to enjoy the rock climbing wall. There is also a basketball court, game arcades, and three pools, including the special kid's pool area with its own waterslide. The art studio, well-stocked library, and host of shopping options provide other enjoyable outlets. At Royal Caribbean Online, you can access the Internet and send email.

Dine in luxury among waterfalls in the main dining hall, go the upscale Chops Grille for the perfect steak, or have a romantic meal in the reservations-only Italian restaurant. For more casual fare, the Windjammer Cafe has outdoor seating. The Bombay Billiard Club, Jakarta Lounge, Singapore Slings, and the Calcutta Card Club all provide unique venues with a British-Colonial theme within the customizable Colony Club entertainment complex. At night, the stars shine down from above, the scene at the many bars heats up, the excitement mounts at the casino, and dynamic productions embody the glitz and special effects of Broadway or Las Vegas.
