"LIVE" from the Jewel- April 7, 2007
Hello everyone ! I will be leaving today for Sunny Fort Lauderdale. On Saturday morning, I will be boarding the Jewel of the Seas for an 8 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise.
I will be posting daily "Live" reports, photos, and commentary about the beautiful Jewel of the seas, and the ports where she will go. I am excited about this cruise, due to the itinerary, and five ports on an 8NT cruise, and especially Antigua (I have never been there) Sat-Ft Lauderdale Sun-At Sea Mon-San Juan Tues-St Maarten Wed- St Johns, Antigua Thur-St Thomas, USVI Fri-At Sea Sat-Nassau Sun-Ft Lauderdale I have sailed the Jewel last in March '06, for a 6NT Western. I remember the Jewel as being one of the most Beautiful ships in the fleet. I can hope for a wonderful, relaxing cruise. I think it will be a delightful 9 days. The forecast is calling for sunny skies, and warm temps (it is 38f in Maryland this morning...brrr...) Grab a cup of coffee, relax, and join me for blue skies, tropical breezes, and sparkling blue water, as we sail south for a slice of the Caribbean. Thanks for tuning in. . .

Oh Boy!!!! Another " Live Radio Thread"!! What a great itinerary. I have next week off but I am moving, so lots of stress here. Can't wait to check in each day and destress on my virtual cruise with Radio!
Radio......when you are in Antigua, see if you can get a general concensus from your fellow passengers of the most relaxing beach to go to. Have a great cruise!

We were just on the Jewel in Dec. with that same itin. It was a great time with plenty to do at each port. I'll be reading your "live" thread and re-experiencing this wonderful cruise thru your eyes.
Isn't the Jewel a "jewel" of a ship? It is really the most beautiful of all we've been on. Enjoy!!!

OH, Goody! Goody! I love your "Live" reviews.
We loved the Jewel! I don't know when we'll be able to cruise again so it's nice to be able to cruise through your "Live" reviews.

Radiance v. Voyager class
Thanks in advance, Radio. I look forward to reading your review. We've only been on Voyager class: Navigator, Mariner & Explorer and are considering the 8-day eastern on the Jewel next spring. I've read great things about the Radiance class, so I look forward to reading what you think about the ship as it compares to Voyager class. Have a great trip, I'll be reading!

I'm getting on as you get off! I'm a teacher so I could have fitted in either of these sailings. The reason we chose the latter is that my son, Jack, will be 16 on the 16th August - the day before we sail. My son wants to take full advantage of his semi-adult status by making use of the gym and the solarium! Jane x Last edited by English Jane; April 5th, 2007 at 01:47 PM. Reason: typo

There are a LOT of teachers on these cruises, including my wife and several others on our cruise. (And I used to teach, if that counts; now I'm just a government drone.) Enjoy your cruise.
