Jewel of the Seas - Jan 27 - Feb 3, 2024 - Live Review
mets07 replied to AmericanMom's topic in Royal Caribbean International
So pretty. Hard to believe we were on same ship in Greenland in September 2023. Enjoy!! -
Well if you have not done it before and the weather is good, walk the walk/bike path down the West side. You can go all the way down to the Battery if you want. Little Island Park (built in recent years) is at Pier 55. Same comment for the Highline, urban elevated park on old railroad path. If looking for good burger etc. restaurant, check out Kings of Kobe on 42nd Street

The soap provided at the bathroom sink was liquid soap.

We did not have evening turndown service on Meraviglia in November. Our stateroom attendant left the next day "schedule" either at our door or on the bed. He asked us at the beginning of the cruise if we would prefer morning or evening service. We chose morning. We did not have do not disturb on....

I had a runny nose last year sometime after a cruise. I only tested myself because my daughter-in-law was pregnant. I was positive so stayed away from her until I was negative. About 5 days. I otherwise was able to do my normal morning run right through this experience and live pretty much as usual. If it was not for her, I would not have tested myself. It was my only experience with Covid and my husband and I did everything we were "allowed" to throughout .... went to restaurants the day they re-opened, etc. Happy and healthy cruising, all.

What is FREE for kids to do at Cococay?
mets07 replied to dreamboat43's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Pirate ship (galleon) right where you enter CoCo Cay. Splashaway Bay area with slides etc. Pools, sea, most food, etc. Enjoy! -
Yes, I recall experiencing it on Carnival Horizon in 2019. Enjoy, all.

Is there ANYWHERE quiet on Coco Cay??
mets07 replied to WrittenOnYourHeart's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Agree that one option is South Beach .... facing the water, walk way to the left. Pretty quiet there and helps if you get there early or stay late (people tend to get back on the ship early). This is a photo probably an hour before we were supposed to be back on the ship... -
What new shows would you like to see on Royal
mets07 replied to FamilyCruiserUK's topic in Royal Caribbean International
@bonsai3s Jersey Boys was on Anthem and was outstanding, but was not a show in the Broadway sense, but rather a singing show / performance. Ryan Molloy, British actor, was extremely entertaining. Not sure if that is what you were thinking of.... The Broadway type show we enjoyed the most on a Royal ship was Saturday Night Fever. I don't know if it was just our luck as to the specific performers on board (Liberty) at the time, but the dancing in particular was fantastic. Most other Broadway-type shows on the ships have not held our interest. -
It may be apparent to you, but for my time (anytime / your time) dining, you must purchase the Aurea level of experience.

Ours was assigned about 2 months or a little more prior to sailing. No email as mentioned above. Best wishes.

5 Things to Know Before Sailing on the MSC Meraviglia
mets07 replied to jenngirl's topic in MSC Cruises
We have noticed on several cruise lines that they are frequently not offering coffee/tea after dinner unless you deliberately bring it up. We had once/day room service on Meraviglia. We chose morning. The attendant did enter our room every evening to leave the "compass/daily/whatever it's called" for the next day. We enjoyed the cruise very much. The ship was beautiful and the live music excellent. On the negative side, we found the buffet linearly designed and disorganized. Happy cruising, all. -
I agree with you @firefly333 and hope you feel better soon and can go on the cruise. My husband and I have sailed mostly Royal, but have tried NCL, Carnival, and recently MSC. We will be on Venezia next month. All the lines have positive elements and some things that could be better, but we always enjoy cruising. One thing we get on Royal that I agree with you is hard to sacrifice is the free loyalty drinks starting at Royal's Diamond level. Happy cruising to all.

We did not have to on a recent Aurea experience. Just showed up and checked in at front desk. They will also take a reservation .... not sure if necessary on some ships. We were on Meraviglia.

Can you do the check-in on the Carnival app or only online in browser? Thanks.
