She normally repositions from Caribbean (cruises) to the Mediterranean in April, we did this 20 night cruise this year from Miami to NY across the Atlantic and disembarking at Rome (Civitaveccia).

I suggest you contact MSC direct.

I can go Neenee61, just send me the invite please? :)

Well folks, who said gambling doesn't pay. I rec'd an invitation from P&O yesterday launching their new Casino loyalty program and have been offered a free cruise for 2, outside and unobstructed view with ongoing VIP treatment (free drinks etc). Cruise is for 9 nights on Jewel - July 15. Really peeved as I can't go as just arrived back last week from B2B to Middle East & India on RCCL. I think there new program will offer lots & lots of freebies from now on even though must say was treated very nicely on previous cruises using my Carnival VIP card. Anyone else receive this offer.

So I would like this thread to be a take-off on boards about ships in RCI. If anyone has any tips, advice, etc. about this ship it would be greatly appreciated. I will start it off with a few questions.

 

Where are the best places to be for good nightlife? What types of events do they have at the pool deck? How is the service and food as compared to other RCI ships? Is the ship up-to-date and well-kept? Does it feel small as compared to other RCI ships? Where is the best place to hang out during the day? Where are the best bars and lounges?

 

I look forward to everyone's input.

Thank you for taking me on your journey Jim. I have not struck a blow all day at work. And now will get ready to finish for the day and will toast your Carol tonight with a glass of red. Again thanks for the trip and the memories.

We went on board Pacific Jewel in Sydney yesterday Sat 7 Aug 2010 for a tour and lunch and I took heaps of photos and have posted some in a Facebook album entitled Pacific Jewel that any one can take a look at just by clicking on the below link. You don't need to be a member of facebook to see these.
