[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475210821741{padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”]Jewel of the Seas, which debuted in 2004, is the fourth of Royal Caribbean’s Radiance-class ships. It features Royal Caribbean innovations such as a rock-climbing wall, Solarium pool and the expansive Adventure Ocean kids’ facility. Adorned with lovely dark woods throughout countered by an infusion of glass and light, and with public areas having a nautical theme, the ship’s design is striking. Jewel also has an impressive art collection.

[fa type=”group”] Families
Adventure Ocean, Jewel’s kids’ program, is housed in a sprawling facility that extends to a pool with a slide. Kids are divided into five groups: Aquanauts (three to five years), Explorers (six to eight years), Voyagers (nine to 11 years), Navigators (12 to 14 years) and Guests (15 to 17 years) and tons of fun activities await them. Key components of the program (for the thee- to 11-year-olds) include Adventure Science, Adventure Art by Crayola, Sail Into Story Time and Adventure Family. My Family Time Dining is open to passengers who select first seating in the main dining room. Children have 40-minute dinners before the Adventure Ocean staff pick up the kids and bring them to the youth spaces so parents can enjoy leisurely meals.
