While you could certainly spend the entirety of your cruise reading poolside or snoozing on a sun deck, there are plenty of entertainment options available. During the day, you can also take part in game shows or catch a movie in the onboard cinema. At night, you won't have to search too hard to find a little music, from live music in the Lobby or Schooner Bar to disco or salsa music in the Safari Club. There are also nightly productions in the Coral Theater, which include things like cabaret shows, Broadway-style productions, and magic shows. Don't forget to check out the schedule so you can participate in the ship's theme nights!    

There is no shortage of things to do aboard the Jewel of the Seas as you sail between ports.

A spacious fitness center offers tons of cardio and strength training equipment as well as a variety of fitness classes like Body Sculpt and Fab Abs. You can also opt to expand your horizons with dance classes, language lessons, and even sushi-making classes. Those who prefer less active pastimes can relax in the adults-only Solarium or find a cozy spot to read in the Library and Card Room.

The Vitality at Sea Spa makes it possible for guests of the Jewel of the Sea to make time for a little pampering while sailing between ports.
