A new booking! Cruise no. 17

[jacketwatch]

Its a long way out but we booked a 7 day cruise for Feb. 3 2020 out of Dubai. This has been a dream destination for some time and took advantage of RCI's sale of 60% off second passenger. The port stops are Abu Dhabi, Doha in Qatar, Bahrain and Sir Bani Yas. We have an amidships balcony in one of those bump out cabins. really looking forward to this cruise and we will certainly spend some time in Dubai too!

Not such a long way out....just about a year...  what ship will this be on?  It sounds fabulous!

It’s RCI’s Jewel of the Seas. 

Its about 962 ft. long, 90 something tons, certainly not like the more modern ships but it’s the itinerary that’s appealng and I am sure the ship is nice enough. 

Im looking forward to experiencing a part of the world we hear a lot about but one I’ve never been to.

It may be a year away, Larry, but planning is half the fun, and you’ll have plenty of time to do just that!?

Hey Larry, it's great to see you and CONGRATS on your booking.  Hope to see you around here often once again!

[AndiD]

I have heard that the Jewel is a nice ship - I'm sure you will have a great time!

Congratulations Larry on your new booking!

And now airfare! I know it’s too early to book but I’m looking at biz saver awards on UAL for as far out as they go now, the first two weeks of January and in a matter of hours poof! what was available is gone. Weird. All I can say is I’ll be vigilant and jump on it when and if it becomes available.

Sounds like a great itinerary Larry.  We are always looking for new places to visit.  You will love the Jewel, we have sailed on her many times and are huge fans of the Radiance class ships, they're just the perfect size!

We are looking f/w to this cruise. Weather wise should be low to mid 80's so really good. I have looked into excursions. Lots of romps in the desert on 4x4's.  Surprise! ?
