Now remember.. this is MY opinion

, but since you asked I MUCH prefer the Jewel of the Seas. She's more beautiful! A great size, and much better layout than the Golden.
You're doing a WONDERFUL itinerary, and it should be a fantastic cruise though.
In comparing, the only things I'd give the Golden a large edge on, is food quality.... and the advantage of Personal Choice (Anytime Dining).
On the itin that you're doing, I'd HIGHLY recommend taking advantage and doing PC. No rushing to dinner after long day port days!
