Editorial Summary

Jordan from JJ Cruz provides an update regarding a jewelry shop incident involving a passenger on Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas. The creator revisits a previous report where a gentleman was allegedly pressured into purchasing a high-end watch after a shop employee removed links to show how it would fit. New details reveal that the price of the watch was never discussed or negotiated before the employee began resizing the item. The creator explains that many onboard shops, including jewelry and spa services, are operated by third-party companies rather than the cruise line itself. Despite initial resistance from the shop and claims from guest services that nothing could be done, the creator met with the affected couple to discuss the situation. The update concludes with the news that guest services acted as a liaison with the shop manager, which ultimately allowed the couple to return the watch and receive a full refund. The creator notes that several viewers have reported similar issues with shops on this specific ship.

Creator's Key Takeaways

a couple went to look at jewelry at one of the shops on board a gentleman was looking at a watch the shop employee that was helping this gentleman with the watch offered to take links out

once the links were out basically forced the gentleman into purchasing the watch when he said he did not want to buy the watch he he was then threatened saying that security was going to get called

the shop employee just offered to resize the watch or just look at the watch so it could fit a little bit better on the gentleman's wrist before ever even talking about a sale

thanks to Guest Services who acted as a liaison with the shops manager they did end up returning the watch and getting a full refund on the watch
