Review summary

Not the best cruise I\we have taken, but close to the worse.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
took real long time to .go thru the back and forth line. 1 1/2 hours from entering first doors

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
only 3 out of seven were enjoyable. There was nothing special that we didn't eat at home except prime rib, leg of lamb, and rolled veal cutlet. The rest were bland.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Had a short squatty Filipino that did not come back to the table once after serving meal. No water refill, no ice tea refill, or no questioning of "Is the meal satisfactory?" Which it wasn't.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
too sensual for children. other cruise lines had adult shows later in the night.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
in buffet there was a girl from Belise that was not very friendly. Room steward was excellent.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
music venues were similar. Should have Caribbean, jazz, r&b, and classic venues.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
inside cabin. not much room to stand between bed and wall. enjoyed the larger shower better than any other cruise line in inside cabin.

Ship tip

If you can, go when school is not out. Kids were running all around ship and hallways. I am surprised none of the waiters carrying bulky trays laden with meals did not trip over one. Night time was absolutely noisy with kids running the hallways after 11:00pm

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
fastest disembarkation of any cruise line we have ever used. I was shocked at how quick we were off. Maybe they wanted to get rid of us. LOL.

How long were you stuck on this ship? We did a 7 day cruise on it a couple years ago. We were bored out of our minds! And it was so cold! We couldn't enjoy the pool, kids over ran the hot tub. Food wasn't great. The room was our only escape but even then all on tv was infomercial on buying crap we didnt want from the gift shop. I feel like all there was to do was drink. And i didnt drink at all on the jade so there wasn't anything else to do. The ports were nice though.

Kind of looking forward to a more “adult” show rather than a kid friendly affair which is why we booked Norwegian and not Carnival or Disney.

This person sounds very entitled! (Unfriendly girl from Belize in the buffet)?
