Review summary

If your thinking about doing this cruise, DO IT! It was worth every penny!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The specialty restaurants were amazing! I can't even pick a favorite! Pay the extra $70 for extra meals it's worth it. They celebrated my birthday everytime! If your on the Jade say hi to Henry he will always take care of you!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Super ton of things to do on board. From the Canvas By U which was 100% worth it, to the solo events and the LGBT get together! Didn't hit the fitness center but they definitely try to get you at the spa.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The only entertainment I saw when I was on board was at the martini bar. The musical acts were amazing! It's a nice place to unwind at night.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Unfortunately, this port was canceled so I can't rate it but it won't let me save it unless I rate it....

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was 100% but my man Henry was the best one! He always remembered me. Everyone was super friendly always cleaning and ensuring I was taken care of!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and updated. They even cleaned the railings!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin was 10074 and was super quiet and spacious. It was super clean and well maintained! Make sure you test the water first it can be super hot!

Ports of call

Santorini, Greece

5 out of 5
This port was nice from what I saw. Unfortunately, I had to cut it 4 hours short as well as my excursion due to having to get tested to re-enter the USA. We recommend to NCL that as long as this is in effect to push the testing to later so people could finish the excursions.

Ashdod, Israel

5 out of 5
This was the most annoying port to enter. They made everyone get off ship to do a "face to face" with immigration which ended up being passport control. Then everyone had to be back on the ship until the port cleared the ship so then everyone could get off the ship again for excursions. Then, they give you a slip of paper, from passport control and if you loose it, well just know it won't be good for you so everyone was checking on if they had it every 30 mins. But it was a nice place.

Haifa, Israel

5 out of 5
Same as the other port not a ton of frills but easier since we went through the mess at the first port.

Limassol, Cyprus

5 out of 5
By far my favorite port! This city has everything from the relaxation to the hustle and bustle.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

5 out of 5
This port was the first one and it was nice. But lord the hills were scary on the bus!

Patmos, Greece

5 out of 5

Piraeus (Athens), Greece
