Review summary

The ship lacks the "wow" factor. I found it kind of boring too. Good thing that we only had one day at sea. I like that it didn't feel crowded. Also, there is no need for shows reservations like other ships. Overall, the ship is ok to take from point A to point B.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized and easy.

Jasmine Garden

3 out of 5

The food was ok. Fried rice found it salty. The restaurant was complimentary, but there is an extra charge if you order sushi.

Grand Pacific

The menu was not varied.

Service and Staff

Unfortunately, no one went above and beyond when providing service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Jade is a very simple ship easy to get around and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bed occupies most of the space in the cabin. There is not much space between bed and wall. Desk space is ridiculously limited. Love the bathroom, though. Toilet on one side shower on the other both have door.

Ship tip

Pieces of advice: 1. Do not bring too many things for the room. There is no space. 2. Do not bring any door decor. They are not permitted. 3. Do not expect too much from crew members.

No decor period. There was an instance that there was some refrigerator letters and even those were removed.

No door decor or just certain ones that can damage the door finish?
