Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
For a smaller ship, the Jade offered a nice variety of different food stations in the buffet.
The main dining rooms were well staffed and also offered a nice variety of good. tasting quality food. Cagney's Steakhouse consistently offers passengers the specialty dining experience across
the fleet. Teppanyaki offers both good quality Japanese food as well as an entertaining show, I also ate at Moderno's Churrascaria which served up a delicious salad bar, as well as a large variety of delicious cooked to ordered meats that were cut straight from the skewers to the plate. I found the food in all the locations to be well prepared, severed at the appropriate temperatures and delicious.

Service and Staff

Room Steward was outstanding.
The entire crew were fantastic! The crew were always smiling and friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make any reasonable request a reality. General Manager could have been more attentive in recognizing some of the longtime Latitude Members.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Small older ship that has some "uniqueness" built into it's quirky design such as having to reach one deck by going up and then down to get to where you need to be as there is no direct access by simply staying on the same deck. A minor annoyance if one is in a hurry but the extra exercise does one well.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
An ocean view cabin with a porthole and an actual hatch to block out the daylight!!!
First time ever that I've had a porthole which was a unique and pleasant experience.
Ship tip
Easy to get from one end of the ship to the other. Ship is for relaxing without a lot of bells and whistles.
By far the easiest and the fastest embarkation I have ever done! First time utilizing the Tampa Bay Cruise Terminal and I was very impressed by the friendliness and the efficiency of everyone working in unison to get passengers off the ship, through the terminal and on their way.
