Review summary

Overall, our cruise was enjoyable and the service was impeccable. There were a few items that I would like to mention I found disappointing. I have been on over a dozen cruises in the past and found that the NCL Jade had smaller cabins, fewer selections for dinner service, and fewer daily activities on board then other cruise lines. I must add that the Jade is a smaller cruise liner with less people that the larger liners. There was inadequate information given about the ports of call (only one information session the first day about the entire 9 day cruise). The time on the islands was abbreviated, with some of them having to back on the ship as early as 2:30. And the last comment I have is the dress code for the dining rooms. I found it much to casual. Maybe I'm old fashioned but, for dinner service in the dining rooms proper attire should be enforced. Shorts, tee shirts, and flip flops should not be allowed. That style of dress should be reserved for the buffet or by the pool deck only.

Service was top notch. Staff was very friendly.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship is confusing to get around. The common areas were always very clean. We tried to use the casino but were driven out by the cigarette smoke.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Clean and efficient, but small.

Ship tip

cruisers should research your ports of call online prior to the cruise. Not much information was disseminated on the ship about the islands unless you ask for it specifically..
