Review summary

The Jade was a nice ship but it showed its age by its size and things to do. For the most part the food was excellent except for the last night's dinner, apparently our waiter had a bad day and they seemed to forgotten how to cook a steak to order. All the other meals were great, keep in mind the last night was an "extra" night do to the mechanical issue.

We didn't do much except walk the port because of what we heard about issues outside the port.

We did the Seven Fathoms Distillery and Hell excursion. The distillery was OK but I can understand the negative reviews for "Hell", it was somewhat underwhelming.

Found good deals on souvenirs and such outside the port area.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
Because of a mechanical issue with the ship we got into port to late and had to birth at another pier because the one we should have docked at was occupied. NCL bused us to the parking garage, BUT, it seemed disorganized and the bus drive went to the incorrect parking lot.
