Review summary

The Jade definitely has a unique vibe which we really enjoyed. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the mega ships, but we were never lacking for things to do and being a bit less crowded was nice. The Spinnaker lounge at the front of the ship was a wonderful place to enjoy a drink and the view!

Embarkation

Super fast and easy. We were sitting in O'sheehans before noon enjoying lunch and a drink.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the main dining room, the buffet, Cagney's and Tepanyaki. Food and service were great everywhere. The Grand Pacific main dining room is quite beautiful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots to do! Even on sea days we didn't find the pool overcrowded, and could always find a lounge chair.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Blazin' Boots was exceptional, the music was so good. The other shows were also good, acrobats, illusionist, and the elements show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Never had a bad encounter. We always felt appreciated.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Being a medium sized ship it was easy to navigate. Very clean everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our balcony cabin was very well laid out. A little tight, but was fine. Definitely enjoyed the first cup of coffee each morning on the balcony.

Ship tip

Our cabin was on deck 9, so it was easy to take the stairs to the pool or to the atrium deck.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

Did a cooking class with Josefina. It was the best experience! We met her son at the central market to buy the things we needed and learn some great tips. Then on to their house where we spent the next couple hours cooking, learning, and laughing. Such an amazing time with wonderful people.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

We rented a cabana which was worth it for us. Nice to have a home base while enjoying the island.

Port Canaveral, Florida

George Town, Grand Cayman

Some great snorkeling here. Did the reef and shipwreck through the cruise line and it was great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest and easiest disembarkation we've experienced. It appears the bugs have been worked out of the facial recognition technology so it was very efficient.
