Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Norwegian's shore excursions were the highlight of our 10-day Eastern Mediterranean cruise. Additionally, the cruise director's history lessons and venue preparations for our trips ashore we're phenomenal. The service of waitresses and cabin personnel was also 5-star. We thoroughly enjoyed two of the evening entertainments. And the Norwegian Jade's band was spectacular ... the best we've ever heard or seen. The dining room meals, however, lacked the quality we had previously experience on the Norwegian Epic. As well, the day's events while at sea didn't seem to offer as much variety or appeal as did the Epic's agenda. I was so disappointed that the Jade did not offer an afternoon tea.

This was a great cruise. The first two days were a little rough at sea, but that's due to the time of year and we understand that. The captain was very timely and got us to our destinations on time every time. The crew were friendly and there was always plenty of food. We will do it again w/the same cruise line but next time a warmer destination. :)

The ports were great. We had good weather. The food was OK, but not great. We had a very poor excursion to Jerusalem, which was a shame. We learned later that we could have easily caught the train and used taxis while we were there, which would have been less than half as much and we would have been able to spend more time in the old city. This was a special case, however,since the ship overnighted in Haifa. We took the tour to Jerusalem on Friday, and by the time we got to the old city everything was closing down for Shabat. The first day, was a Thursday and we took the train from Haifa to Tel Aviv on our own and had a lovely day.

The design was fantastic. It had Dale Chihuly glass and many exciting places to sit and enjoy.

Clean, spacious and friendly staff.

Disapointed in sevice and tours

We sailed on the Norwegian Jade which is a sister ship to other ships we've been on. The size of the ship is quite manageable - not too big or too small. One of the features we really enjoy is the spa at the front of the boat and were happy to see that NCL now offers a deal if a couple signs up for the week. For $198 we had full access to the saunas, pools, showers, etc...all of which had wonderful ocean views. Overall the ship was clean and orderly and easy to get around. There were plenty of dining options and bar venues as well.

The ship was clean and the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. It was clean and there was a constant urgency of ensuring that the public entering restaurants and other public areas had their hands sanitised to avoid spreading disease. The staff were always there to help.

Great trip. Smooth cruise. Inside small cabin has more room if you have twin beds. Delta Skymiles was great.

The personnel on the ship were very helpful and friendly

Overall the ship was clean, cabin staff professional, but buffet dinning mediocre. Thank goodness for the main dinning menus and food.

The ship was beautiful and the amenities were top notch. The service was great and so was the food. I enjoyed all visiting all of the Greek Isles as well as Venice. The excursions organized by Norwegian were very exciting and well priced. Unfortunately, some of the excursions that involved hiking or biking (or any type of strenuous physical activity) were cancelled because there weren't enough people willing to sign up. In my opinion this may be due to the fact that there weren't enough young people on the boat. We are in our late twenties and we found that the night club and the other social areas were empty and lacking a lively crowd.

The ship is quite good and the team is good too. They offer good food and entertainment. The gym is large enough and properly equipped. Everything is kept clean and shiny. Staff is friendly and helpful. On the negative side, some of speciality restaurants (French, steakhouse) are nothing special and one could get better services in the main restaurant for free whereas Asian/Japanese restaurants are quite good and forth visiting. Shore excursions are quite expensive and usually not forth the money - it is cheaper to rent a car on the shore for a few hours and explore islands on your own.

This was our first cruise and it will not be last.The ship was very nice and staff were very friendly. We were in mini suite with our 9 months old baby and it was very comfortable.

freestyle means they try to nickel and dime you on everything,soda water expresso etc freestyle means wait 45 minutes for a table unless you go to their pay extra restaurants no chairs on cruise days,instead of relaxing it was like fighting on jones beach ship is very nice,clean,staff was great entertainment was fun for all ages

Beautiful facility; great food; friendly and professional stateroom staff and dining room staff; wonderful seminars onboard.

excelent cruise!!!!

We enjoyed the ship - very very clean, very very friendly and enthusiastic staff - restaurant food was very good, buffet food was good - shows were good - excursions were good - except for the carpet factory - spa package for week use of spa was great & relaxing - overall we had a wonderful time -

The itinerary was great, and most of the on-board entertainment was really fun. The performers in all of the shows were great, and I was never bored. But, there were almost constant announcements over the PA in guestroom areas that woke me up in the morning and during daytime/evening naps (it was our honeymoon, we needed rest!). The content of the announcements was always unnecessary and repeated in 7 languages.

Loved the cruise-we took our little boy with us for his 4th birthday and it was GREAT! We had a mini-suite and it was perfect size-would advise if taking children-gives them enough space of their own. The mini suite has a bathtub which made going back to the room to bath easier since he could still swim! The staff was amazing-everyone was outgoing and polite. For food we enjoyed had lots of fresh fruit and yogurt. Only big down fall was the buffet area would get extremely crowded and there was no seating at times-we usually ate in the kids corner at the small tables-which was fine with us.
