Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Read above. I pretty much explained everything in detail.

Average, ports are great but the food and service are average on the cruise The paid restaurants onboard were better however, being a ship targeting US residents, the buffet selection and other free restaurants were average

The ports were great, however I would have prefered an overnight port and left out a port. Dinning and entertainment was below average. The ship did not have have any fun gathering spaces.

We did this cruise with another family with cruised many many times these sites that we saw were the most beautiful ever

Would not cruise NCL again. Nothing more to Say. Disappointing experience

Best way to travel to Europe!!! Good value and great comfort! Time changes were easy to get used to. The Jade was fine. The ports of call were great. Would do this cruise again!!!

Fun cruise! The ship size was great, really good layout and some fantastic entertainment in the Lounges/bars.

This 2019 transatlantic cruise on NCL Jade is most significant, not only based on the fact that my wife and I got on board this cruise ship right after getting off our Delta flight from Amsterdam at JFK on the same day, but from the vantage point where we stand now in 2021 after a full year of being grounded from being allowed to take any more cruise. I wish to thank NCL Jade for giving us, my wife and me, this life-time experience on NCL Jade, right before the Chinese virus struck the whole world.

Found we really like transatlantic cruises for seeing a lot at a comfortable pace. We booked another one for next year.

Overall I would choose to cruise with Norwegian again (maybe a bigger ship size) and would definitely opt in for a haven suite, the staff is amazing and Norwegian would do anything to make sure you have a great experience.

I'll never go on a smaller ship again It seems like all the attention. Is on the bigger ships Thankfully I have fun friends or it would've been a different turnout.

Great cruise. Staff was extremely nice. Had fun on the Easter cruise. They had a scavenger hunt for the kids that led to the Easter bunny and a prize. Food was good even when some items are repeated in the buffet. We liked all the ports with the exception of Nassau. After going to the Bahamas several times it gets boring. I wasn’t going to pay over $200 to visit the beach at Atlantis. Ended up going to Cabbage beach which isn’t the best beach. Got the umbrella and chair down to $20 from the $40.

I’ve been on it’s sister ship, the Pearl. Like them both. The Jade, I believe was the “Pride of America” in Hawaii, is a nice ship. My only complaint is the Specialty Dinner Reservations. We boarded early and the best reservations (times) were booked. The heartache I had was that those times and restaurants seemed to be available. I think what happens is that people book those, then decide not to go and never make a cancellation. So the board alway show fully booked. I wish the reservation rules would have a show up time deadline and incorporate a stand-by system. Where if a party doesn’t show up 10-15 minutes after their reservation, it’s voided and folks in the stand-by list would be given those seats. Part of the problem could have been the number of folks with “status” that was on the cruise. Also, like someone else said. It was a smaller boat and it did cater to a more mature group; although it was during spring break.

First NCL Cruise. We had a great time. Visited 6 ports. Barbados was our favorite followed by Puerto Rico. Room steward was GREAT! Very attentive and always made sure we had enough ice & towels. Service was sometimes slow at dinner but no biggie. Will be cruising on larger & newer NCL ship soon.

Our previous cruise was aboard the Escape, a much bigger ship. Jade is much less crowded, and seems to cater to an older crowd. Jade had more of the big shows, but Escape had more "night life" kinds of activities, like a lounge with dueling pianos and stand up comedians. We were comfortable with both ships, but they are very different experiences. For the most part, this cruise had excellent ports of call. The one exception was Saint Maarten. Had we known about the continuing devastation due to the storm, we would have simply booked an excursion to a beach. The Excursion Desk staff told us they changed our excursion because Orient Beach was devastated. By that logic, the ship never should have gone to this island. However, I support the idea of going there, to help them boost their economy. But, you still want to have a good time, so choose your excursions carefully. The islands are beautiful, and the weather this time of year is perfect.

This was a great cruise and we can't wait to do it again...

This was our second cruise with NCL (third cruise overall). We will be trying another cruiseline so that we can see what differences are out there. The vast majority of our experiences were positive. Most of the shore excursions were GREAT. The nightly entertainment was WONDERFUL. I do recommend this cruise.

Jade is a smaller ship but very nice, the crew was great. Shows were very good. Enjoyed the food in the specialty restaurants.

We enjoyed this cruise. 10 days was perfect. We enjoyed having 2 sea days at the end of the trip. We didn't feel rushed to get our things packed.
