Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

NCL Jade was a good ship, somewhat dated. Itinerary was terrific. Nice staff. Public areas very clean. Decent food.

Nice cruise and itinerary. The only problem is the shore excursion have too many people and it is hard to hear the tour guide, even with the earphones. I would have liked more shopping in Jerusalem instead of them insisting that we shop in a wood store. I don’t want any wood managers. 🙄

A little bit of everything and well thought out tours. Interesting to see the Suez canal.

Good cruise. Great ports of call. Good food. Good entertainment. Would not hesitate to recommend.

NCL staff prior to the cruise were terribly unhelpful and seemed unaware I was a paying customer deserving of courtesy and respect. The itinerary for the islands was excellent but the shore excursions were not well organized--it seemed like they had never done them before. The 3 South African ports prior to Cape Town were some place between wretched and so so. Food was mostly bland and boring. I bought extra specialty dinners so I could treat friends to my birthday dinner but was not allowed to use them for my friends. We ate in the "included" dining room instead. Bummer.

The good parts - the ship, the entertainment, the ports of call. The bad part - the food was like a diner on the water. This line has a million gimmicks to get your money and everyone I spoke to paid a different price for similar cabins.

Great service. Beautiful places. Lot of fun. We had a wonderful experience.

It was very well done, great ship, excellent personnel, very smooth sailing. Loved my cabin, and especially the balcony. Great shore excursions and excellent food. Getting 5 at sea and the ability to prepay meant that I left the ship with a bill of $6.36. Made me feel I was at an all-inclusive. No surprises. Other than the rug I was forced to buy I was able to keep within my budget for shopping and was so encouraged that I participated in the cruise next program. I was very impressed with the clientele loyalty. I have been on several different ships but never heard the brand loyalty that I heard until this cruise.

Overall enjoyed the cruise, would definitely do some things different if I ever went back.

Excellent itinerary. Santorini was magnificent. The history in these ports is exceptional Jerusalem, Ephesus, Athens, Cyprus etc

This trip was a big bucket item. Visiting the Holy land was a top priority, and it was awesome. Would like to return & spend some more time. It all goes very quickly. Each stop was amazing, and we enjoyed every port. There was 6 of us and we created alot of family memories.

Cruise was booked before covid. Could not get a refund from Norwegian. Cost twice as much when we did go. Did not receive any of the promises for later travel.

Got to see a number of interesting/historic places quite comfortably and conveniently

It was a fantastic trip and out of the ordinary, would recommend .

Beautiful scenery and nice cabin. The staff does not help you at all nor can they understand you! The difference from a NCL line and the Princess line is Princess you are important and they will do everything to make you happy. The last day everyone on our floor received chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine except us. When my husband tried to get ours no one understood what he was saying. He was not happy with NCL!

It was okay, but I WILL NEVER book another cruise excursion through United. I will stick to Virgin I think from here on out.

Piers were great. Drinks were excellent. Food was severely lacking in quality and flavor. So much so I may rethink traveling in NCL again.

NCL did not notify us of port iternary change until we received our daily port briefing letter the night of the start of our cruise. NCL lacked communication regarding the debacle of the Santorini excursion with no resolve or compensation. Lack of onboard show entertainment was evident also with very limited port stays. Our personal rating, compared to other cruise lines we had taken, rate NCL last. Would not recommend to family or friends. Excursions we booked thru NCL seemed to end thru a gauntlet of predator shops with aggressive sales people.

booking this trip was a nightmare. I did not know if I had a flight until 2 weeks prior. I contacted to be put on hold for hour. My cruise person Kenyon Kee never acknowledged me or return any emails or phone calls. Iwould never work with himagain. I cannot believe how stressful this was. I would have to find another way to travel on Norweigian. I also was assured I would be on United Airlines and didn't get this. I spoke with other people and they said they did not get there flight until the last minute and they couldnot connect with their travel person.

Wonderful. Weather was too hot. Got dizzy and sick while going to island excursion. Did not like twnders
