Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

There were 4 of us, various ages and all found ample and appropriate entertainment. One of us had been on a part of this cruise before and so was familiar with some of the ports. This made things a lot easier. The Jade is nice, and it is relaxed as well. A nice time for us to enjoy ourselves with few worries.....

Our earlier cruises have been to the Carribean and "mainland" Europe, which I loved. Going to two ports in Croatia, a day in Athens,Greece and Ephesus, Turkey, though, was an exciting change, a bit off the beaten path, a touch exotic. In Dubrovnik we went with an oyster fisherman, a retired army officer, in his boat to pluck fresh oysters off of his lines in the sea. We ate the oysters on the half shell with just a squeeze of juice from a huge lemon from his garden followed by a glass of white wine made by his father-in-law while we bobbed around in the sparkling water. I'm not an oyster eater but these were delicious ! Also enjoyed walking through the Game of Thrones filming locations in old town Dubrovnik, too. Turkey had its own beauty with its fruit trees and olive trees growing up the sides of the mountain. Taste the turkish bakalava - different from the Greek version- turkish delight and fig cakes. And how can you top a morning visit to the Parthanon with that piercing, blue sky as a backdrop to the gleaming white marble ?  A wonderful cruise, with just enough sea days to rest up for our next adventure.   

Embarkation and disembarkation was poorly planned...if at all. Service people were rude. Meals were horrible. Imagine ordering coffee that turns grey when creamer is added....when the staff was questioned their reply was \"this is all we have\" pointed to a stainless carafe that obviously contained coffee brewed many hours ago.

Enjoyed our stateroom, it was located on the aft of the ship. We were able to store our belongings without issue. The bathroom/shower were perfect size. The overall ship was maintained they were even replacing carpet in a few places during out cruise.

Unforgettable Easter season Mediterranean cruise with some unique ports.

Great cruise...great locations!

The ship was very clean and attractive. It DID have a definite Hawaiian theme which was a bit odd on the Mediterranean, but it wasn't a problem.

Very pleasant but for the poor air quality. Smoking is allowed on board which results in toxic air quality particularly on sea days.

Non-english speaking crew is well-meaning, but inept. Robo-tips are an insult (be sure to have yours pulled on the last day). Many ports require taxi or bus to reach civlilization. NCL does not provide transit for non-excursion folks. Shore excursions are, for the most part, over-priced and uninspired. Food is unpalatable - even in the premium restaurants. Try another cruise line if the trip really matters to you.

Clean and very friendly-after years of cruising N.C.L. has done a great job on making us feel they are truly trying to keep up with all the nasty people.The workers swept,sprayed,washed 24-7.Always smiling, even when I had more questions, from money exchange to the food.The free style is the way to go for dining. Excellent system!

Our room was perfect and the staff were excellent.Free style cruising is a great concept but the quality of food in the individual restaurants could have been better.

This was the most amazing trip we have ever had nothing was to much trouble all the ships staff were amazing the entertainment was seconds to none the food was fantastic excellent value for money.

can honestly say first class and a massive thank you 

we have done more than 100 cruises so far and had many with NCL While the  overall cruise was OK,food in choice and quality has been lowered again.Almost every day the same food gets a bit boring after a few days.Pay restaurants are excellent in quality and service.

The rest is as everywhere,nice cabin,friendly personell,good shows,some of the ports were just boring,like Mallorca,Olympia,Toulon

Yes we will cruise again but,very selectiv.

Looked liked it should be in Hawaii. Could use some updating.

See above.

This is my second cruise with NCL and will not be my last. They are pros at this and none do it better

The ship itself was comfortable and contained a great variety of places to spend your time.

This was the most amazing vacation. I would recommend this itinerary to any of my friends and you cannot get a better deal than to cruise to these places. My number one recommendation is to get involved with the cruise activities, that is what made this trip so memorable for us. Also, I liked the flexibility of freestyle dining, but since there was only the 2 of us, it would have been nice to have the option of sitting with some new friends.

Nice ship with good rooms. Needs a makeover though since it still has the Hawaiin theme.

Very good selections and excellent service in main dining room. Attractive ship decor
