Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

THE FOOD WAS AWEFUL EVEN IN THE SPECIALITY RESTAURANTS TOO MANY KIDS NO REAL PLACE TO GET AWAY FROM THE KIDS NOTHING GOING ON ON SEA DAYS THE SHORE EXCURSIONS ARE A SCAM

The ship felt schizophenic. We were in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea on a ship that was completely Hawaiian...even with a statue of King Kamehameha in the main dining room and Hawaiian motif everywhere. Even the jewelry for sale was Caribbean rather than items indiginous to the Mediterranean area.

Professional staff. Very clean ship.

Balcony suite was very roomy and nice.

This was the first time we had a balcony. Though the room was no bigger than those without one the balcony makes the room seem so much larger. I'm sure we will always have a balcony.

I've enjoyed my first cruise and look forward to trying it again someday. Food on board is a major plus and what you would expect from a floating hotel. The captain and officers are regularly seen throughout the ship. Our cruise holiday had gone all too soon when we pulled back in to Civitavecchia... :-(

The food were almost the same everyday. Lobster was served on the first day which was so overcooked. The soup were always too salty.

we enjoyed our Costa cruise very much the host Gary was great every thing was poor food cold no drinks only with meals then you could get your water the entertaintment was good thats all . tha service was poor to say the least.

Waiters did not want to clean the tables and when they did the food was brushed into the chairs. the Spa had Black mole in the shower stalls and hot tub water never got hot

The ship needs to be refurbished. The Hawaiian theme of the ship does not fit this itinerary. Ship has some good things but just average.

Overall average. Nothing spectacular about food or staff. Good price for itinerary.

Wasn't too impressed when I first boarded the ship with the size of the room and the food but after meeting the staff I realized this was a great ship! Got over the size of the room but do wish the food was a little better.

NCL Jade was a friendly and extremely well run ship. We would be happy to journey on her again (though we also like to experience other ships).

A wonderful, fun, relaxing way to celebrate our 42nd anniversary

This JADE is an older ship but very well maintained. This cruise had a very diverse group of fellow passengers. This made cruising more exciting. Staff: Restaurant staff looked tired and over-worked. With free style cruising you dont get same waiter every day, so they dont have this desire to make your experience great. The impression you get from them is more of an I rather be polishing my spoons and plates, than be with you. We have done lot of cruises and this staff attitude was little shocking. I dont want anyone to get me wrong. They were courteous; there is a thin line between gold standard of service and just taking care of the passenger. I would give them 3-out of -5 on Room Steward, and Restaurant Staff. The bar staff and Casino was great (of course ship makes more money here, so had A+ staff here). Entertainment: Very good. Dont miss the last show They got quality performers. Ports: Mediterranean Cruise (Greece, Turkey, and Egypt) Excellent. We were lucky when we reached Greece. It was calm during our stay. Craziness started 2 days after we left. Turkey is very beautiful. Egypt: Lovely. Best port I have visited. There is lot of poverty and people in the streets begging for money and tons of vendors trying to pushing their goods on you but still very friendly and memorable. The overnight excursion was the best thing we did. The hotel they use (Mena House) is gorgeous place. Remember to take lot of $1 bills. Tips and vendors - $1 goes long way in Egypt. Tour Guides: Some of them were working hard to make us buy goods from their favorite vendors and store. They were pushing goods on us. (Esp. in Turkey). At times we were wondering who is pushier Vendors OR Tour guides. NCL seriously need to look into this! Overall Very good Cruise!

The ship is clean but I have missed the animal towel made by room cleaning crew before, this was our third cruise with NCL, they did'nt have it this time.

Clean, friendly staff, excellent entertainment, great ports of call.

The ship was clean, the crew was friendly, this was the best intertainment I've attended on a ship. The excursions where excellent.

We were on the Jade two years ago. Like the size--not too big.

good cruise with great staff and good food
