Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I want to indicate that after 30/45 minutes later your ship docked to the Port.I highly recommend you to meet ur guides or drivers , So, you might beat the crowds and hot weather in order to have a better experience during your Tours or travellings around the city.

Nice ship , great crew . Recommend booking excursions early … some ports like Kefalonia , no taxis , nothing

Gorgeous scenery and warm friendly people in Greece. Also great food and shopping. The ship was beautiful. Excellent staff. Great shows.

We enjoyed most things about the cruise. We enjoyed the ship. The food was good to excellent. Unfortunately, two ports were so far away we decided against traveling into the city. Missed seeing BanI am not sure the visit to Cambodia was worth the price of the VISA. May visit Cambodia again visit other areas. Recently saw an article in the New York Times that identified Kampot Cambodian as one of 53 places a tourist should visit. Kampot is only an hour away from Sihanoukville. Had we known that we would have arranged to visit there. Missed seeing Bangkok and Kula Lampur. Enjoyed staying overnight in two ports. I wish we had stayed overnigh in Phuket. There was a lot there to enjoy. Go, enjoy. Focus on the positives and let go of the minor annoyances.

Keeping a travel log helped me remember things about each port as after the 6th or 7th one they all seem to merge together. Our group thoroughly enjoyed this cruise - this is our first one so we don't have anything to compare against but I would not hesitate to cruise Norwegian Line again. There were not many young families on board; I don't think the Jade caters for young children like other ships do. Beware the Spa - can turn out to be very expensive. Enjoy yourself, it's why you're there.

well it's wad wonderful getting ready for my next one,hopefully the next one will be ad good as the jade

We loved our 10 night cruise with every port being a good port. The ship was very clean with the staff in good spirits and very happy which always makes for a good cruise. Best restaurant and food to be found is the French restaurant the steak was the best ever onboard a ship. The rest of the food was very good with one exception the English bacon in the buffet. The shows good but getting old and music would not be everyone’s taste. This our second time on Jade and would go again.

The food was great. The staff was wonderful the ship was clean. We had lots of fun. The pool parties were great. There’s lots of space to sit outside.

Cruises the NCL Jade on January 10th (5 day western Caribbean) I was so surprised that the ship felt bigger than it is, yet it was not too crowded. The food was excellent both in the main dining/buffet and also the specialty dining. I had an issue with the cabin next door arguing late at night. Called Guest Services and they took care of the issue within minutes. Our cabin was also one of the cleanest cabins so far in all our cruises!

I would certainly recommend and would have no problem sailing on The Jade again.

We boarded this ship after the previous cruise was canx in Puerto Rico. The food was delicious. I think the Garden cafes lunch buffet was better than dinner. Breakfast was good as well. Quite a variety of food. Ate at 4 specialty restaurants: LeBistro, La Cucina, Moderno and Cagneys. All were good. But, I especially liked Cagneys. Steak was like butter. Alizar, Jasmine, O'Shehans and Grand Pacifics food wss also exceptional. Cruise Director Vincent and his staff are the best! Lots of info provided, lots of games, music, shows provided. Crew members were very friendly and professional. We stayed in Miami an extra day and missed Cartagena due to the mechanical issues. They were charging us the port and other taxes. After a few complaints, NCL decided to eat that cost for everyone on board. Very good Panama Canal Cruise. The Jade was clean, staff very nice, food outstanding. Thanks NCL.

Great food, great cabin, fantastic views , spectacular scenery. A lifetime ambition wonderfully fulfilled.

Fantastic itinerary. really enjoyed all ports but especially Norway and Iceland

Nice modern ship, nice bar staff, lots of activities and entertainment. Dining mixed. Captain was poor, no communication- very lazy

this was my first cruise with my daughter, sister-in-laws and niece. When we got to the check-in we found ourselves in a line that took over 3 hours to get checked in and another 3 hours before we left the port. There was no announcement made indicating why we were leaving so late. The service at the bar was very poor, I was never waited on, so I left. We had dinner reservations at the Avitar and they told us we couldn't make reservations, well we made them on line. The first day at sea we had to make up time so the boat was really rocky making us feel sea sick. Because we left port so late we never made our shore excursion in Cozumel. Day 3 we had to be up early to get in another line for tickets to be tendered to shore. What really makes me mad is if you bought your shore excursion on the ship you got the first tender off the ship, that sucked! Day 4 we had to use the ship tenders, there were only 4 running passengers back and forth. because we missed our first shore excursion we were given tickets for the 3rd group to be tendered off, really? When we got in line foe the tender we discovered the person taking the tickets didn't care what number she was taking so people that were in the 13th group were going ahead of us. Obviously that system didn't work! We ate a lot of our meals at the buffet because the service at the dining rooms were very slow. We did go to the Blue Lagoon and order lunch on our last day aboard the ship, we were the first ones to be seated. Our order was taken and there we sat. The waitress had taken all the orders of all the tables that were hers and placed them all at once. When she put the order in she put them in in reverse, so we got our soup, but not the rest of our meal, we got up and left after sitting an hour and a half waiting. I even got up and got my own water and continued to service other people that also were out of water. For my first cruise I expected more.

Over-all, I thought the ports of call were excellent.  The food I would rate as good (not excellent).  The employees on the boat were friendly and helpful.  The entertainment was good with the acrobats from Poland standing out over the group.

What impressed me the most was the entrance and exit from the boat which I thought was very well organized.
