Norwegian Jade Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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.

Overall this was a wonderful adventure. So much to see and do! Worst part was the long flights to and from Athens

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

Overall great cruise. Having a Suite was nice especially with concierge and butler service. Felt special. Downsides were unexpected handicapped room, switched tour and desserts.

Jam pack itinerary you'll see a lot in a short time with outstanding service aboard the ship. Jade is the right size.

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.

The cruise experience is overall pleasant, although there are some minor areas to improve for both the cruise (e.g. food as mentioned above) and the port (taxi drivers should be regulated at the Athens port)

It was on my bucket list going to Athens and seeing the islands! It was a good trip!

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

Great cruise with beautiful and unique ports! This was the first European cruise for me and my friend. While we didn't have as many interactions with other guests and there weren't many people in our age group, we had a great time. The food and service was amazing (shoutout to Vanja and Mariano!). Our cabin steward was great but we didn't have towel animals (didn't bother us). We loved being at ports every day and still had time some days to enjoy the pool deck or reading on our balcony. We didn't go to all of the shows because they didn't all interest us but the ones we went to were good. There wasn't quite as much participation in onboard events but we still enjoyed the ones we went to. Definitely try the indian food in the buffet and the caramel cheesecake at Cagneys!

Although my cruise got off to a really bad start, we did enjoy the Ports and activities at each. I might add that cruising has changed a lot and not for the better. In my opinion, you take some cruises for the ship and others for the destinations. This cruise was definitely for the destinations. If I were to judge the cruise line solely by the experience on this ship, (boarding, accommodations, food) then I would not cruise again with Norwegian Cruise Liine.

We booked this through ; which complicated things because we would try to add something or had a question and told to talk to the travel agent; the travel agent couldn't help so we went in circles. We learned the priority pass only gives you priority when there is a tender; however, if you have an excursion, you already have priority tender. And there was zero value for either the embark or disembark. So for us, it was a waste of money. Be careful where you room is located.

Great cruise except for the ship mask mandate. Islands were amazing. Service was great.

First time in Greece. This was a perfect way to see and experience a lot of Greece in a short time.

If your thinking about doing this cruise, DO IT! It was worth every penny!

A relaxing vacation without the privacy moments for adults or play opportunities for the child we were hoping for. Still, wonderful ports, possibly new friends, and great memories.

I would definitely recommend this cruise. If I could make changes, I would add another day in Jerusalem and another day in Istanbul. There were many religious sites to see, and a longer stay at the ports would have been worth the extra cost to extend the itinerary.

never again on the Jade, and after 22 cruises on Norwegian probably never again on them
