and it did as each night there where at most a dozen diners wondering where their quick burger is, oh and 25 Dollars to use the Steak restaurant, empty every night, in fact don't bother pre-booking your alternative restaurants online, with the exception of Teppanyak, they were empty 

The shows are 2 sittings - 19:30 and 21:30 so work your dining around that, we found the 2 main restaurant did the job for us at eating 19:30 for the 21:30 show then straight up to Spinnakers for the later entertainment, all OK really but don't get to the show 5 minutes before it starts, you will be watching it standing at the back, incredible how the majority all turned up at the show start time 

Drinks are a flipping RIP-OFF the bar and restaurant wine staff are adequate with most of them not having a clue (cheap labour) and 15% added for NO SERVICE given, one bar waiter even moaned in the theatre when I asked for a Pint of Lager, "I will have to go to the Tankards bar for that" so I got up and went myself, lazy sid 

If you do this cruise get a starboard balcony cabin as the 06:00 sail into Venice is on the right side of the ship, dressing gown, coffee...Flew easyjet (package deal) London Gatwick to Venice at 08:25 (2 Hour Flight), I'll never mock easyjet again, absolutely first class, even arrived early, transfer to Jade was faultless, bags arrived 3 hours later to 9 Deck balcony cabin, walked around ship, so far cant fault a thing 

First nights evening entertainment was an introduction show as expected as most are still unpacking/familiarising the ship/tired etc and that's when GARY the Cruise Director first appears, gives the spiel in English then repeats it in 6 foreign languages ..
