Before this cruise we've cruised with Carnival in the Caribbean and Costa in the Mediterranean. This cruise was a last minute cruise, we've booked only four days before departure.
Our Cabin was nice, but the cabin and the balcony were a lot smaller than on the Costa Magica. I think the Costa Magica cabin had twice as many closets as the Jade cabin. In the areas above the TV, there was a lot of dust. Also the carpet was dusty in areas that could not easily be reached by the vacuum cleaner.In the bathroom there are separate areas with a toilet, a washbasin and a shower, separated with sliding doors. The ship is build in Germany and has good German faucets.
The food was tasty in both the main restaurants and the buffets. There are a lot of specialty restaurants at this ship, but for every specialty restaurant you have to pay a cover fee (25 dollar per person average). This fact must be taken into account when considering going on this cruise.
Cabin is rather small, not suitable for three persons. Tiny closet. Nice bathroom.
