We just returned from a 10 day European Cruise on the Norwegian Jade for my wife and my 20th anniversary. I had booked this cruise about two months prior to our departure date through an internet cruise booking site. After booking, I spent time looking at shore excursions, and site seeing things to do in the ports we were to stop in. My wife and I have been on 6 different cruises, this being our 2nd cruise with Norwegian, our honeymoon, 20 years previous, being our first with Norwegian. All the other cruses we have done have been either the Mexican Riviera or the Caribbean. A couple with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Carnival.
The GOOD...
Embarkment was a dream. I have never before experienced that quick of a "getting on the ship" process. I don't know if it was our timing or if they have worked out all the kinks over the past few years but from dropping the luggage off on the dock to our being in our cabin may have only been 10-15 minutes. If you hate long lines and waits to board a ship, this is the cruise for you. 10 stars.
10028 Great room with balcony. Hear noise the very last day early in the morning for about 30 minutes but other than that was great.
