It was my firth NCL cruise (was on many other lines as well to compare), third on Jade and second on this route ;-) Took the same cruise in January this year and obviously liked it. The itinerary is interesting with nice ports of call. Even in November-December months it was quite warm (except Rome where it was exceptionally cold and Istanbul with its rain). The overnight stay in Istanbul is definitely a plus of this cruise.
In overall, I really enjoyed this cruise and, as usual, it was sad to leave the ship at the end.
Let me summarize positive and not so good points, as well as definite things that need improvements.
