The 3 of us enjoyed the cruise, the crew are without doubt the most friendly we have experienced on our several cruises. THE SHIP IS A HAPPY SHIP freestyle dining is new to us but you can organise your meals by booking set times if you wish. Buffet Dining on the open rear deck is lovely with wonderful views of the ports. The shows are short special acts not the usual song and dance every night show. The end show circus soleil style is excellent we really enjoyed this.

Dangerous disembarkation at Rome in pouring rain. We and other luggage colours were called at the same time deck 4 was totally JAMMED with people and luggage, the lifts were overflowing and people were pushing people out in to the jam the stairs and the only corridor were packed. No one was in control, no one said dont go to deck 4 its jammed, why? The officers at the front were having to help people down the rampo one by one they had no idea of what was happening behind them. I have asthma and had an attack, luckily a lady officer passing helped me to safety via the crew doors, she offered a wheelchair but there is no way it was safe to go down that slippy steep ramp in a wheel chair, I was assited by 2 officers down the ramp.I think I had a lucky escape, BUT SO DID THE JADE CREW because if I OR ANY OTHER PASSENGER HAD COLLAPSED, they would have been trampled, there would have been a tragedy. I have contacted the CEO and other departmentS of the cruise line and received no response. My questions are this, wonderful welcome why the chaos on departure, no one in control no one knew the whole situation, why no officer trying to assist the crush, WHY IN THIS DAY AND AGE IS THE RAMP SO STEEP WHY NOT AN L SHAPE GRADUAL SLOPE, IT WAS WORSE THAN A CATTLE. TRUCK. I BOARDED FIT AND HAPPY WITH MUSIC AND FRIENDLY FACES DISEMBARKED IN A STATE OF COLLAPSE AND CHAOS.
