A wonderful cruise with a great itinerary. NCL was wonderful every step of the way. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made every activity and adventure so much fun. It really seemed like everyone working on the ship was having as much fun as the guests!
Embarkation in Rome was so easy and fast, we were on board in minutes and straight to our stateroom to drop off our bags. Disembarking was just as easy 10 days later (except we were so sad to end our vacation). On and off at each of the ports was a breeze.
The Jade is not new but we found everything to be clean and in working order. We loved the layout of the ship and had no problem finding our way around. The facilities were all good.
Very nice cabin overall. Bed - comfortable and large. Sitting area - full size sofa and CD TV. Bathroom - separate toilet, sink and full tub/shower. Balcony - great size and comfort, fully covered for privacy but little sun. Location - excellent access to the front of the ship, including bridge viewing room. Some noise from the pool deck above, when stacking deck lounge chairs and when kids/teens run down the stairs.
Excellent city to visit, stay in the heart of the city and walk everywhere. Book tour for the Vatican before to avoid the lines. Walking tour of the Roman Forum is amazing. Dining should be experienced in small restaurants found by walking by.
As this was our last port, we opted out of an excursion and instead chose to walk around a little. We had heard there isn't much to see in Naples, and that was true. We enjoyed the walk but probably should have done a tour to Sorrento or Amalfi.
