My wife and I Joined the ship in Barcelona and got off in Miami. This was our 10th cruise. 3 on NCL. 6 on Royal Caribbean and one on MSC. The JADE is just returning to the states after 7 years cruising the Med.
WE got a good deal on the cruise. We paid $2104 total (taxes and fees included) for two persons in a family balcony which included the choice of meal or beverage package. There is a $13.50 per person per day fee added to your bill as well. We also got a $100 on board credit for being an AARP member.
Embarkation at noon took about one hour to actually get aboard after arriving at the pier.
Adequate. Plenty of water. steward did fine.
