Having cruised twice previously on large ships (Ventura and Independence of the Seas), after a 3 year break from cruising we (being a family of 4) were looking to return to it for a 1 week break at fairly late notice this summer (June, for a July sailing). We liked the Jade's itinerary (Venice, Dubrovnik, Athens, Santorini, Split, Venice) and reviews were generally positive.
Our experience overall was mixed - from the pre-booking stage to the end of the cruise - with an accumulation of too many avoidable irritations tarnishing the experience. More detailed views as follows:-
Pre-Booking.
A very nice cabin. Although located right beside the lifts and below the gym, noise etc was not a significant issue.
