Norwegian Jade Review

Additional details
This was our 8th cruise in 6 years all with NCL, most out of NYC, where we live.
We had always wanted to make a transatlantic crossing and to visit Barcelona. We arrived a few days early to spend some time in the city, which exceeded our expectations.
The cruise itinerary was Cartagena (Spain), Malaga (Spain), Funchal (Madeiras), Bermuda and Miami, ending in Tampa.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
The bed was excellent, the cabin was comfortable there was *plenty* of drawer space, we had room left over despite having packed for a 17 day vacation. The curtains do an excellent job of blocking the light and the mid-room curtain allows one to read while the bed area is completely dark. Location was quite good being slightly forward of the center elevator stack. The balcony was very roomy and there were two chaise chairs and one regular chair as well as a small table. Temperature control was good and, in general, the cabin was very quiet with little bleed through from adjoining cabins.
Port Reviews
Barcelona
Wow. Barcelona is a living work of art. We can't wait to go back.
Cartagena (Spain)
WE visited in the off season, so Cartagena had a sleepy quality. We visited to beach community which was pretty. The town itself has some charming pedestrian streets and there is a Roman theatre which we missed because we wanted lunch.
