This was our 20th cruise and our 12th cruise with NCL so I guess you could say we are pretty much hooked on freestyle cruising.
Wonderful two weeks on Jade, back to back out of Venice. She's still in good shape but can't wait to see her after her refurbishment in a few months. Mid-ship port side deck 10 balcony stateroom in very good location; easy access to all areas of the ship. Dennis Presaldo, our cabin steward was very polite, friendly and efficient; no complaints; great job!
Food and service throughout the ship was excellent. Le Bistro, Cagney's, Grand Pacific dining room all fine - especially liked Le Bistro. O'Sheehans will be a welcome addition on the next cruise.
Great location, quiet, close to everything.
Have been to Venice many times - always a highlight.
Took the people mover from the port to Piazzale Roma, then water ferry to St Mark's Square along the Grand Canal.
Islands of Murano and Burano are worth a visit.
