Norwegian Jade Review

Additional details
The Good:
1. Embarkation and disembarkation were a breeze. We did not bring a lot of luggage, therefore the easy walk off was a great option. We were out on the pier in Southampton within 15 minutes of the clearance for disembarkation. On the day of the Embarkation we did use the porter service for the bigger suitcase. It showed up upon our return to the cabin after an early dinner. So no complaints there.
2. On board entertainment. This ship does not offer the blockbuster Broadway production type of shows. However, the ship's dance troupe is great. Talents' acts kept us engaged and the music on board in various pubic places kept audiences entertained. We also enjoyed the lecturers on the ship. They were informative and entertaining as well.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Upon embarkation, the cabin looked well appointed. We liked the USB charging port, and it seemed to be very fast. The in-room coffee maker was a waste of space, taking up the entire surface at the vanity. We simply took it off and put it in an empty space in the closet area. The room had enough hangers for people people. The cabin size was satisfactory, so was the balcony. The cabin location is very good, only steps from the aft elevation, which made it easy for the walking-challenged cruiser in our party. The sink had a crack in it, but it really didn't bother us much, since there was not leakage anywhere.
Our problem was with the upkeep of the cabin during the cruise, and in particular with the bad attitude and laziness of the cabin attendant. Please refer to my review, there is no need to rehash here.
