Sail Date: Oct 2011
Cabin: Mid-Ship Inside

We sailed on the Norwegian Jade leaving out of Venice, Italy on October 8th, 2011. It was a unique 7-day repositioning cruise to Civitavecchia, Italy which is the closest port to Rome. The ship left Venice and we followed the Dalmatian coast in the Adriatic Sea with stops in Koper, Split, and Dubrovnik before sailing around the boot of Italy with stops in Messina and Naples before ending our cruise in Civitavecchia.

It was our 13th NCL cruise (17th overall). We have sailed three times on Carnival and once with Royal Caribbean.

It was our third time on the Jade as we had sailed on her a year earlier on a 7-day cruise out of Barcelona to Italy and two years earlier on a 5-day cruise from Southampton, England to Ireland. We are rated as Platinum Latitudes members with NCL.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Inside

Cabin IA

We always book an inside cabin. We are only in our cabin to sleep or shower, so we prefer to save money in order to cruise twice a year versus once or less with a balcony or suite type cabin. Our cabin had more than enough room for the two of us. There are two small twin beds that you can have next to each other or separated. We had them separated in order to free up a little more usable space. The closet had about 20 hangers. We easily stored our 4 pieces of luggage under the beds. There is a safe and a small fridge in the cabin. In the bathroom, there is a toilet, sink, hair dryer, and a shower with a sliding glass door. The European-style shower head is height adjustable and can be hand held.

Our cabin was on deck 10. This was a great location for us as it was only a few decks up to the pools and buffet and a few decks below to the promenade deck, the Stardust Theater, and dining rooms. We tried to use the stairs as often as possible. In the mornings, I would head up to the buffet with insulated mugs to bring hot tea back to the cabin while my wife was getting ready.
