Overall, this was a great vacation. Very relaxing, good company, and a great time.
Our party consisted of 2 couples in our late fifties/early sixties. This was my husband and my 23rd cruise; 3rd on NCL. It was our friend's 4th cruise; 1st on NCL.
We basically took the cruise because the port is located so close to our home and because we got two free offers. We chose the ultimate ...
.This was a retirement cruise for my wife and number 12 overall for us. For the last several years we had opted to do all inclusive do to cost factors, but this was a deal. We booked short notice and got an inside ros cabin which was fine. Although we were greeted with visitors in our toilet, the room steward Felipe and his supervisor, Alex got things handled.
The regrets-Steiner employee ...
Overall, our 1st bi-annual multi-generational family cruise was a really awesome trip.
Here's my review-in the simplest possible frame of mind:
1) the cabins-midship, 10th floor, 2 inside & 1 balcony staterooms-all BIG for a cruiseship.
Magnificent! Comfortable! Great beds-Great Bedding! Everything you bring will fit. but bring extra hangars and magnetic hooks for stuff. Very rare ...
we chose this cruise because of the open dining options and the houston departure; as some family members are based there. we had 1 balcony and 2 inside staterooms, 2 across from one-another which made the time spent in our rooms very comfortable for all. the majority of our meals were spent in the garden cafe, as we always found table room for the 6 of us and the 3 year-old didn't have the ...
We planned our trip in the middle of October 2015. Since then I read reviews weekly and was a bit nervous, but honestly, if you are like me and read review after review, please remember that what some people complain about may not mean anything to your trip. My boyfriend and I took this trip and we had the time of our lives! All of the staff were awesome! By the end of the first hour that we were ...
We just returned from our Norwegian Jade cruise from the Port of Houston to Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan, and had a lovely birthday celebration for my wife, accompanied by our daughter and her boyfriend.
Highs: Port of Houston was very convenient (4 hour drive from Austin), with the fastest embarkation we've ever experienced. Also appreciated the convenient and reasonable parking, so close we ...
My husband and I sailed on the Norwegian Jade, April 2nd through 9th, with two other couples. This was our 16th cruise and 3rd with NCL. Our ports were Cozumel, Belize City, Belize and Roatan, Honduras. We drove down from Kansas to Houston's Bayport Cruise terminal the day before and stayed at the Best Western Plus Seabrook Suites. The hotel is very nice, ideal to stay before your cruise as it's ...
This was our 17th cruise with NCL in less than 5 years, the first 16 were just wonderful so we were really looking forward to this cruise also. After this cruise I can say that the Jade is the worst, and not an NCL standard. Most of the staff in common areas were rude, and did nothing to make you feel welcomed. We have been on the Jewel, Pearl, Epic, Getaway, Sun and Sky and have never encountered ...
At the last minute we decided to book a 7 night cruise on NCL out of Houston. I had some time off and the price was fantastic so away we go.
We booked an inside room guarantee only 10 days before departure and got it for $299pp with tax and port charges it was $810 for the week.
Houston is close enough we can drive making it a pretty inexpensive week.
We booked online with no problems, ...
This was a spur of the moment trip for us, and we the price was unbeatable, even for a balcony room.
As this was to be our second cruise on NCL, we had high expectations. Our previous cruise with them had been wonderful (NCL Jewel) so we were really excited.
Embarkation was a breeze! The Houston terminal knows how to move people swiftly through the check-in process, something Carnival needs ...
