Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Norwegian Jade

My husband and I haven't cruised for over 25 years. Our last cruise was on a Carnival cruise back in the day when you had one dining option, the Grand buffet was grand and the food was equal to the best 5 star restaurants in New York. Boy times have changed cruising. We cruised for Christmas this year. I was excited to see all the holiday decorations on board. I was disappointed that the decor ...

Traveled with spouse, son, and daughter over spring break. We came into Houston the night before and stayed at the Marriot South(?) near Hobby. We took a taxi the next morning to Houston Terminal. It cost us $65 for the ride. Embarkation was not too bad. This was our second NCL cruise(3 of us) and we were in 2 average cabins. Therefore, no perks that gave us priority boarding. Nevertheless, the ...

Family of 4, dh (32), ds (11), dd (9) and myself (32) on our second cruise. First was with Carnival...I didn't want to compare the two lines, but in all honesty, it is very hard not to.
Embarkation/Disembarkation
Fast, easy and efficient. No complaints whatsoever.
Cabin
Yes, this was an inside room, but wow, I guess I just didn't realize how poorly set up it would be. The pullout ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s
We noticed immediately that cruise companies cater to people who like gamble and smoke because on the Jewel, Deck 6 is where the casino is located. And adjacent to the casino was the theater, the smoke would invade into that area and it would be very uncomfortable.
Another area that made us uncomfortable was on Deck 12 near the Spa where the ladies who hang out like "hookers" enticing you into ...

This is probably our 20th cruise. This is our first Norwegian Cruise Line trip. We bought the all inclusive package with tips included. Our room was nice and the room steward was nice- but average. Our waiters at dinner where pretty good but we ate at the fine dining restaurants every night. My big concern was the archaic system for paying (which ironically, we did not have to pay because we ...

I feel a little guilty only giving 3 stars - since we had a great trip. But I just finished the Norwegian survey and realized that there was really more wrong with this ship than I thought. Every cruiser feels they are an expert - I read most reviews from this trip and disagreed with much of the criticism - so really - you need to keep an open mind when you read the reviews. Keep in mind your ...

My wife, 2 kids, and myself cruised with Norwegian for the first time Thanksgiving week. There were 2 choices for this week, Norwegian and Princess. We opted for Norwegian because of a low-deposit special.
Parking: The port was the Bayport cruise terminal near Houston. I paid for parking ahead of time online and saved $5 but didn't really save any time. We arrived shortly before 10am and dropped ...

This is the second time I have cruised with NCL. The first time was on NCL Pearl to Alaska, this time on the NCL Jewel to Western Caribbean.
The good: Embarkation and debarkation went very smoothly. This was out of the Port of Houston (not Galveston) and it was a well organized port with parking right in front of the terminal. Baggage handling was smooth and efficient as was loading and ...

My husband and I are in our 40's with four children ages 19 down to 9. We believe there's no such thing as a bad cruise. If the food is bad, order something else. If you see a line, go do something else and come back another time. This was our 26th cruise and our 5th on NCL.
Embarkation:
We arrived at the cruise port at 12:30 which is late for us. It took 30 minutes to drop off luggage and wait ...

From the start I noticed issues. I'll keep it brief: clearly an understaffed ship. Service in bars and restaurants, including the pay restaurants, was brisk, harried, with some service personnel snapping at each other due to being overwhelmed. I watched one bartender literally sweating, alone, behind a bar trying to keep up with the orders and it wasn't happening. He got on the phone and begged ...
