AJ’s Sloth and Monkey sanctuary. We booked this on our own in advance. Shore excursions to these places were longer and more costly. We got transportation and the animal experience for $35 pp. Lots of fun and guide was great.

Pros and Cons of NCL Jade

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Jade

I booked this cruise on the spur of the moment during some unusually bitter winter weather here in Colorado which is not my normal way of doing things. We know NCL (we are gold latitude members), and they happened to have a cruise which was still open and reasonably tempting. As always their initial price was a real "come-on", but, of course, NCL will add many, many more charges (including their ...

My husband and I just got back from a 14 day Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Jade. We had a great time. The check in process was quite quick, and we were on the ship by 12:30 enjoying lunch and cocktails. By 4:00 our cabin was ready. We had an inside cabin which was quite small, but we were hardly ever in it, just to sleep, shower, and get changed. The food and service were very good. I ...

To get away from winter weather up north. Price and latitude extras were also an incentive. We enjoy sailing on Norwegian. We also liked the BOGO airfare making it a better bargain. It was our first time booking a window cabin after several cruises with a balcony. It was a fine trade for reducing our cost as we just sailed most of these ports in November. The specialty restaurants were ...

The good: The ship is in great condition in all common areas. we had great weather once outside of Tampa. No issues with sailing. Disembarkation was quick we got off at 8:30 am without effort. I'm focusing review on food and entertainment since these are hot button issues currently. The Bad: The food on this ships sailing was a C- in the buffet and the MDR. The overall vibe was that NCL ...

An entire week of our toilet not flushing and flooding. Spent half our vacation at the service desk trying to get our toilet fixed. Then on the last day Norwegian offered a room change...when we would be getting off the ship the next day. Multiple times we had to get up in the middle of the night and use a public washroom on another floor. What a nightmare. How is this acceptable for what is meant ...

Do Not go on the Jade=-An expensive mistake

Where do I begin: Bad food, lack of dining space, high prices for everything including tips and surcharges. Two good restaurants: The buffet and Murano (with additional charges, expensive). The room (family room) had a drop down bunk bed. Had to get onto the bed sideways. Room very tight to move around; no real place to sit down! Safe inacessible for a short person (I am 4-11 1/2). ...

Well as a huge fan of the Jade and loyal NCL cruiser I can not argue with a lot of the recent negative reviews. My travel group came with an open mind but we feel very let down by NCL. They have obviously cut back on many things however, there short sighted savings will actually cost them more as loyal customers go elsewhere. The buffet has very little choice with the same dishes repeated many ...

We’ve sailed with NCL for years, always a great experience. We’ve also cruised with several other lines We choose to stay with NCL because of the “freestyle dining” We’ve booked the Haven once , the owners suite twice all the others have been suite balcony or standard balcony’s We also booked a cruise for the Mediterranean in November prior to boarding the jade … may have to rethink it ...

We enjoyed our cruise and overall had a good time. The itinerary was great, the crew friendly and helpful, the activities were diversified. The ship was sold out and very crowded at times, especially the pool and early dining times. Without a reservation the waiting time to enter any Main Dining Room before 8 pm was at least 30 min. Lines to enter MDR would form long before opening time. Once, ...
