We went mostly for the entertainment. Kid Rock was awesome, the other passengers were awesome. As far as the Norwegian Jade, I'd never go back on again. I've been on Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Princess...this is the worst ship I've ever been on.
Casino needs to be updated..slots need to be loosened up.
Food on the buffet was the same everyday..and it was cold and dried out. Very ...
We choose this cruise because it coincided with Spring Break. We were up-sold on a mini-suite which was a great choice. The mini-suite was more than spacious enough for the 3 of us. The balcony with 2 chairs and a little table was very nice. We found the buffet on the Jade to be superior to the Sky. The prime rib at the buffet was 10X better than the prime rib served at the Grand Pacific ...
We had a fantastic time on the beautiful Norwegian Jade which had just come out of refurbishment before our cruise. We had a couple negatives but I still gave it 5 stars because overall it was an excellent vacation.
Here are the negatives. The water slides were not reinstalled and my boys were very disappointed. The slides were one of the reasons we picked this ship. Everyone quickly got over ...
My wife and me pass a great week in the Jade. Cruise was impeccable and with a lot of activities for every one. The entertainment was very good. The food was excellent including the specialty restaurants. Bingo was a lot of fun and the casino was excellent. The pool was always clean and ready to use. Shops have excellent prices and very good merchandise.Service across the ship was excellent. It ...
We picked NCL for this family cruise celebrating our patriarch 85th birthday because we had such a great time on NCL Sun for our last family cruise five years ago.
The food in Grand Pacific (aft main dining room) was pretty good.
We found both Le Bistro and Teppanyaki disappointing, but Cagney's on the other hand was excellent both for lunch and dinner.
The pool deck in evening was ...
Embarkation was awkward. Ship staff seemed confused, sent us to the wrong line to check in, when we asked why there wasn't a line for the Penthouse suite they apologized, sent us to the suite line where we were told we were in the wrong line. We pointed to the sign that said Havens and Penthouse suites we were told that the sign was wrong. After some discussion with another member of the staff ...
This was the Kid Rock Cruise, which the the Sixthman group did extraordinary stuff. NCL was horrible with communication. They took my credit card, charged it and then told me I didn't have a credit card on file, shut me off after I bought an unlimited beverage package and then did a "pre authorization on my account AFTER I had already setttled my charges, therefore totally deleting all funds on ...
This was my first Norwegian cruise. I was advised by a friend and my travel agent to choose a different line. However, I read about The Haven and wanted to try it. There was only one Courtyard penthouse suite left, so my TA grabbed it at my insistence. It was cabin 14514. There's another post on this site discouraging readers from booking that particular cabin because of noise. I was quite ...
Waited in line 3 hours to get on the ship. And since it was so late we couldn't get lunch by the time we boarded cause it ran into the drill. Waited on long lines for drinks since there was barely any servers. We didn't sail til 10pm, which meant the casino didn't open til 1am. They do a really bad job of spreading people out during the day. Had few bars open during the day and didn't seem like ...
The service was terrible, we were delayed in port for 6 hours, delayed even getting on the ship. Waited for over an hour to get drinks as the electronic card service was broken. They were working on the ship right above the eating area and sand, paint and dirt was flying in our food. Couldn't get near the pools or hot tubs as they were packed. If you didn't make reservations for dinner, you were ...
