Review or Norwegian Jade adventure... July 13 - 21

Food: mediocre at best... Meals not hot... most items frozen and microwaved. Bland food and many repeated menu items. Impossible to get a rare steak, as the food continued to cook in the trays as everything was shipped to the dining rooms from a central kitchen. This appears to be the reason for the cold food and bland selections. The focus seems to be that they are trying to get you to go to the "upscale" (read as "up charged") restaurants. These all involve extra charges typically up to $25 per person. Service issues and apathy from the wait staff. Example: We pointed out an overcooked steak to the waiter and he shrugged his shoulders and walked away!

Serving staff challenged to keep up with demand especially during breakfast and lunch. The water and ice machines both consistently broke down during breakfast and lunch in the buffet dining room (deck 12). Not enough chairs to manage the number of customers. Breakfast and lunch both lead to struggles to find a seat.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Oceanview

very quiet cabin on 8th deck obstructed (lifeboat) view. easy to get to comfortable clean. Never turned on TV, plenty of room in closets and hooks. Nice decor with LED reading lights. Only gripe was the toilet was so close to the wall.
