Let me start by saying I have cruised one time before on Norwegian Jade in Western Mediterennean 4 years ago. This review is divided in sections so you can read only what you are interested in.

Pre Cruise: We live in Cyprus, a small island in the Eastern Mediterennean sea. We took a flight with SAS air to Copenhagen with a stop in Oslo. I travelled together with my family of four and my mother-in-law. We arrived in Copenhagen at 8 pm. We took a cab, which took us to our hotel, hotel the Sqaure. I highly recomend this hotel as it is very central, the rooms are quite spacious, the price is resonable and the port is quite close. Copenhagen is a nice city, with an interesting history, but does not compare to major european cities (e.g. London and Paris). It is also very very very very expesive. The thing that supridsed me the most is that, when you buy a bottle of water, they charge yous 1,50 dkk extra for the plastic bottle. I found that ridiculous. The good thing is that everyone, including taxis, accept credit cards, so won't need any krones. In the morning, we took another cab to take us to the port, which is not very far from the city centre.

Embarkation: I was actually amazed by the speed of the embarkation proccess. Ten minutes after the moment we stepped out of the car we were onboard. The staff was very helpful. Once we got in the ship, we walked around the ship and the we heades to the Market cafe (the buffet) to have lunch. Oour cabins were available shortly after that (around 1 p.m.). Read more
