I am just going to say first that we JUST been on the Jade 4 months earlier to Greek Isles. We have not cruised with Norwegian in many years and was pleasantly surprised with the Jade. Since we were going to be in the Tampa area at the time of this cruise we decided to try it again. MISTAKE!!! On a scale of one to ten....maybe a two. We had a few incidents in the dining room with a waiter that didn't want to do things for us. I won't go into it. I will say that on the second night we asked for a young lady....Melony that actually waited on us when we arrived for lunch the first day....after that we asked for her everytime and she was wonderful. Then there was a problem in the gift shop, we picked up a bottle of hair spray that had $5.99 on it. When we got to the register the lady said that was the wrong price and picked up another one with $9.99 on it. I said excuse me...it says $5.99 she said someone priced it wrong....OK...your point ISSSSSSS???? She would not back down so we left. My husband would not let me call a manager. Folks we are talking $4 not $4000. The guy in the internet cafe was very rude. I watched before it was my turn as he treated people like they were just plain stupid. There are other things I won't go into and I'm sure the things I mentioned would not be inportant to some.

The ports were less than desirable and I know...we chose them so It is ultimately our fault. Our best port was Costa Maya by far. We booked with Maya Chan and it was a wonderful day. I would suggest that in a heart beat. The last thing which is the worse was the entertainment. TERRIBLE. I just could not believe it. The ships people were awlful...could not sing....on and on. There was one guy, a juggler that was magnificent. I guess if I had to pick some good things the food was just OK....pretty typical. Our room steward was great, like I said once we found Melony our dining room experiences were much better. I have never complained about anything on a cruise before so don't think I am just someone that cant be happy. To us, these things are all important. Not sure why Norwegian sends out survey forms because I did fill one out on line but have yet to hear back from them. I'm not saying that I won't cruise with NCL again but never again to the Carribean and since I have done Greece twice (once on RCCL) I won't do Europe either.
