Norwegian Jade Review

Additional details
Check-in at the port was amazing, best ever. Every employee on the ship was helpful, friendly and competent. The cabin was clean and well appointed. The common areas were very clean and well maintained. We ate most of our meals in the main restaurants, as well as Jasmine Garden and found their food to be of high quality and varied enough to keep us interested. The food was better than our last trip on the Dawn. We didn't do any specialty restaurants since the ones we were interested in were too high priced for the value. For Cagney's it was $30 each plus 18 % . We had some excellent steaks in the main dining rooms.
The food in the buffet was excellent for breakfast and lunch (hint seating is tight so go to the back deck or the El Cucina Restaurant for nicer seating.
The food at dinner, in the buffet, not so great especially on the "Indian Special Nights", just awful.

Port Reviews
Venice
The best way to see Venice is to walk. You can buy excellent maps for 3euros everywhere. Don't be intimidated by the maps. Because every little alley and canal is named, it makes it seem like Venice is huge. It is actually very compact and the neighborhoods are clean, interesting and very safe. We never felt uncomfortable anywhere.
Dubrovnik
Be sure and take a taxi to "Old Town". It's 10 Euros per carload. Otherwise it's a 45-60 minute uphill walk.
You must "walk the wall". Costs about $14-$15 each, but the views and picture taking ops. are worth it.
Split
Nice shops, nice restaurants near the port and very friendly people.
