I boarded on Tuesday, April 19th in Miami. The NCL Jade's transatlantic cruise had originated in Houston a few days earlier. Embarkation was the smoothest and quickest ever. As I understand only some 200 passengers boarded in Miami. Disembarkation in Barcelona was equally smooth and efficient.

This was my first transatlabtic cruise. We were blessed with calm seas and excellent temperatures. Only one day did the movement of the ship prevented my using the treadmill. The actual crossing from St. Thomas to Madeira, Portugal lasted one week.

CABIN:

NCL JADE Interior Cabin 10083 was excellent in it being two floors below the pools and buffet and three up from the main restaurants, shopping, walking promenade, atrium and theater on the 7th floor. I hardly used the elevators. It is also midship with a storage room on one side and a passenger cabin on the other meaning it is quiet in that the bed is by the storage room. It is the first interior room when you enter the hallway by the central elevators and staircase. It is a regularly sized smallish interior room but the benefits of location are such that I would be pleased to book it again. The room attendant was excellent. As I travel alone, after the first day, we agreed that the attendant would enter the room only once a day during dunnertime to exchange towels and make the bed.
