About Us

My wife (46) and I (42) live in central Florida just south of Orlando. We have been on 7 cruises together since 2011, 5 Norwegian (Dawn, Pearl, Getaway, Star, and now the Jade), 1 RCL, and 1 Carnival. We are about 2 hours from Port of Tampa and Port Canaveral, and 2.5-3 hours from Port of Ft. Lauderdale and Port of Miami so we have a good selection of cruises to the W/E/S Caribbean and Bahamas.

On this sailing, we had the Ultimate Beverage Package (UBP) included for free. We had the UBP on the Star, but we aren’t big drinkers. To pay just the 18% gratuity which was $80/pp, we knew we could do 1-2 drinks a day and come out ahead!

Cabin Review

Inside

Cabin ID

Room 9005 was a corner room so we only had 1 neighbor and an un-busy hallway to the 4 fwd suites. We have had balconies, and with the extra cost we feel we have to use it… but how often are you in your stateroom other than to change and sleep. Also, we are working on 2 cruises a year so the savings on an inside cabin allow us to do this.

The stateroom was very accommodating for our needs. It had all we needed – bed, bathroom, LCD TV, refrigerator, desk, plugs for our electronics, a safe, ample closet space, and 3 drawers. We put our suitcases under the bed after unpacking and had plenty of room to move around. We are a good normal weight and size – me 5’10” 185 lbs, her 5’4” 120 lbs.

Port Reviews

Harvest Caye

Beach and sun go hand in hand. This new private island by NCL is a beach/pool day on the itinerary.

Tampa

Embarkation port - went smoothly!
