I travelled with my family of three (Mom, Dad and brother), on the Norwegian Jade for it's New Year's sailing, leaving Miami on December 28th, 2017 and stopping at Roatan (Honduras), Harvest Caye (Belize), Santo Tomas de Castillo (Guatemala), Cozumel (Mexico) and Costa Maya (Mexico), returning to Miami on January 5th, 2018.
Overall, my experience on the boat was really wonderful...The Jade is beautifully re-furbished, and well laid out, both in terms of the amenities and with our staterooms. The dining halls and speciality restaurants offer a wide variety of well-made menus and although I did not make it to all the shows, the ones I saw were very enjoyable...big shout out to the Bailamos show and the Elements show- a sort of Cirque du Soleil performance- they were both spectacular!! I also really appreciated the small touches such as the multiple usb/wall plugs and spacious bathrooms in our room, making it seem more like a upscale hotel than a room cabin.
And, although the weather did not cooperate- please note that it is quite chilly this time of year, particularly the water- the staff on board were so pleasant and helpful, it more than made up for all the shivering and chills we experienced, lol. :)
The cabin was fairly roomy and very well-laid out. I shared with my brother and we had lots of space for all our stuff and didn't feel cramped. I particularly appreciated all the shelves and nooks for stashing our clothes and so on and even more so, the multiple wall outlets and usb charging ports for all the many techie gadgets we can't seem to live without these days. The bathroom as well was surprisingly roomy and easy to share. I also appreciated the tv and continuously looping set of movies/tv shows that aired, which was good company when I was getting dressed in the mornings and evenings or that came in REALLY handy, when I fell ill with motion sickness on the second-to-last day of travel.
