Norwegian Jade Review

Additional details
Overall we had a very pleasurable experience. The crew and staff worked very hard to make our experience a happy one. The main entertainment shows were outstanding and the performers in the smaller venues were generally excellent. There could have been more educational presentations especially just prior to visitng a port.
Menu choices in the Open Seating "cafeteria" were good. However, more regional dishes should have been offered. For example, tilipia was offered every day but nothing from the world's best fishing region (Iceland).
We understand NCL's desire to sell their own excursions but Guest Services needs to offer more information regarding available services at ports. For example, availability of taxis, location of Tourist Centers, free WiFi, Hop-On Buses,etc. Please provide a map for each port!!

Port Reviews
Lerwick (Shetland Islands)
Self toured the area very easily. Information center on shore was excellent. Utilized city bus to tour Scalaway and castle.
Akureyri
No need to book any excursion as self touring is the way to go in Akureyri.
Kirkwall
Did the NCL excursion with a trained archeologist as our tour guide and visited the varioius Neolothic sites . Excellent experience from beginning to end.
Bergen
Very easy to self tour this beautiful city.
Edinburgh (South Queensferry)
Did a self tour of Edinburgh as we've been there a few times in the past. I would highly recommend the Hop-On, Hop-Off Bus for those interested.
