Trying to get 3 families together was a challenge and this cruise fit the timeframe as well as being a great destination. The ship was smaller that what we were used to which was a nice treat but we missed some of the activities of the larger ships. The ports in Norway were amazing so the limited activities was not a big deal but would not want this ship on a transatlantic cruise or itinerary with ...
We planned our cruise on NCL Jade nearly a year before sailing. As the cruise was planned to celebrate a special 60th birthday, I was asked to plan the cruise due to my experience in cruising. We were a party of 11 adults (family and friends) travelling together. 9 of the 11 individuals had never sailed before and hence I had to choose a ship and itinerary that would suit all. We settled on NCL ...
We have never sailed the Norwegian Cruise Line before, so this was our first time.
Our previous ocean cruises were with the Royal Carribean.
The embarkation went smoothly although we did not like the idea of printing our own luggage tags.
The cabin was very small, which we expected.
What is disappointing is that all the nice places to relax on ship are the places where drinks are ...
First of all this was our third cruise this year we had sailed on the Symphony of the seas in May from Barcelona and Ventura in July from Southampton so what you should expect in the way of general service on a cruise ship was still fairly fresh in our minds. We are Latitudes Gold so we have sailed with them a few times prior to this cruise. Because of the previous cruises this year and cost we ...
We chose this 9 day cruise because we wanted to sail the Norwegian Fjords. We loved spending each day in a different port and then getting back on the ship at dinner time, sailing at night and getting into a new port early the next morning. Hotels and restaurants in Norway are really expensive and so it was great to come back to the Jade every evening and know that we didn’t have a hotel or food ...
I chose this cruise to see the fjords, the people of Norway and their way of life and to ride the famous Flam train. The cabin was great and I want to especially commend our cabin service person, Liping. She was absolutely PERFECT. Please let her know. The rest of the staff were all excellent and you could not ask for better service and attention. Entertainment was very good. I did not get ...
Wanted to see the fjords and always liked ncl. Jade was recently refurbished and looks great. Ports were small but really enjoyed them. Seems they have cutback on the latitudes party. No more prizes and it is now early in the day when you are less likely to drink. Appetizers were cubes of cheese only. Very poor way to treat best customers. Show us you really care and make our experience special. ...
We chose this NCL Jade cruise for its itinerary: up the western coast of Norway and into the Arctic Circle. We were very pleased with most aspects of the cruise.
The Jade is a comparatively small ship, comfortable and tastefully decorated. There is a wide variety of dining venues, along with bars/lounges, spa areas, and casino. The passengers on this cruise appeared to be there for the ...
We wanted to see the far north area of Europe and go to North Cape. We enjoyed seeing the sun set for only a short period and crossing the Arctic Circle. We also wanted to spend some time in Hamburg, Germany before the cruise. We enjoyed the 11 days and all the excursions and stops on this cruise. As always, the entertainment on our cruise for top notch, the service at all the restaurants was ...
We wanted to visit friends in Hamburg and this cruise left from Hamburg, so we were able to combine a nice visit of a few days followed by an enjoyable cruise.
This was our first NCL cruise and we felt the crew members on this cruise were very friendly and helpful, more so than on previous cruise lines we have used. Food was generally very good, although we were not fully aware that "dress up" ...
