"We chose this cruise because it went to Dubrovnik, which is where my Great Grandfather was from. Also, because we had never been to Greece and it's islands before.
This was our second big ship cruise, our first..."Read More

1-10 of 151 Europe Norwegian Jade Europe Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise as an experience of a lifetime. To see places such as Petra and the Suez Canal. We have traveled extensively over our life time. Our previous cruises were fantastic and we decided to try a different cruise line and experience different countries by cruising. The first half of the cruise up until the end of the Suez Canal was as we expected. The shore excursions were very ...
We chose this cruise to give us a taste of the Mediterranean, Italy, Greece and the Adriatic in Oct/Nov 2019. On those points, it did not disappoint. The ports were fantastic, but this review isn't about the ports, its about the ship. Lets start with the good.
Its clean and obviously had a recent refurbish, we liked the layout and we liked the general look and feel.
We had a mid ship balcony ...
We did a 14 day Greece Italy cruise in November 2019 on the jade. It was actually our second time on her, we didn’t know it but we had been on before when it was the pride of Hawaii in 2007. This itinerary was awesome, 12 cities in 14 days including an overnight in Venice (luckily just a week before it flooded).
The refresh was nice, everything looked new and clean and it was great to have usb ...
We wanted to cruise the Mediterranean and this ship was visiting the places we wanted to see. I have to say though, we didn’t really compare it to any other cruise lines and it was our first cruise. Still, I’m sure I will visit Greece and Italy again, I just won’t cruise.
A few things I noted while onboard:
Malta- The very best part is the view from the ship in port. It’s breathtaking. ...
First time cruising NCL and some major bumps starting off as our airport to hotel transportation never picked us up in Rome and when we called the service (SMS) we were told they don’t provide that service despite the fact we had a confirmation. This resulted in an OVERPRICED cab ride to the hotel. I reported this as soon as I boarded the Jade expecting a credit, but was told I had to file a past ...
Good itinerary and reasonable price!
Food was rather ordinary. No special nights like they have on other cruise lines. One night food was so bad ( rubber chicken) that I just refused to eat it.
Ship was somewhat tired in many areas.
Service in the dining room and bars was terrific.
Room service was below par. Washroom dirty when we checked in and we never really had communication with ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and time of year. We have cruised on Viking ocean cruises and the Windstar cruises; Norwegian is less expensive and we now know you get what you pay for. Our room was near the trash compactor/waste machine and there was a constant banging sound all night long. Norwegian has no business selling cabins that make it impossible to sleep. After four nights of no ...
We chose this particular cruise because it was the only one we could find that visited the 4 Greek Islands we wanted to see at a price we wanted to pay.
We found the cabin more than adequate and well maintained.
The ship's freestyle dining facilities were more than adequate and the food good. Service varied from attentive to indifferent. The specialty restaurants also varied, with Jasmine ...
Choose this ship for time and intenerary. We had a great time so the following a some good, tips and some not so good.
Biggest compliant is embarkation -HORRIFIC at best. NEVER take the train from Rome, it is a disaster we were on a commuter train and when we got out we had to walk up and down stairs and down the walkway in the hot sun. The bus that takes you to the terminal did not show up ...
We have cruised four times before on a different cruise line. We chose this particular cruise with Norwegian due to the amazing itinerary in the Mediterranean. We arrived in Rome four days before our cruise and had time to explore all the tourist spots and get acclimated to the time zone.
We had six of us and decided to book the 2-Bedroom Family Suite because it was not much more than two ...
