We had sailed on the Jade in the Med before, but totally different ports, excepting Malta. But we loved Malta so this was a good fit for us. Embarkation was painless. The sailaway through Venice was amazing. We had an aft cabin so had a perfect view. Our cabin steward, Gede, was attentive and took care of our requests promptly. We took all of our shore excursions from NCL, and with a few ...
We chose this cruise for the Itinerary that it provided.
A fantastic selection of ports and we loved every one. It was magnificent leaving Venice at dusk. We walked around a number of ports that we had been to in the past Kotor, Dubovnik Santorini and Mykonos and took some private day trips to Messina ( Taormina ) , Naples (Positano and Sorrento) Livorno (Florence )and The Tuscan countryside. ...
It is an excellent cruise, very good size and distribution.
The ship's staff is very attentive and always giving excellent service.
The cabin is wide, with a very good bathroom (bigger than the regular bathroom).
The restaurants and the buffet are very good with lots of variety. It has several restaurants for at night, although without a doubt; the best is the Grand Pacific.
Some ...
I LOVE the itinerary of the NCL Jade. I’ve been on other Mediterranean cruises with other lines who were organized so one cannot say oh that’s how they do things in Europe. The Jade had poor communication from the time we checked in (late 2 1/2 hr start was never emailed to us— a little more time in Venice would have been nice!) until debarkation in a quonsa hut in Rome. No porters were available ...
This cruise was chose based on the great itinerary. Weather was great for this time of year in almost every port. Having cruised with NCL before I enjoy freestyle cruising, however this time around NCL left a bit to be desired. We stayed in cabin 10658 with three adults. Sofa folds out to a third "bed", however if you are an average size adult your legs and feet will hang off the end of the ...
My wife and I LOVE cruising...this is our fourth cruise and the first on the Jade. Sadly, it did not live up to our expectations, possibly because of our previous two cruises on the beautiful, efficient, friendly Epic.
The Good: We liked the style of balcony cabin which seemed more roomy. In addition, the cabin crew were warm, friendly and efficient. The embarkation and disembarkation were as ...
The balcony cabin for 3 was very disappointing .When the 3rd bed was lowered from the ceiling [for around 15 hours each day] access to the balcony, sofa, mirror ,table and hair dryer were either blocked or .impeded.I hit my head several times when trying to navigate my way around .
The food in the main restaurants was bland ,uninteresting and never hot .Coffee was available only as an extra and ...
Great places visited. Met wonderful people. Food was the best. Great cruise and value.
The dinning room staff were efficient and friendly.
The entertainment was good especially the Finalle.
Tina Turner tribute band was spot on.
Staff in the Blue Lagoon was wonderful, we ate breakfast there almost everyday and they got to know what we liked.
The ship is a little tired but would like ...
We chose this cruise as we were going with friends who had not cruised before (we have cruised twice both with Celebrity) and as she works in a school we were limited to school holidays. The itinerary was good and we enjoyed all the ports that we stopped at particularly Zadar and Kotor which were both stunning. Especially the approach to Kotor which was magical.
Our cabins were 5544 and ...
We chose this cruise because of the ship, cost & itinerary.
We were on the Jade earlier this year and enjoyed it so much we thought we would try this one-off itinerary which took us to some new destinations. This was the first half of the Winter Re-positioning Cruise as the Jade was on its way to Tampa via Barcelona, etc.
We spent a few days in Venice before the cruise and another in ...
