Norwegian Jade Reviews

Just been on a 10 day trip around the Eastern Med. Visiting Italy, Greece and Turkey. It was an excellent cruise. All the staff extremely helpful and friendly working together as a happy team. Food was excellent, both in formal dining room and in the buffet area. The menu selection was fantastic. The entertainment team put on great shows each evening. You really cant believe you are aboard a ship. The final night absolutely excellent. Music everywhere around the ship from cosy bar area, to outdoor disco and of course the white party. Great looking forward to going aboard again.

Just completed our cruise this week on board Norwegian Jade. We are very pleased to report that the services we received from the staff of this ship were excellent and very satisfying. We would like to make especial mention to the entertainment and the dining services displayed on this ship were all excellent and brilliant. After cruising in 5 different cruise lines (P & O, Thompson, MCS, Royal Carribean incl NCL) I found the freestyle cruising as very practical and relaxing with no hassle at all about dress code, except that some group of people from the other parts of the world have abused the system for being noisy and by just wearing vest even in the dining area and a lot of people from the west were a bit disgusted. I hope that the cruise line company must explain fully to all would be passengers to observe some form of respect to other passengers about proper manners. Thanks.

This was our first ever cruise and what an experience. Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Only minor hiccups, weather too bad to dock at first port of call, no anyone's fault. All crew were friendly and nothing ws too much trouble, just found the Grand Pacific restaurant rather slow service. But Alizars was great and to be honest the menus were really similar so didn't matter to much. It was our 40th wedding anniversary and we got sung to and presented with a cake, so lovely. Lots of memorable photos including Istanbul in the snow! Certainly hope to take another cruise maybe for my 60th.

11 day cruise from Rome departing 24/01/15, Overall recommneded. Great ship, good entertainemnt and food in main dining room, excellent. We had cabin 11104, very good posiiton, quiet but near faqcilites. Particularly impresed with room service, cabin steward and qulity of cabin. Found Liverno a bit chaotic, other ports fine especailly enjyed monte carlo. All booked thro IGglu arrangements worked perfectly.

Just back from 10 days on Norwegian Jade. Went to Istanbul . 1 ship a bit dated now but clean. 2 crew IE waiters bar staff etc all very nice and polite. 3 on board drinks very expensive and shopping on board expensive. 4 ship tours ridiculously expensive don't book do your oun thing save a fortune . No free shuttle to town or port gate you got to pay. 5 I would only use this company again if they were going somewhere I couldn't get with another line. 6 if you are siverlised and like to look smart for dinner don't book as dressing for dinner is clean jeans and sweat shirt.

Staff and service fantastic; very good food, especially considering numbers catered for; comfortable cabin. Excursions VERY expensive so we organised ourselves. Wifi connection ridiculously expensive in this day and age - gave feeling of rip-off, contrary to rest of experience.

Just returned first time with NCL many pluses and a few minuses. Mini suite with balcony excellent. Choices for musical entertainment very good if not too varied, shows of a high quality. Choice of dining good with additional speciality restaurant's with reasonable extra charges. The cost of all drinks, internet,tours very expensive. Open dining not that successful, different waiters every meal too impersonal. Friendliness of officers poor and consistency of staff training too varied.

Just returned from a lovely cruise on the Norwegian Jade. Good itinerary and good overall experience. Everything ran well. Too high drinks prices and too high service charges otherwise very happy.

A regular cruiser, but this was the first time with NCL. A little apprehensive to start, but have to say, the ship was so much better than anticipated, very easy to get around, plenty of bars and restraunts (food excellent) Warmed quickly to freestyle cruising and while I like more formal cruises would certainly sail with NCL again, probably a bigger ship in the Caribbean. Cruise itinary was good, weather was ok for the end of October. All in all a very pleasurable experience.

Just returned from our one week cruise to the Eastern Med onboard Norwegian Jade. Many thanks to all crew and staff who were friendly and helpful but never pushy. Our stateroom was kept pristine for us by our steward Sherwin and apart from bumping my head a few times on the slightly overhanging bunk bed we found it compact but comfortable. We went on four excursions all of which we enjoyed , although the time in port at Corfu was disappointingly short. We were especially impressed with our guides at Delos and Olympia. Both spoke good english and were very knowledgeable. The guide on our tour in Santorini was very nice but struggled with the language sometimes. We found embarkation, disembarkation and transfers etc handled smoothly and efficiently. We were a little sad that our transfer to the airport for our homeward journey meant we had five hours waiting at the airport when we would have loved a couple of hours more in Venice but c'est la vie! The only criticism I want to make concerns the food. Most of it was of a good standard with plenty of choice but sometimes it fell below the high standards I' m sure the chefs try to maintain. The moussaka I chose midweek was extremely salty and made me feel quite ill. On the last night of our cruise we paid the extra cover charge to dine in Le Bistro but the salmon I chose for my main course was heavily sprinkled with salt and I couldn't finish it but even without this problem I would have been disappointed with the meagre and unexciting plateful. My husband enjoyed his meal but overall we expected a little more for the extra charge. Earlier in the week however we had eaten at The Jasmine Garden and enjoyed the food and ambiance. So on the whole we would give the ship and its staff full marks but with some reservations over the food.
