Norwegian Jade

This was our first experience of cruising with NCL, we have been with many other companies previously, but had never done the relaxed style of dining with no formals. We had a large balcony cabin with masses of room and far bigger than that with P & O our last cruise.
Ship was extremely clean and the staff were friendly and very helpful.
We ate most nights in the Grand Pacific restaurant at the rear of the ship, opens at 5.30pm and the only time we had to queue was between 7.30pm and 8pm, so we just avoided those times. A pager system is in use if you have to queue and is very efficient. Standard of the food was excellent and more than sufficient variety.
We had a wine package on the ship which was good value and worked out around £18 per bottle which was best by far of any of the other lines and a good variety. Bar prices were acceptable although you could not bring drinks on board.
Entertainment was in a large theatre with great shows and plenty of access. Obviously if you want the best seats get in about 20 minutes before showtime and you will be more than happy. Plenty of variety and quality was high. Bands in the bars were very good.
On the ship we purchased a voucher which cost 250 dollars but can be used against any NCL cruise up to 4 years hence. As an incentive we were given 125 dollars on board credit to use in the casino - we managed to double this by lucky wins - and have already used the voucher against our next cruise with no hassle at all.
Embarkation and disembarkation process was hassle free and almost a pleasure, we had CCUK transfers which were brilliant and we had no delay in or out.
We overall had a brilliant experience so much so that we have booked to go to Bermuda next year with NCL.
Hope you find this of value and happy cruising.
