Norwegian Jade Cruises Reviews

I understood your comments in your review & thought it very helpful...... Even though i am a jeans person 99% of the time I didn't feel your comments were personal. I thought Taylor's comment was quite hurtful & could put some people off leaving comments, which would be a shame.

Each to their own, however what I can't grasp, is that " does no-one read the brochures anymore" Free style is what it says it is................Freestyle....!!!

We sailed on the Azamara Journy,and I can only say that this was one of the best Cruises we have ever had .Or so the Ship is a smaler Ship it was more intermet and friendly .There wher things that you will not see on the bigger ships Fresh fruit in your Cabin every Day Towels on all Deckchares ECT ECT I would reomend it to every one and do not foget you have a Butler I would go again.DG

I agree with you about the no frills bit. I have sailed RCCI, P&O, Thomson, Airtours (in the old days) and about to do celebrity and my least favourite was Nowegian Jade (eveon given the age of the Thomson ships). The Jade is a lovely ship with great amenities, but the lack of organisation at dinner spoilt it for me. I DO like the formal nights but I realise others may not, even so it would still have been nice to have felt welcome in the restaurant and as though it was some kind of occasion to eat each evening! I wasn't sure if they made the main restaurants feel unwelcoming so that you would go and try the many 'fee paying' options? Definitely won't choose NCL again.

if u want to see people dressed up, may i suggest you go on a ship thats not feestyling, most people these days dont like stuffy hob nob cruises, wearing silly dickie bows and all that crap at the captains table, most people these days like value for money, and not having people like you looking down ur noses at them like somthing on end of ur shoe, stick to hob nob cruises in future, and pay more then you wont be stuck with rif raf and peasants like us in jeans

Its not just ncl it seems to be a trend with most cruise lines now. Wear what you like Yes this is ok during the day time. But I like most cruise people like to dress up in the evening and have meaningful conversations with fellow guests. Lets keep the dress code long trousers ( not jeans) and Shirt (not T-shirts) after six inside the communal areas. I dont want to sit next to someone who hasn,t washed since morning and is in the same clothes they have worn all day.

Yes, it appears the standard of cruising is diminishing. If people want to wear shell suits, sandals, football shirts and the like to evening dinner, then may I suggest they go to Butlins or just camping. Cruising is, as far as I am concerned an elegant holiday, and dressing for the evening is all part and parcel of it. I would refuse to sit with anybody at evening dinner who was dressed in the above attire. It just doesn't fit the surroundings. And more than not they would probably be refused entry to the restaurant. The no frills cruise is not for me.
