Staterooms on Norwegian Jade come in all shapes<br />
and sizes (some inter-connecting) to suit all wallets,<br />
and we were all enthusiastic to find ours upon<br />
embarkation. We opted for balconies for the adults<br />
(the oldies liked sitting and “watching the view”)<br />
and a nearby inside option for the kids. Rooms are<br />
available that sleep four; however, I don’t suggest this<br />
unless you have small children, as it would otherwise<br />
be rather a squish. The cabins didn’t disappoint,<br />
and even the inside one was spacious; in fact, the<br />
bathroom was bigger!<br />
Although standard in facilities, what set this ship<br />
apart for us was the personalised level of service from<br />
100 per cent of the staff. Our room attendants were<br />
advocates of this and always greeted us by name<br />
– quite a feat considering there were more than<br />
2400 passengers on board. They went above and<br />
beyond, servicing the room twice a day, with a<br />
nightly turn-down as well. They even sorted, folded<br />
and put away my daughter’s clothes – a gesture<br />
beyond the call of duty!<br />
When it comes to entertainment on Norwegian<br />
Jade, there’s never a dull moment. A diverse blend<br />
of comedy, singing, dancing, acrobatics, magic,<br />
game shows, discos, pools for relaxing, pools for<br />
partying and many other diversions... there was<br />
a lot that kept us busy. For the youngsters, there<br />
were complimentary supervised, age-appropriate<br />
