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 />
