pattymo Posted November 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Initially was looking at the splendor of the seas but due to no balcony or outside cabins left , my sights turned to the Jade...I hope I made the right decision....my only NCL cruise was on the Norway around 1980 or 1981.. So NCL is a unfamiliar product to me . Any thoughts or encouragement that the correct decision was made. How is NCL for single mid 20's ( my kids) .we booked 2 side by side balcony cabins. Do the balcony dividers open?? Thanks for any replies Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted November 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Love love love Croatia!!! You're port intensive, I wouldn't really worry about what there is to do on the ship, you're going to need to rest after all those port days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewoodspark Posted November 6, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) It is a pity that you did not book in July. You could have saved quite a lot based on prices today Edited November 6, 2014 by Ewoodspark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovesailing Posted November 6, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2014 We did the exact same cruise in 4/2012 perfect weather all the way. Highlights, the ship is in good shape and has Hawaillian theme throughout. Croatia Croatia Croatia just stunning. The highlight of this cruise is the sail away through the Grand Chanel and the return sail by, because the canal is very narrow and becausyour up high if you go to aft ship you get 180 degree view with tremendous Kodak moments. This was without a doubt our most memorable cruise. The islands are just amazing. On a side note If your going off ship at Santorini give yourself lots of time if your take the funicular back down as the line ups are quite long especially if there are a lot of ships in port and it will be extremely hot while waiting.

pattymo Posted November 6, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks for the replies. As far as the price. I was able to get a good price on 2 balcony cabins thru a group price the TA had plus OBC .The biggest expense is airfare for 4 people about 33% more than the cruise itself. It's only money. As long as you have your health, that's what counts Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
