92ufgator Posted July 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2016 We just returned home from our 8 day cruise. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed the Jade. A few things were disappointing after being on the RC Allure of the Seas last year, but for the most part we enjoyed it. I won't have time to write a full review, but am happy to answer any questions about eh ship of the itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Huntingdon1701 Posted July 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2016 What was disappointing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92ufgator Posted July 26, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I should have chosen a different word. My kids missed some of the amenities of the Allure, but we knew that going in and chose this ship for the itinerary, which we loved. For me, I enjoyed the smaller ship and liked the food very much in the specialty restaurants and thought it was fine in the mdr. I thought the servers in the mdr were not very friendly, but it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeysgal Posted July 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Allure/Oasis vs Jade is night and day. We loved Oasis...its one of our top two favorite ships. Yes, it would be a step down for the kids in regards to activities. Having been on both Oasis and Gem/Pearl, the NCL ship design can be ...underwhelming... in comparison. But, you're there for those fantastic ports, and the Jade delivers those nicely out of Venice (my all time favorite city). Hope you all had a great time.

92ufgator Posted July 27, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I wasn't trying to really compare the Jade vs Allure - we certainly knew the differences when we booked. I was just summarizing my thoughts on the two experiences. Again, we enjoyed the Jade and loved the cruise itinerary. If any upcoming Jade passengers have questions (I had many prior to the cruise), I am happy to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
