zounds Posted December 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Some highlights and lowlights of our 1st Jade sailing. I think this was our 8th NCL cruise and our 1st as Platinum Lat. Plusses: easy embarkation, 5 dinners in Sp. restaur.( 2 as Plat., 3 as promo.), Edwin our steward in a mini on deck 11, virtually deserted Spinnaker during my daily a.m. stretch, production show dancers, Russian acrobats. Highlight was probably the Atlantis submarine in Cozumel (not booked through NCL). It was less than half full for the 11 a.m. tour. A few lowlights were the bad bed (which I hope gets replaced soon) and our waiter in LeBistro who obviously was not familiar with the menu or protocol. Granted, it was his first day, but he could have studied the menu beforehand. This contributed to a 2 hr. dinner that should have taken 90 minutes. We had a good time in Costa Maya at Krazy Lobster and I was prepared for all the beach vendors, but really, ELEVEN times I was offered Cuban cigars ! (I counted). Funniest moment came on Harvest Caye(where it rained all day). The lady in front of me at the liquor store tasting tried the 12 yr. old rum and said "Whoo! I think I just saw Jesus! If you want some religion, try that!" any questions? I'll try to answer them. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zounds Posted December 29, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Big dip from too many fatties. Couch was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate45 Posted December 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 29, 2016 If you have a "soft" mattress, can you not ask for something to firm it up (I forget what it's called)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zounds Posted December 30, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted December 30, 2016 A foam "egg crate" would not have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapie Posted December 30, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I was on the Jade in November. During the first night's 'sleep' I realized my mattress was so well used it was almost V shaped. The next morning I went to customer service and the same day they got my cabin steward to change it out and the second mattress I was given was great.

Kate45 Posted January 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Another Ncl question. If you have the UBP, do they give you a insulated plastic glass? Other lines do with the soda package, so was wondering for the UBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zounds Posted January 2, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Never had the UBP, so I can't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
