jmknife Posted June 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not complaining, but Does anyone know if Jade sailed with a partial load of passengers? Restaurant was empty last night at 8:00. Breakfast crowd was also absent this morning. Eating breakfast in the Sun on the stern of the ship at 8:30 with a 10 AM arrival time and empty seats outnumber filled ones by a large margin. I on a ghost cruise? Has everyone need isolated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted June 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2022 The Jade was at just under 50% capacity when we were onboard in April. It seemed very empty most of the time. I think that capacity has been fairly consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted June 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2022 @jmknife Are you able and willing to post the names of the GM, Cruise Director and Concierge please? Is the 25c slide game still present in the casino? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad548ye Posted June 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi JMknife, sorry to be a pain and hijack your thread but as your currently on the Jade could you tell me if they are running just one show a night or two shows a night at the stardust theatre and what the show times are please? I’m trying to find out so I can book my evening meals around the show times. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecow15 Posted June 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We were on the Jade a few weeks ago and found most venues quite empty. Sometimes the MDR had more servers than diners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ColeThornton Posted June 23, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2022 If you're on board the ship right now simply ask one of the officers what capacity the ship is at on your sailing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams1976 Posted June 23, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Also on the Jade right now. It does not feel anywhere near full. Not that you can tell though. There's a group of 8 at the Great Outdoors making enough noise of 1000. They have their own speaker to play their own music and none of the staff will say a word to them. Not going with NCL again and the tips will be cancelled in the morning. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my .02 cents worth. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they have nothing to do with a speaker by the pool, must be another reason to remove tips. In case of the speaker, I'd be calling security. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call the General Manager, probable # 8888 and the Guest Services Manager # 8802 . I don't guarantee the numbers but those were the ones on a couple of M&G "address sheets" I have. Make sure they can hear what you are complaining about!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though with escalating the complaints through the chain of command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted June 23, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 23, 2022 @Cole Thornton Not a smart move to initiate a confrontation with some rowdy people who no doubt are at different stages of inebriation. I totally agree which is why I suggested a ship phone which is probably quite a way from the group, far enough to talk without them overhearing but close enough so the people I suggest will get the message "live" as it were'. I had assumed that @rams1976 would have enough sense to do that without having to spell it our for him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trimone Posted June 24, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Completely agree with the poster, NCL should show some discipline towards these people who think they have the right to ruin some else’s cruise. Unfortunately some NCL staff are to frightened to tell anyone off, and don’t get the support up the chain, imagine an officer’s meeting being conducted there, the speaker would be confiscated and checked for PAT testing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmknife Posted June 25, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Sorry about the cruise director and other personnel, I haven’t been onboard enough to tell. With a different island every day, the boat is more like a hotel for us than a cruise ship. cabin stewards and wait people in the restaurant have been wonderful. My preference is to not have a different waiter each night, but that is just me. I like developing a little bit of a relationship with them. Food has been fine, but the garden restaurant choices have been a little limited. To be fair, I am comparing NCL to my last cruise on Oceania - completely different classes. one negative. We were brusquely TOLD to leave our table in the Garden restaurant because they needed to clean it. We were close to closing time for the morning, but I think it would have been better if they had brought a couple of trays over and offered to move us to the stern of the ship. overall, for the money, I am very pleased. Since the ship isn’t really the destination on this cruise, it was great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbyfelse1963 Posted June 25, 2022 #21 Share Posted June 25, 2022 don't think you can go to desk and remove gratuities any more. I agree with others above that you can't punish your room stewards and waiters for what others are doing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
