Cabin: Mid-Ship Oceanview Porthole Window

This was my first cruise ever, and there were four of us. We all shared the same room. We were trying to do this cruise inexpensively, but still splurge on a few things. I had read up about Jade and that it was the old "Pride of Hawaii" ship, and the decor fit that. I thought the decor was fine, it was what I expected. We were way down on the 4th floor, but we were right by the mid-ship elevators and steps, which was nice. It was only 2 floors up to the main dining room and a few bars, so we walked the steps a good bit.

There are 4 sit-down restaurants you can go to that are included at no extra cost.

This ship is "freestyle" so you can go in and ask for a table and eat at anytime whenever they are open. Here they are:

Cabin OF

Our cabin... we were trying to be economical, so we stuffed 4 people in our room. There were two single beds on each side of the room, and there was one "cot size" bed that pulled out and filled the space between... so three of us were sleeping in a row, but we each had our own mattress, with the center mattress being slightly narrower, but still large enough for a good sized adult. There was also one bunk that flipped down off the wall over one of the single beds. That made the 4 people. There was a good amount of space for our stuff. There were 2 sets of 3 drawers, a double doored closet, and about 8 cubby holes to put your stuff in. We managed. The bathroom was tight, but adequate, it is tough for a full size person to change in there, especially if you are over 5'10". They kept our cabin clean and ready for us each night and brought us fresh ice in our ice bucket each night. There is a mini fridge, that comes stocked, and you can pay for the stuff, but if you want to use it for yourself you will need to remove items and put them back in.

The room itself is also right by the tender doors, so it did get noisy, but it was SUPER convenient when getting on and off port.
