This was our first cruise so booked a short one in case we didn't like it. Chose Norwegian as recommended by close friends who knew freestyle cruising would be the best fit for us. Ended up choosing Jade because of the itinerary, but checked reviews before committing. As this was our first cruise we have nothing to compare our experience to, but in a nutshell we loved it.

Initial embarkation took longer than we expected, but we had no clue. It seemed kind of chaotic but now that we know what to expect it won't seem so bad next time. On the other hand, embarkation and disembarkation at ports was much quicker and smoother than expected.

We also didn't realize that many of the amenities are available as soon as you board, such as the buffet and bars. We had already eaten so set off with our carry-ons to explore the ship, as our cabin was not ready (something else we learned.... it takes awhile for all the rooms to be cleaned). We made our way to the pool area, grabbed a beverage and enjoyed the people, sun and entertainment while waiting for our cabin and the safety meeting. Then back to the pool deck for the set sail party. So much fun!
