Creator's Key Takeaways

The Norwegian Jade just did something that completely changed my perspective on midsized cruise ships.

After sailing on over 30 different vessels, I thought I knew what to expect from Norwegian's fleet. But this ship proved me wrong in the best possible way.

The stateroom situation on the Norwegian Jade is where this ship really starts to shine.

The Norwegian Jade offers exceptional value in today's cruise market.

βœ“Pack earplugs if you are a light sleeper, especially if your room is near high-traffic areas.
