Creator's Key Takeaways

We were so set on this idea that bigger is always better. But the longer that we've spent on this ship, the more we've thought we'd probably lean smaller than bigger nowadays.

There's just a charm with an older ship that feels a little bit harder to create on something brand spanking new and especially when it's huge.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“If you ever get a no [on a reservation], call back 20 minutes later. There's a good chance you'll get a different crew member. You'll get a yes.
โœ“Don't expect perfect weather in Alaska; we just got really lucky.

Missing out on views by booking an inside cabin โ€” Because of the price difference, it's a good choice; you can just go outside immediately.

Get 10 Free Meals and your first box ship free with code BRYANANDJAIDYNFM at http://bit.ly/4eSjFik! We're Bryan and Jaidyn, former crew members turned cruise ship YouTubers! It's been fun getting to do YouTube full-time, especially since it's leading us to ships we'd normally never sail on like Norwegian Jade. We 100% were doing this cruise because of the price, and assumed the ship would be something we just used for sleeping. Turns out we really like a smaller ship feel. Don't get me wrong, the mega ships are incredible and so fun, but the laid back experience on Jade was exactly what we didn't know we needed. I'm pretty sure they're still doing crazy deals on this ship throughout the summer. If you can get onboard for the price we did, dang, I'd book it right away. Was so worth it, and really helped remind me why I love cruising. As I'm posting this, Cruises.com still has a deal up for $379. Lol, the only reason I'm not literally living on the Norwegian Jade all summer is because I have other cruises already booked. If not, I'd just sail up and down Alaska for weeks :D Total cost: $380 Per Person, 2 Inside Cabins $140 Per Person Gratuities $60 Per Person 3 Dinner Dining Package If you want to know anything else about this cruise, leave a comment and we'll letcha know!
