Reviewer read

Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on activities.

Norwegian Jade rates higher overall than 27% of the ships we track. The weak spot is activities — and reviewers say it is getting worse.

Why reviewers choose it

No category on this ship rates clearly above the fleet.

The one caution

7.2out of 10 for activities

Higher than only 15% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.83.

Of the 68 reviewers who described activities changing over time, 46 said it got worse.

Everything else, in one line

Eleven fall below the fleet: fitness, public areas, value, disembarkation, entertainment, ship quality, service, dining, cabins, embarkation and activities. They rate higher than 15% to 38% of ships.

Family falls below the fleet too, but only 93 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 7.77 and 8.09. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
