The NCL Jade Ship

 Did not take lots of pictures of the ship or the interior.  Lots of sea days, so not much scenery pictures either.  We found out when we got back on the ship in Funchal that we were not able to stop at our next 2 ports in the Azores due to weather, that meant 6 sea days until Bermuda. Ouch.



Lots of people playing bingo but too expensive for us


We took in the shows at night which were pretty good. The 2 main acts (Blazing Boots and Elements) were excellent. Not allowed to take pictures during the performances.  This is a smaller ship, we never had to go to reserve seats at shows, you could arrive just as the shows were starting no problem finding a seat.  





Wendy did a few dance classes.


Add Irish coffee at the Irish bar one day


A nice salad at one of the main restaurant


We had a yogurts parfait almost every morning.  We always ate in the main dinning room except for the last morning and 1 or 2 other times in the buffet


Someone  from facebook organized an Indian supper in one of the dining rooms. We were over 100 of us for a great Indian meal.


On the sunny days, many people were out by the pool


One of the maybe 3 cargo ships  we saw when crossing the Atlantic, not much to see


We got $50 credit for missing the Azores. I did a scotch tasting for $20.



Got up early one morning to see the sunrise



In the middle of the Atlantic, first time we have been here except for on a plane


Got a bit of rain


Someone from the Facebook group organized a poker run pub crawl with about 80 of us. Lots of fun, so much liquor.  We had 5 stops, at each stop we got a card and the best poker had won at the end.  Bartenders and waiters followed us around, they were always at the pub with trays of drinks ready for us when we arrived at the next put.  Lots of fun.  It was great cruising with people that knew we could organize these events ourselves.


A cold day and and windy for the poker run, nobody sitting by the pool


Announcing the winners, not us


We saw some flying fish one afternoon


Vegetable carving in the Atrium


Our favorite place on the ship. The spinnaker lounge. Lots of windows.  This is where lots of activities during the day were held. Bingo, Trivia, Language classes, Dancing classes, Crafts, etc...



Getting close to Bermuda. Colder weather and windy



Went to Bridge viewing room but it was not open as we were close to Bermuda, meant to go back but did not


in Bermuda


Saw a couple of rainbows



Our package included 300 minutes of internet each. The speed was reasonable



After the last night show, some of the staff and officers came to say thanks
