Differences between Jade and Gem

[tikkas]

Hello! We´ve been on the Gem and we´re booked for a cruise on the Jade in June. I was wondering what the differences between the two are. I know they´re the same family, but there must be some differences, or not?

They are almost identical. The Jade doesn't have the weird furniture in the public rooms, and it also doesn't have a rock climbing wall or bowling alley. Where the shopping arcade is on the Gem, the Jade has another lounge. The Jade's shop is aft on deck 7, where the Gem has the Bubbles lounges and bowling alley. Overall, the differences are minor. If you've cruised on one, you'll feel at home on the other.

I've been on both, and prefer the Gem. It was NCL's flagship until recently (and in my mind, still is), and seemed marginally nicer. The Jade's decor sometimes makes my eyeballs burn. But, yes, they are quite similar.

Also on the Gem they have a coffee bar to sit at it is not on the Jade, I like they coffe bar to sit and hang out before going somewhere else
