Ocean_Waves Posted November 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello, We booked to cruises. One in the Jade out of Miami end of November '18 and one at the end of November '18 on the Dawn out of San Juan. We plan on cancelling one of them, we wanted to book both so we wouldn't miss out on the 5 free sale. Which cruise would you pick? We have never cruised with Norwegian before. So we don't know what to expect. Here are the itineraries: Jade 11 night cruise: CRUISE PORTS EMBARK Miami (Florida); Cartagena (Colombia);Panama Canal/Gatun Lake (Panama); Colon (Panama); Puerto Limon(Costa Rica); Roatan, Bay Islands (Honduras); Harvest Caye (Belize);Costa Maya (Mexico); DISEMBARK Miami (Florida) Dawn 11 night cruise: CRUISE PORTS EMBARK San Juan (Puerto Rico); Oranjestad (Aruba);Willemstad (Curacao); Kralendijk (Bonaire); St. George's (Grenada);Bridgetown (Barbados); Castries (St. Lucia); Philipsburg (St. Maarten); Tortola (British Virgin Islands); DISEMBARK San Juan(Puerto Rico) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcdds6 Posted November 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Can you do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted November 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I would do the canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean_Waves Posted November 27, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Can you do both? Unfortunately, no. They leave one day after the other. If someone figures out how to be at two places at once, then I'm all for it!:'):') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean_Waves Posted November 27, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I would do the canal. That's what I want. But the Norwegian rep talked my drive into the one on the Dawn. Said they don't usually do some of the ports that they are going to with the Dawn. I salvaged it by compromising to booking both and thinking about it. Normally I would think a rep picks one over the other because price is higher. But the Dawn is actually cheaper. So it kind of shocked me when we called in about the Jade cruise and he brought up the Dawn cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted November 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Jade is a better ship. Dawn / Star class is the worst design in the fleet. NCL ruined Dawn when they eliminated the deck 12 forward observation lounge. Dawn has no great outdoors area aft. to Boot.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted November 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Jade for a better ship and a better trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakman58 Posted November 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just my opinion, the Jade is the better ship and I would choose the Panama Canal over the Southern Caribbean cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegeeter Posted November 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The Dawn itinerary also looks exhausting to me. Six port days in a row is too much - you'll be a zombie by Barbados and St. Lucia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
