mini suite on the Jade (11052)

[cmpaula]

Has anyone had this mini suite? I seems to be under the pool area but since we only have 4 sea days on a 2 week cruise, I didn't think that would be a problem. We usually book a mini suite with an inside room across the hall since we are a family of 4 (2 teens). We had also thought about changing to 2 balconies. We had 2 balconies on the PoAm in Hawaii and the rooms were SO SMALL! I am assuming the Jade is similar since it used to be PoAloha. (Or was it PoHawaii) Any opinions?

The balcony rooms on the Jade will be larger then the America's balcony cabins. That ship is notorious for its small cabin sizes.

 

I wouldn't worry about the location of your current mini suite cabins sound shouldn't be a issue.

Hi James! We had the pleasure of meeting you on the PoAm! I read your blogs and wondered where you have been. Thank you for responding and I wish you all the best:)

Thank you, James! I look forward to hearing about your adventures! I was a flight attendant for 11 years and enjoyed seeing the world and creating my own adventures...I don't regret a thing:) Now I am happy to travel for leisure with my family. One more question, if you don't mind. In your opinion, would you choose a mini-suite and inside room or 2 balconies? Our teens are 15 and 17 (boy and girl). I know they both have their advantages but since you have spent so much time on ships, I would love to know your opinion!

I would definitely choose the two balcony cabins then mini and inside. The mini suites are only slightly larger then balcony cabins and have a bathtub but that's the only real difference. Like I said above the balcony cabins will be larger then the ones on the America.

Hi,

If you do stay with the mini you will love it!

We spent 13 wonderful days in it in Aug/Sept 2008 cruising the Med.

I saw the regular balconies on the Jade and was glad we had the mini for the extra space (both room and balcony) and the tub.

Glad to help with any questions you may have! :D
