I feel it is important to point out the differences between two ships fromthe same line (Norwegian Cruise Line).18 months
ago my wife and I went on our first cruise ever.We went on the Norwegian Gem and we are still talking about it yet. Food
was great service was great all staff from the captain to the cabin boys could not do enough for you.This year we went on
the Norwegian Jade expecting the same servive. Sadly we were wrong. Food was ALWAYS cold and complaining made no
difference at all. I had an"upgrade" because we had been with this line before the "upgrade" was directly under the 24
hour eating place and we were lucky to mget to sleep at all. Complainig made no difference at all and the staff at the desk
were rude and just could not be bothered.Information received throughout the cruise was terrible for example the nightly
letter would tell you to"advance you time by one hour " and then the First Officer would come on in the morning and say
"I hope you remembered to put your time back by one hour".Maybe not a big deal but there were quite a few senior
citizens on board who were quite confused.I could go on and on from the Captain (who only appeared at photograph
time) to the bad cabin. I cannot understand how there so many problems between two sister ships. You have been warned
