A Classic Jewel With Room to Spread Out
Norwegian Jade began life in 2006 as Pride of Hawaii, sailing for NCL America, and took her current name in 2008 as the second of the four Jewel Class ships. She carries about 2,350 guests, so she is easy to find your way around, yet Danny points out how much deck space there is even on a full sailing. Highlights include The Haven courtyard and private sun deck, Moderno Churrascaria, Jasmine Garden with its sushi bar and Teppanyaki, and Bar City. Norwegian lists a 2026 refurbishment that added Vibe Beach Club.
Danny filmed this tour in 2025 on boarding day before a sailaway from Port Canaveral, starting above the pool deck and working through the spa, the kids’ clubs, the specialty restaurants, The Haven, the atrium and Bar City before finishing in the Spinnaker Lounge. A few things have changed since: Vibe Beach Club is new and the 24-hour pub is now listed as O’Sheehan’s. Watch the full tour below, or jump straight to the part of the ship you care about most.

Norwegian Jade Highlights

Pool Deck
The main pool deck has two large pools with shallow ledges for sitting, four hot tubs and a bandstand in the middle that gets the sailaway party going. Topsiders Bar & Grill serves burgers, hot dogs and fresh fruit with drink service across the deck, and The Pit Stop bar above has an automotive theme. A huge sun deck sits one more level up, and Vibe Beach Club now adds an adults-only retreat on Deck 15.
Mandara Spa & Thermal Suite
The Mandara Spa offers massages, facials, seaweed wraps and Med Spa treatments, plus a salon and a barbershop for shaves and haircuts. The Thermal Suite is a separate pass, with ladies' and gents' sides that each have a steam room, sauna, cold plunge and a hot tub facing the ocean. Between them sits a shared relaxation room with heated stone loungers, infused waters and teas, and a thalassotherapy pool couples can enjoy together.


The Haven
The Haven is Norwegian's ship-within-a-ship, and on Jade most Haven suites wrap around a private courtyard. It has a small pool, a hot tub, steam rooms in the changing rooms and a dining area with breakfast, lunch snacks and evening bites, all under a Magrodome that opens or closes with the weather. Upstairs, a private sun deck has extra-comfy loungers and cabanas with daybeds, open only to Haven guests.
Cagney's & Moderno
Cagney's Steakhouse serves classic cuts, appetizers, soups and salads at dinner, and suite and Haven guests can eat breakfast and lunch there every day. Next door, the Sugarcane Mojito Bar opens later in the day and leads into Moderno Churrascaria, the Brazilian steakhouse. Diners start at the salad bar, then passadores come around with skewers of chicken, pork and beef, carving at the table until guests flip their card to stop.


Jasmine Garden, Sushi & Teppanyaki
Jasmine Garden is the Asian fusion restaurant, with Japanese, Chinese and Thai dishes, and it works almost like three restaurants in one. The sushi bar sits right alongside it for rolls and sashimi, and guests dining in Jasmine Garden can order from the sushi menu too. Teppanyaki has four hibachi tables of eight, where the chefs cook fried rice, vegetables, chicken, steak and shrimp with plenty of flair.
O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill
Just above the atrium, the pub Danny knows as Oceans, now listed by Norwegian as O'Sheehan's Neighborhood Bar & Grill, serves casual complimentary food from early morning until after midnight. The menu changes through the day, from French toast and eggs at breakfast to Reuben sandwiches and burgers later on. Below it, the atrium has a baby grand piano, Starbucks, guest services, shore excursions and the duty-free shops.


Garden Cafe & The Great Outdoors
The Garden Cafe is the main buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a salad bar, a grill, made-to-order pasta, pizza, Indian dishes every day and plenty of desserts. Complimentary drink stations serve infused water, lemonade, iced tea and juices. Out back, The Great Outdoors extends the buffet onto the aft deck on both sides, with a grill, soups and sandwiches, a full bar and tables under a shade tent.
Bar City & Le Bistro
Bar City links three bars in a row. Tankards Beer & Whiskey Bar has some high-end pours, Mixers Martini & Cocktail Bar shakes the classics, and Magnum's Champagne & Wine Bar opens into a bigger lounge with live music before and after dinner. Le Bistro, the French restaurant found on every Norwegian ship, is right through here, with classic and more modern dishes, plus a cigar lounge nearby.

Signature Experiences on Jade
SS United States Library
Jade keeps a real library with physical books, named for the SS United States as a nod to the old days of cruising, with a ship model in the middle and a card room right next door.
▶ See it · 7:38Spinnaker Lounge
Perched at the top of the ship and all the way forward, the Spinnaker Lounge has windows wrapping about 270 degrees, tiered seating, a stage and a large bar, with trivia by day and music at night.
▶ See it · 30:50Promenade Deck
Outside on the old-school promenade deck, guests can stroll the ship the way travelers did in the early days of cruising. Danny likes it for close-up views when the ship sails through scenic areas.
