Day 7 on the Jade – Croatia
admin 
Lsst full day on the ship and a stop in Croatia. Kenzie wanted to stay onboard with the Splash Academy so the rest of us went ashore for a little walk. Mom really wanted to see the Sea Organ… Very cool!
Day 6 on the Jade – Kotor, Montenegro
This is not a regular stop for the ship and only one they do when they are repositioning from their winter route to their summer route. The cruise director recommend getting up 2 hours before we were scheduled to arrive to watch the route in and it was beautiful! We even found a playground for Kenzie.
Day 5 on the Jade – at sea
Relaxing day on the ship. Brad took the behind the scenes tour and Kenzie spent time in the Splash Academy.
Day 4 on the Jade – Sicily
Jodi was feeling under the weather and didn’t make it off the ship today, but the others ventured into Sicily for a short walk. Kenzie had a great time making friends in the Splash Academy. She had her face painted as a zebra in the morning then joined back up with the group in the evening to dress up as pirates and march throughout the ship on a treasure hunt!
Day 3 on the Jade – at sea
Today was spent traveling at sea. Kenzie got to spend some time at the Splash Academy and had a blast seeing her first magic show.
Day 2 on the Jade – Napoli and Pompei
Our first stop was in Pompei and the only stop where we scheduled an excursion. Walking the the ruins of Pompei was one of Jodi’s bucket list things to do.
Day 4 in Rome – on to the ship!
Staying close to the train station made our commute easy this morning. Just a one hour train ride to our port and then on to the Norwegian Jade! Within 15 minutes of boarding the ship we were at the buffet. Within the first two hours Kenzie and Jean were in the pool!
Day 3 in Rome
Brad, Cindi, and Jean started off the day by going to the coliseum and Jodi and Kenzie met up with them and went to the Piazza Navona. Drinking from the little fountains and throwing coins in the big ones! Then, on to the Pantheon.
Day 2 in Rome
today started with a trip to the Vatican then we split up so Jodi and Brad could take a Segway tour. It was a great way to see all the major sites in under 3 hours!
Leaving Venice, Day 1 in Rome
We decided to skip one day in Florence for an extra day in Venice and we were really glad we did. We had a great apartment at a great price and it gave us time to wander without feeling rushed.
We took the water bus to the train station and took the bullet train to Rome.
Once in Rome, Jodi and Brad went to a restaurant with no menu. Their sign says, “you’ll eat what we feed you.” Here’s the woman behind the whole meal – it was great!
