Unfortunately, the NCL Executive Office removed Alexandria off of the itinerary until April. In my opinion, Cairo was why most people booked their trip, and it was very disappointing to find out. I have friends living in Cairo, and all have informed me it is as safe as always, and it was more media hype than anything. There was many protests a couple months ago, but now they've dissipated, next month, even safer. It sounds like a premature decision taken by the executives to me.

i booked a shore excursion before to Cairo with a great travel agent this month i wish to be great, friend recommend this company to me and think its very friendly and lovely because they answer me very quickly and they work 24/7 days a week i think it would be gladful from them to organize my trip.

We are sailing on 12 January 2013 and have been informed that the cruise is no longer going to Egypt because it is unsafe apparently. Very, very upset to miss this country!!

I am cruising jan 2, 2013, and have already booked my excursion to Cairo. I was in Cairo during the revolution and felt safe. I would recommend seeing Cairo via a NCL recognized tour group. Go have fun, but be aware of your surroundings.

hi, we're an Arizona couple. Yep, getting pretty excited. Do all of you know about the meet and greets scheduled? There is one the first night at 9 AM at the Atrium bar and one at 11 AM at LeBistro the next morning (Thursday).

All NCL ships have Wi-Fi. However since the ship is mostly metal, the wi-fi signal may not be the best at all places. You can purchase minutes in blocks of 30/60/100/250. It costs $24 for 60 minutes and $100 for 250 min.

The answer to the second question is yes.

The Jade does have wi-fi. You have to pay for it but for us it was worth it because we used it to call our kids on face time. We had a mini suite and we had one bath robe.

You are allowed to bring your own sodas and water. You can check them or carry them on board. The products must be sealed or risk confiscation by the security.

All NCL ships sell Pepsi products.

We sailed on the Jade two years ago and found the Blue Lagoon to be a nice place for breakfast and other meals as well. Service was good, so was the food. Don't forget that Breakfast in your room is an option as well, nice on those days at sea when you are not in a hurry to go anywhere.

If you want to select from a large variety of items, stick to the buffet but the buffet can get crowded.
If you prefer a quiet breakfast you can have it in the Blue Lagoon but the trade off is the limited menu items.
