You're welcome. I'm so proud of myself - got it shrunk down and posted - all my by self. 
Just proves you can teach an old dog new tricks.
I do have to say I'm very surprised that you had a poor showing from Henry the First - he spent a great deal of time with us after my mom passed away and we had to debark the ship - maybe it was the circumstances, even though he was more than accommodating for the first 7 days of our cruise. Really went out of his way to the point we sent an accommodation letter to NCL when we returned home.

Too cute, now we know he wasn't on the Jade - at least not on the 10th deck.

By the way anyone considering the Jade over the winter(UK people might be) there are some stonking deals being reported with Owners suites for £1399 including flights and tips for the 12night itineraries ex BCN.
UK prices are now cheaper than the US for most of the Jade cruises.

Nice to see, so many were upset with the pricing from the UK being so high - and they complained loudly - maybe someone paid attention.
I did see the 50% off second passenger listing - which included some sailings between Jan/Feb - prices looked very good. But after spending 3 weeks in Europe this past winter (after the Jade TA) I don't think I'm personally looking to head there again this year. Although we did miss quite a few things, so one never knows.

Have finally managed to complete uploading all my pictures.
Now just need to label and edit them
Be warned, there are a lot of them but you may find them interesting if you are doing this trip next year or was on it with us this year. You may even spot yourself

I though I uploaded a lot. At least I cut it back to 766. I just got out the calculator 1594 of your pictures on webshots You are a better man then me. I would have gone crazy uploading all those pictures. You should get them all labeled by boxing day.
Cheers

Easier to upload virtually all of them, then will delete the unwanted ones, if I ever get round to it.
Just didn't want to fall into the trap of never getting round to sorting them out hence never uploading them, like last year's Baltic trip
Besides they look really good when it's fresh in your mind, not so rosy tinted later on.
Started a new idea this time. Taking pictures of the ship behind buildings , even better if you just get the funnel with the NCL sign just sticking out the top.

Hey guys, did you get your Latitudes ship pin during the Jade cruise? Still waiting for mine. I do like the pins but there weren't any available during our TA cruise.

Thanks Tanti - I guess I'll have to call Latitudes to have them forwarded.

Presumably these are all gone now? For I can see nothing that is even close to this description.

http://www.cruise365.com seems to have a deal with NCL you cannot get these prices with NCL for AE and up, lower grade are sometimes better with NCL unless they drop the prices..
http://www.cruise365.com/searchpages/CRUISE_ncjame29nov089apr09.htm
The 12Dec 9n dropped to £314pp bestavailable inside and the upgrades are also available so a G for this price(if any left, not checked today)
http://www.cruise1st.co.uk are also offering some good packaged prices.

Wow! Those prices are amazing! And they include tips - presumably because the Brits have been lining up to remove that item from their final invoices.
I've never heard of these sites but I'm definitely bookmarking them. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. I really appreciate this information.
Mind you, I just don't understand what game it is that NCL is playing. First, they charge the Brits double the US rate, now they are reversing that policy and charging the Brits half the US rate: the 12 Dec sailing has the AA for £1,099 pp versus $4,499 per the NCL US site. I haven't checked the US rate going through a US discount TT but I don't expect to find a discount much in excess of 15% off $4,499. Plus the on board tips are included in the UK rate!
If NCL continues with their dual pricing policy, they may well end up with disgruntled customers on both sides of the pond.
