1. Enjoy Dinner at a Specialty Restaurant
Everyone should experience a specialty restaurant on at least one night of their cruise. While the complimentary dining options on Norwegian Jade are superb, specialty dining gives you more options. Moderno Churrascaria is the spot if you want an authentic Brazilian churrascaria experience. Start with a large salad using any combination of the staggering 43 items from the salad bar. But be sure to save plenty of room for the 12 slow-roasted types of meats that will be coming to your table and carved tableside.
If you are craving Italian, make a reservation for La Cucina. Try house specialties like spaghetti carbonara or veal scaloppini with Marsala wine sauce. Don't miss the homemade tiramisu either. For elegant French cuisine, check out Le Bistro. If it's sushi or other Japanese dishes you want, visit the sushi bar or teppanyaki grill.
When the craving for delicious steaks hits, reserve Cagney's Steakhouse. Choose from an excellent selection of premium cuts of Certified Angus Beef. The Parmesan-dusted truffle fries and made-from-scratch jumbo lump crabcakes are also popular menu items.

Norwegian Jade has an excellent selection of bars and lounges for you to choose from, including some specialty options.
