Review for a Canada & New England Cruise on Norwegian Gem

Of all the NCL ships we cruised on, The Norweign Pearl is our favorite. So we had high hopes for the Gem and it did not disappoint. We arrived at the New York Cruise Pier early and my son and I explored the USS Intrepid (which is right next door). Around noon is when we got in line to embark, which went as smoothly as any other embarkation. As usual, the Garden Cafe was crowded for lunch but we ...

This cruise was given to us by our children for our 40th Anniversary. As they say "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth" :)
As such, it was a wonderful trip, and NCL have very nice personnel.
Still, this being our second NCL trip, and 4th Cruise overall, it is worth mentioning a few things.
Some thoughts about food:
1. For whatever reason, no lobster was served on the ship. Strange for ...

We are Platinum level cruisers with NCL and the Gem is one of our favorite ships. We decided to use a cruise leaving from New York to have our wedding (and then a local reception in July). We invited everyone to join us, but most opted for the July party. 4 other couples (incl our matron of honor and best man) came on the cruise. Well, we had the time of our lives. NCL handled the wedding exactly ...

Food was very good, staff was excellent, very polite and friendly.
Service in general was very good.
Excursion tours was alot to be desired..Bar Harbor tour was very disappointing.The buses for the tours were not good at all. The St.Johns tour bus had no air conditioning, the Halifax bus had leaks in the window and we were advised this bus was new. At least the tour guides were exceptional ...

Joined my son and his family. They chose the Gem for the itinerary, which did not disappoint. However, after sailing on the Getaway and Escape, we found onboard activities lacking. The Atrium has too small a space and not enough seating to accommodate the more popular offerings.
The food in the main dining rooms was adequate, but not great. The specialty restaurants had the same good quality ...

After going on many cruises down to the Caribbean, my husband and I thought going up north would be a good change. We had been on the Gem 2 times prior and really like the size of this ship.
It was nice to go on excursions that did not involve snorkeling and such. We went on nature watching cruises and lobster cruises to help pull lobster traps. The only downside was the weather (which I ...

We’ve done several NCL cruises..Gem, Jade and Jewel. I love the crew. They are very nice, cheerful and helpful. Favorite times include the amazing entertainment, the outer deck delicious barbecues, the fabulous experiences in the specialty restaurants and those cute, fun towel animals. I could go on and on but the crew deserves the credit. They are the best of the best at sea.
Our family ...

The amenities were great. The entire staff that we encountered were 2nd to none. Every where we went they were willing and ready ...

We chose this cruise because there were 12 people in my family (with 2 elderly parents) who wanted a vacation without flying or driving 10+ hours. My husband and I were on the same ship, same itinerary three years ago. We found this ship not well organized at all. To inquire about specialty restaurants, no one answered the phone. You had to stand in line for ONE staff person to service 2000+ ...

My husband and I are in our 40's and cruise a lot. We have cruised Princess (which is our favorite), Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Azamara and have been on the Norwegian Getaway twice. We go to the Caribbean a lot and this was a nice change. Overall, I thought this was a great cruise. I am surprised at some of the poor reviews. We just go and try to enjoy the fact that we can ...
