Norwegian Gem Review
Rating by category
Additional details
If I had never been on a cruise before perhaps I would have found the Gem to be very nice but having cruised a few times before, on a different line, I must say that I doubt I would book a cruise on Norweigen again. Certainly not the GEM. I would rather pay a bit more up front and be sure to have consistantly excellent service and quality.
Perhaps due to the cruise line or as my husband tried to convince me a sign of the economic times?… I felt things were cheap…and corners were cut.
Was a nice, restful vacation with pleasant ports and lovely scenery.
Cabin Review
I called to book my cruise directly through Norwegian web site and cruise consultant. I was advised not to select larger room/suite on 11th floor because of potential noise and activity on the 12th floor….Well …booking aft 8thdeck room for view and balcony … BIG MISTAKE!!!! turns out it is above the night club that opens @ 11:30 pm! loud base music and noise every night until 3am!!!!! Also…bathroom with sepeated toilet way too small..and toilet paper ….NOT Charmin that's for sure!Shower,temperature, water pressure and size... nice but could not dry myself without opening the door into the state room.Room/furniture also smelled sweaty…..I could not sit on sofa because of the ordor of old perspiration like a teen age boys hair after a football game.
