New Year's Eve on the Gem 12/29/07 - 01/05/08

We are from NYC and both in our mid 40s. This is our second cruise with NCL.

We did not arrive to the port until 2:30 p.m. but upon arrival it was easier to get the bags checked-in as there were plenty of bag handlers available and the pier was not congested at all. There was really no one directing us to the correct line, we basically just followed a sign that said "Latitudes." After going through the metal detector we went on another line and this time we did not see the "Latitudes" sign and we were waiting on a long line until we realized we did not have a number (apparently everyone had these numbers, which allowed you to embark once that number was called through a loud speaker) I decided to go back and obtain the number and then saw the "Latitudes" line and got on that one instead. We were on line for approximately 10 to 15 minutes and we were checked in within 5 minutes and boarded thereafter. So in all the embarkation process was probably approximately 30 minutes.
