The NCL Gem was a delightful experience. The crew was so nice and helpful.. the food was excellent.. the entertainment was excellent. I couldn't be more pleased with a Norwegian. I've been on the oldest ship (spirit) and the newest ship (breakaway) and both of those experiences were either awful or just overcrowded.

The cruise director on this ship was hilarious- Dan Dan. The food staff really went out of their way to either get more of my favorite dish or serve me fresh poached eggs, etc. The itinerary was good too.

The only cons I could really think of was how understaffed the bar was often and how watered down the drinks were. If we hadn't had the unlimited drink package would we really be paying full price for those watery drinks? Eh. I could almost see how quickly the liquid poured out of the bottles..
