We are Platinum cruisers on NCL -- have traveled ( separately)with both family and friends, beginning approximately ten years ago on varied NCL ships. This was our fourth time on The Gem.
This time we traveled with our neighbors. We arranged this trip after raving about last year's. Unfortunately, The Yeshiva group made a huge disturbing and embarrassing difference and a decision not to make this an annual event!!!
The food was good, the entertainment excellent, the activities on board were skimpy. Since my husband has difficulty walking we spent our entire time on the ship. We found the usual chairhogs at the pool and little done to ameliorate the situation. The waitstaff, and Matre D, Davor at GP very good and attentive. Surprisingly O'Sheehan's did not have any desserts available late-night. Le Bistro could not compare to previous years.
