We went on this cruise with 13 people because we had a lot of young adults with us and figured it was the most economical. First off the pool area is way to small for the size ship. When your on vacation you shouldn’t need to get up at 6:30 in the morning just to try and save a few seats together. If the pool is packed your not getting a seat if you show up later than breakfast. Second we had ...
Family and friends suggested we try a cruise. This was our first cruise for all of us. It was the most memorable experience and I look forward to another. The staff was kind, courteous and made sure our stay was enjoyable and unforgettable. The entertainment and activities were endless. The cruise director did a excellent job.
Embarkation was smooth as well as disembarkation.

My fiance and myself decided to sail with the Gem because a huge chunk of my family wanted to go on vacation together. We ended up with a group of 28 (though we all booked separately) and overall had a blast.
The buffet food was delicious, and they had a different theme every night (American, Caribbean, BBQ, Mexican, etc). There were burgers, pizza, and a few other staples each night for my ...
I did this cruise on the Dawn a couple years ago and had a great time. However, Norwegian seems to be cutting service on the Gem.
The boarding process seems to have improved. We spent less time standing in line and our baggage was delivered much faster than in 2017. That is where the improvements end.
The ship itself has seen better days. Aside from the gaudy decor, upholstery, fixtures, ...
I choose this cruise because I wanted to stay at the same port over night and I have never been to Bermuda. We departed from Boston. I had been to Boston so I did not have to need to explore the city before the cruise. The entire cruising process went smooth. The food and entertainment was great. There was always something to do on the ship if you wanted to keep busy. I did not travel with ...
Well my daughter and son booked the cruise months ago. My husband booked it for us a week before he passed away! My children & doctor thought it would be good for me to go and he would want me too! well everyone was right it was good for me. I felt he was there with us!
I asked my sister to go with me, so she was my new roommate!
I enjoyed watching my grandchildren at the pool going down ...
My family and I went on the Norwegian Escape on July 7th to Bermuda. Let me start with the pro's getting on and off the ship was excellent. It was fast and smooth. The Specialty Restaurants were excellent. We had dinner at Cagney's, Teppanyaki and La Cucina and the food and service was excellent. Now for the con's -- most rude and nasty staff. They never had a smile on their faces and ...
The quality of the crew, their attentiveness and professionalism was far lacking. It was apparent they did not care to be on the ship. From boarding to disboarding the overall attitude toward passengers made me wish I was not there. The quality of the food was horrendous, soups had no whole ingredients and were clearly powdered. I myself was sick the entire trip! The setup on ship was a detriment ...
I took this cruise as a last minute solo trip leaving from NYC as I could get a fare with no surcharge and no plane flight required.
The NCL site jerked me around on price a few times and "my" representative wasn't helpful at all. He promised to call me back after the fare doubled if there was something better (he didn't although fares dropped even lower).
I arrived at the Manhattan Cruise ...
Sailed the Escape last week with my wife and 8 year old daughter.
Overall a great cruise. The ship is amazing and the crew is wonderful. I can’t say enough how professional, courteous and efficient in every single aspect they are. That alone makes for a great time.
I was also able to get a few different tips from this group so thank you as it made for a better time.
As for some of the ...
