I chose this cruise because the were only 4 consecutive sea days. As soon as I booked it the itinerary change to 5 sea days. 3 days into the cruise it was changed to 6 consecutive days at sea. I understand things like weather come into play. You accept that when you book. You also expect that when you add days the cruise line would have some sort of activities to make up for the lost ports. This ...

We decided to use the opportunity of the low cost of cruising in 2009 by booking 4 different cruises on 4 different cruise lines in the Mediterranea in November and December. It took a lot a research,but finally we booked consecutive cruises on the Costa Victoria,the MSC Splendida,the Azamara Quest and the NCL Gem. Even though at first sight these ships seem to fall in different categories,the ...

First some background for context. We have been on several cruises over the past ten years. Our last 3 cruises were all on the QMII so this time we thought we would try freestyle on this transatlantic to try the other end of the spectrum and because of the itinerary and the price. We had read the reviews and our expectations were low but we tend to make the most of any circumstance and any day on ...

I will only cover the areas where I feel I can add anything to the already comprehensive reviews of Norwegian Gem & the Transatlantic sailing Dec 07 (Barcelona to Boston).
Stateroom: Our stateroom, a mini-suite was very nice - well equipped with a fantastically comfortable bed but I'm glad it was just the two of us and we didn't need to use the sofa bed which would have made things very tight. ...

At 1st I want to state that I "was" a true mega fan of NCL, but the last cruise just put us over the top and will not sail with NCL anymore. NCL became a new but cheap Carnival (there the food is at least better), in the last couple of months. Arrival: We (3 of us) arrived at the pier and the Concierge picked us up and brought us to check in and up to our Villa...nothing bad or good, just the ...

My husband and I just returned from our Transatlantic cruise on the Norwegian Gem. To say the least, we were very disappointed in almost every aspect of this ship.
We booked our whole trip through NCL. Our flight from Cincinnati, OH, through JFK, to Barcelona went very well. Our transfer from the airport to the Princess Sofia Hotel was excellent. The Princess Sofia was located in the center of ...

First, let me say I am a travel agent, but my review here is to give the potential NCL guest a taste of what to expect from this ship and the cruise line.
I did arrive a day early via SAS to catch up on sleep - I do recommend this when embarking at a foreign port. The cab ride from the airport hotel to the pier was easy - and not too expensive ($27 US.)
The embarkation process was very easy - ...

Boarding the Gem was a pretty easy process; although there was a long line for Latitudes members and absolutely no line for non-Latitude members. Not one single NCL agent in the other area made any attempt to call those of us in the Latitude line over to help us. I found my cabin with ease but when I opened the closet door there was trash on the floor and every single wooden hangar with on the ...
