We chose this cruise because of past experience on the Breakaway. The Gem is a smaller and older vessel, but we did not feel rushed or had to stand in long lines for the buffet, main dining rooms, bars, etc. We traveled with with kids ...

We always cruise Norwegian. My only issue was the shore excursions. I didn't care for the Stirrup Cay shore excursion. People were leaving dirty plates everywhere and the birds were circling around pecking at plates left on tables. ...

I have been on several different ships, and for me the GEM is my favorite so far. Sailed on the GEM twice already and will be sailing on her again this September. I couldn't say anything bad about this ship, the service staff, ...

Kids Camp - only open at certain times - check in and pick up were disorganized and took a while - evening hours started at exact same time as show (poor planning) - child enjoyed activities / on prior cruise much more flexibility

We will strongly consider Norwegian for our next cruise. Here's why... Flexible dining was great. Specialty dining options were excellent, especially Cagney's. O'Sheahan's Irish Pub was great -- open 24 hours! Leaving from our home ...

We chose this cruise as we have never cruised "north" and have never been to Canada. It is a good mix of ports with some beautiful sights to see.
Embarkation: We got through security quickly and right online to check in. As ...

We chose this cruise for it's itinerary (Canada/New England), and it's nearby embarkation port (no flight necessary). I was very impressed with the accommodations, amenities, staff, and general organization. Every process was simple, ...

We are Platinum Plus members and so have multiple NCL cruises to compare this cruise to. It seems to us (a married couple) that both service and food has gone down in quality, The service we received in the main dining room was ...

Background to review:
Experienced cruiser who usually books a suite for the extra room and amenities. We always choose to eat in the Specialty Restaurants because my wife is gluten free. On this cruise, we booked a Penthouse Suite on ...

My wife and I are Platinum Latitudes members. Most of our cruises have been with NCL. First time on the Gem, a very clean and well run ship. Boarding and disembark from NYC needs some attention.
We enjoyed 5 nights in the specialty ...

We love the included packages like unlimited adult beverages and so on. That is what initially made me try it plus good reviews. The Gem is smaller and the cruise was a lot more expensive than Caribbean ones but that is because it was ...

This was my family's first time on Norwegian, we have done Disney and Carnival in the past. The destination really set the tone for the trip, Im convinced that if this ship was going to the Carribean, it would have been more fun. The crowd ...

We had a great time on the Norwegian Gem (June 17th-24th, 2017). We have only taken one other cruise before (last year on RCCL's Anthem of the Seas) so weren't sure if NCL would be able to top it. NCL certainly beat it in price although ...

Caught a great deal for last-minute getaway and couldn't pass it up. The ships magnificent features in relation to its name are something most people probably didn't pay attention to but I found particularly fascinating and appreciated. ...

We wanted a cruise out of NYC so we would not have to waste a couple of days with airport hassle. We recently were on Anthem of the Seas and found it too "modern" and too crowded. Last year we were on Oasis of the Seas and really ...

I have cruised Carnival before and decided to give Norweigian a try. I liked the idea of "Free style" cruising and found that it was indeed the case on the Gem.
The Gem left out of NYC which was extremely convenient for me. ...

We were given this cruise as a Christmas gift. We've never cruised before or even thought about one, and when we were offered it, weren't sure, but agreed to go. A trip to Halifax, St. John's, Bar Harbor and Portland wasn't exactly on ...

We chose the NCL Gem due to the port itinerary. We did not have high expectations for the ship, so no real issues. The staff was friendly and helpful. The ship is seems a little dated and tired. Food and restaurant selections were not ...

Last minute cruise booked 3 day prior to leaving. Great price but only guarantee cabins left. Ended up with a Deck 8 inside. Great location close to elevators and stairs. We were a little worried at first because this cabin was under Bliss ...

The way in which people rave about NCL, I expected more.....
We wanted to give NCL a try as friends had good experiences on other NCL cruises that left NYC. We had been to two of the three stops before so we opted for this getaway to ...
