It was our first cruise and we loved it! We really happy we chose the Norwegian Gem.
Even though this time of the year there aren't too many young people cruising, we were able to meet some young people and party together.
I highly recommend you to get Ultimate Beverage Package, we saved a lot of money. Most of drinks cost less than 12$ and we had a great time enjoying our drinks. We were even able to take a LOT of bear to play "beer pong:" and "flip cup".
Nice, clean. Even though the ocean view was obstructed, we just needed a little bit of daylight to see what's going on outside.
