Norwegian Gem Review
Rating by category
Additional details
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'll pass on this next time.
We went on the shore excursion to Balmoral Island in the Bahamas. This included the lunch, which was disappointing. You can only pick from BBQ items or pulled pork. Not some of the other items on the menu. I'll pass on this next time too.
I think I will stick to just getting off the ship and checking out the local shops and restaurants instead of the Norwegian shore excursions.
Cabin Review
Penthouse with Large Balcony
Best room on the ship, in my opinion.
One more thing. Because of the room we booked, we should have been escorted to the private room and priority boarding. The woman we asked where to go, who stands in the front with a clipboard of passengers and rooms, did not send us there, she put us in the long line with everyone else. We didn't discover the error until we were in line for over 30 minutes and we got to the regular check in.
