Love NCL Gem and received great value for our cruse. All aboard were very friendly and helpful to make our cruse a great time. The entertainment was well planned and preformed with precision. The bars were great and the unlimited drink package was very fine, had drinks with breakfast thru midnight. Specialty restaurants were great, Teppanaki dinner was presented well and he put on a great show cooking it. We really enjoyed the evening and food. The other restaurants also had great meals and great staff. We had hit some rough weather on the way home and the Captain put the ship in high gear to get us around the worst of it but we did have to go thru some 21 ft waves for about 20 hours. The ship really rocked and rolled and stuff was flying everywhere but I must say the Captain kept us safe and we were thankful but some people were green. We did have a great time and would recommend the trip to anyone.
