I just got off the Norwegian gem to celebrate my 60th Birthday. First time on NCL. This ship is very boring. The food was disappointing.There was little or no activities of interest during the day. The one decent eatery that you did not have to pay for was O'Sheehans which you could not take out the food to your room. Room service charges $7.95 delivery and the food was not good. Same buffet and activities every day. The music for dancing sound system was awful. Casino small and very limited payouts. The bands were pretty good but sometimes off key. The best highlight on this ship was the shows/entertainers. They were excellent. Staff was nice. Cruise Director was blah... The port days were good and my mini-suite was a great room. I went with a group of 10 and we were all disappointed. I never will sail with NCL again.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin MB
This mini suite cabin was very accommodating and comfortable. It was roomy and the balcony was a nice. Would definitely recommend a mini suite.
Port Reviews
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
We used an independent tour operator to take us to Disney springs. It was group of 11 and we enjoyed our ride and activity. After having a rocky sea day the day before this port, it was welcoming to be on land.
Great Stirrup Cay
Beautiful water and weather. My group enjoyed this port. Very relaxing.
Nassau
Nice shopping experience and great weather. Another beautiful day in the Bahamas.
