Norwegian Gem Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Just so you know I have this ship to compare to other cruises. I've been on Seven other ships prior to Norwegian. My favorite Royal Caribbean hands down. I've flown and stayed at many resorts and consider myself a seasoned traveler. I've read fabulous reviews about Norwegian and some not so great. I try and form my own opinion. This is my opinion.
I loved Bermuda so much last year this time going out of NY on the Celebrity Summit that I decided to go back and took my daughter last week out of same port to Bermuda again. This time on the Norwegian Gem. All I can say is thank goodness for great weather and a very nice island as that was the highlight of the entire trip. Both my daughter and I agree this will be our last Norwegian Adventure.
Might I add that we overheard many regular NCL travelers stating this is their last as well. We spoke to a family that has only traveled NCL and claimed this was the worst trip ever very dissatisfied with crew, food and ship. My thoughts, glad it wasn't only me thinking this way!
Cabin Review
Family Balcony
Our cabin was a balcony and very clean. The bathroom was real good size with a door to the toilet and a door to close off shower for privacy if you wanted to use the sink when otherwise occupied. Service for our room fantastic! Christina was our steward. Very pleasant and accommodating. The only pit fall to these rooms are the storage for clothing. good luck if two or more girls sharing a room. Not much closet or drawer space. One of us lived out of a suitcase kept on the sofa. Both were able to hang our clothing but bring a few hangers and hang the complimentary use of bathrobes in the bathroom hooks for more space.
The room Number was 8026 in a perfect spot on ship for getting around. As well as for viewing Bermuda port
