After some time in Panama City and a slow trip back home, our bags are unpacked and I am now provide this very subjective, but hopefully balance, review. Overall, we had an excellent cruise with good to excellent food and service. By way of background, we have only sailed on Oceania and this was our 6th cruise with them.
Embarkation
We had registered for a 12:30 boarding time but found ...
This was our first cruise ever. We enjoyed the Norwegian Gem. We had chosen a balcony room on the 11th deck. We did get the room we chose and it was much bigger in person than what the pictures had shown. Our room steward was very accommodating and friendly. When your room says DO NOT DISTURB, they wont even knock for anything (EX room service). I did NOT like the tub though. It had such high ...
In all of my years cruising Carnival this cruise director was the first I’ve come across that actually made people want to follow him and be apart of everything he was involved in or suggested! Superb job!!!
They need promote him to trainer for cruise directors, for real for real-his energy is crazy good. I watched old and young vibing with him. Hope to come across his path again.

We had an amazing time celebrating NY on the Oasis. We chose this cruise because we loved the idea of a longer cruise that included stops in Curaçao and Aruba which were new to us.
Cabin
Went with a balcony guarantee and got deck 6 forward near the Vitality Spa and gym. I was worried about movement but it was minimal and was a great cabin. Very quiet, great location only 1 deck up from the ...
Overall great experience, friendly staff, amazing food, fun entertainment, exiting excursions. The cabin was very nice, clean and comfortable. Beautiful restaurants and incredible service. On the downside the Virgin app needs work. Different information shown on the app when you are not connected to the ships WiFi, which caused some confusion and made us miss our excursion in Bimini. The spa ...
Lovely all inclusive cruise. Don't nickel and dime you. Soda, water included. The beach club at Bimini is spectacular. Shuttle both ways lunch, lounge chairs, umbrella. A 5 star day. Lovely service all inclusive, no tipping. They should stop at Bimini twice. Nicer than any other island. Immaculate ship. Great shower. Very easy to leave on the last day. A very diversified crowd. ...

Our experience from boarding to disembarking was a breeze. The crew from top to bottom were always pleasant and friendly and helpful when needed. We can’t wait to book another cruise!!!!
Our favorite dish was the steak covered in cheese from Pink Agave. We were able to make reservations and eat at almost all of the onboard restaurants. We even tried the test kitchen. It seemed every time we sat ...
I sailed once before on Valiant Lady, from Barcelona to Miami. It was a great time, so I am a return customer. I did find that the Scarlet Lady showed more wear and tear, it’s still got great cabins, great food and great entertainment.
The room service is good, though I felt the quality had dropped slightly from my first Virgin voyage. The restaurants and the food court are all excellent and ...
