Gem is a beautiful ship which is kept clean and well maintained by an excellent crew. Getting on ship was very easy with suite had priority embarkation after going though security was on ship in about 20 minutes. Staff is extremely attentive and friendly, always greeting you with a smile. Cabin 10504 was big and spacious with amazing service from Teresa (Butler) and Room Steward Andy. Dining was ...
My wife and I sailed on Norwegian Gem Sept. 1st 7 day Bahamas cruise from NY. I cannot say enough good things about the ship, the crew and the food. The crew was extremely friendly and always went the extra mile. The cruise director was top notch and provided excellent entertainment and kept things fun and hopping. The captain and his crew kept us informed of what we needed to know and did an ...
For our 40th wedding anniversary we chose to cruise out of New York harbor for it's ease of access from home. That requirement narrowed choices to a few and NCL's Gem was the pick. After that, a decision was made to spare no expense in an attempt to make our cruise week convenient, hassle free, and to allow ourselves to be pampered. That pampering began right from curbside where as penthouse ...
I have traveled by NCL cruise line twice before and had an excellent time all three times. There was every little detail pertaining to our comfort taken care of. My whole family had an enjoyable time, and from every angle possible. The staff were fantastic from the people who spray us with anti bacterial before we eat to the housekeeping staff. We would not cruise with anyone but NCL. They have ...
This was our first Cruise and it was AMAZING everything was organized embarking and disembarking from beginning of our trip to the end. The ship staff was professional, friendly and helpful all day everyday. Our cabin was cleaned everyday with a different towel animal on our bed when we retuned to our room. The food was delicious with so many different verities of food to choose from. I liked that ...
I will like to thanks Lorena, Kat and all the staff from the Gem it was a fantastic experience been with your guys this week.
Lorena Y Kat was fabulous with the entertainment.

Also the guy who clean my room was very good. Thank you for the service and for all the animals he did in on the bed.
The food was very good. ...
Three generations of my family went on this cruise, and everyone found something to enjoy or a way to relax. The staff was excellent, in the dining room, cabins and the shops. The food was unexpectedly good as the quality of cruise food generally has changed dramatically since we first started cruising 20 years ago. There was very little repetition in the entrees and the chef was very creative. ...
The mainstage shows on board the Norwegian Gem were the best of any cruise line I've sailed. The singers and dancers were truly top-notch, and the arrangements (orchestrations) and performance quality were superb. I loved the high energy of the dancing and the variety of the three show themes (swing, country/western, 70s). Knowing that the singers are classically trained, I would love to ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to try a Norwegian cruise. The date, destinations and departure worked well for us. Embarkation ws smooth and organized and we were on the ship before noon. The ship showed it's age a bit but there but it's a nice managable size and easy to get around. There were no obvious problems or issues. That being said, the pools were small and the hot tubs were ...
I love NCL.
We had just sailed the Escape in May and decided to book Gem last minute in August!
What a ship, what a crew.
The ship shows wear but everything else about this ship is 5 star!
Amazing staff, food... layout.

The magician Titu was fantastic.
The Sugarcane mojo bar was fabulous.
Cagneys was as good as Ruth Chris.
We wanted a relaxing vacation ...
