I chose this cruise because it was a smaller ship, the departure city of New York was easier to travel to than flying and paying a lot more money. This cruise was affordable as well. Embarkation was a very smooth process, disembarkation was not so easy because of the time it took to go through customs and the fact that it took three hours to do so since there were only two agents working on a busy ...

This trip was hands down one of my favorite vacations that we took! Leaving from NY was simple, easy, and quick. We were with the Casinos at Sea program so going through embarkation processes were sped up. Got into boat around 12:30 and got into room at 3:30. We ate at the pool grill/buffet that they have there. Here is my rundown of everything that happened. Food: The food is fantastic ...

This was my first time ever going on a cruise. This was a family trip so there was 8 of us all together. 6 adults and 2 children. We Celebrating my moms 50th Birthday. The staff were amazing about singing her happy birthday and we had her room decorated. Our rooms were very nice and very clean. Next time I will get the balcony room well worth the $$. The Stewards were amazing. The food and ...

We were looking for the perfect 10th Anniversasy Celebration Vacation! We chose this 7 day cruise to the Bahamas and absolutely loved our first cruise experience. The ship itself was beautiful and very easy to get around. The entertainment was great with something for everyone to enjoy. The live music groups, the theater shows, the acrobat couple, and the comedy show were all WONDERFUL. By the end ...

Looked for a short trip that took in where we wanted to be. Which is why we booked this one out of New York. Spent a few days prior to the cruise exploring the city. We had never been to the Bahamas and this cruise seemed to fit the bill. The Gem is a smaller ship but well maintained For what we got it was very nice the Bahamas are beautiful but also more touristy than we expected. But ...

My family and I really enjoyed our first family cruise in 20 years! Norwegian made it very memorable. The embarkation and disembarkation process went very smoothly. If traveling with anyone who is elderly or has a disability they have expedited service to assist. We wanted to leave from NY on a 7 day cruise which only allows for 3 stops, that was our only regret. In the future we will leave from ...

We chose the cruise due to the itinerary we had never been to New York or Nassau or Great Stirrup Cays. Towards the time of the cruise my husband wasn't able to go so I went with a friend from school! We were Jenn and Jenn! Our room steward was the best he took such great care of us! The staff was such a delight! We didn't want to go home but unfortunately all good things come to an end! Thank you ...

Background: We are a married couple in our 30's with no children. We have sailed with NCL several times previously. The day before, we arrived at the Hampton Inn Ridgefield Park, where we had booked a "Park, Stay & Ride" package. We typically park at the pier, so this was a first for us. I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff was at the Hampton Inn. It was very clean, pleasant and ...
