This was our first cruise and we booked it sort of at the last minute because it was cheap and some friends were going. We were told it was a weird itinerary - NYC to Bermuda, just a half day in Bermuda, then on to Nassau, Great Stirrup Cay and a long day in Port Canaveral (7 am to 1 am). We were also told it would be cold in Bermuda and the seas would be rough in January. But everything turned ...
We love, love, love the Gem and her staff and crew, and as usual they did not disappoint us. We are suite travelers (aft penthouse, no Haven on Gem). Having been on the Gem many times for us it was old home week with greetings from all of the staff and crew we have come to know and love. This is one of the things that keep us coming back.
We have done this itinerary many times and usually only ...
Had a wonderfully relaxing vacation on the Gem. Our cabin 9158 balcony was kept immaculately clean by our terrific steward, Victor! We had plenty of room and enjoyed spending time on the balcony during sailaway and once we reached warmer weather. We visited Cocoa Beach by shuttle (thru NCL) from the port, dropped off by the surf shop. There were clean bathrooms and a short stroll to the ...
We just sailed on the Norwegian Gem Dec 8-15. We sailed from NYC to Port Canaveral, FL, were supposed to stop at Great Stirrup Cay (their private island) but the sea was too rough, to Nassau, Bahamas and back to NYC. It was our first time on the Gem - we've sailed on Breakaway 3 times and the Escape once. We really liked the smaller ship. The crew was so friendly and hardworking. We were upgraded ...
Service was wonderful!
We ate every night with Edel and juicy J !! They were great ! We love Faisal ! He was always sooo helpful with all our questions and the workers on the boat always remember us and asked us how our day was. Mantobi (washy washy lady ) was always soo cheery and made our day !! And morning ! She is the sweetest! The shows were great. Food was absolutely delicious. Ate like ...
We took this cruise because it sailed out of NY and it was around the dates we were looking for. I’m so glad we picked a balcony room and that it was mid ship. Sitting out on the balcony for down time was soooo relaxing looking out on the beautiful blue water, hearing the sound of the ocean along with the breeze was so delightful! This was my first cruise and I think if we had other than a balcony ...
This was our very first cruise ever. We had a great time. The food, drinks, service, entertainment, and overall atmosphere was good all around. We were given a great room on the 8th deck. It was a few steps from O'Shehans which was great. Everything was clean. The food at the Moderna Churrascaria was delicious. Make sure to get some of the roasted pineapple. I'd go back just for that. We ...

I am a first time cruiser and I am so thankful that I was able to experience my first cruise on the Norwegian Gem.
The staff on the ship is top notch. The Cruise director, Lorena, and her staff made everyone on board feel like part of the family. My boyfriend and I had such a great time participating in the daily activities on board and experiencing the nightly entertainment. There was never a ...
We won the cruise at Foxwoods. So we decided to give it a try. It was the best thing we ever did. It was our first cruise ever. The boat was so big I was kind of scare at the beginning,but a few days on the boat we were great. The food was unbelievable.if you couldn’t find something to eat it was your own fault. Everywhere you turn food,food,food.our stateroom was soooo nice. I miss it. We had a ...
