Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Gem

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
I did not choose this cruise. I paid for it, but it was not my choice.
The main purpose of the cruise was to escape the harsh cold New York winter. That we accomplished, so the ports and timing were good, considering New York's weather was rather cold.
The embarkation and disembarkation went as normall: terrible - for just about all cruises that I have ever been on. Whatsmore, my luggage, ...

I had traveled on Norwegian once before and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This time was no different. Everyone was very helpful, professional, and cheerful. I especially liked all the entertainment, especially the cruise director. He was very entertaining and fun to watch. He wanted us to talk to him when we saw him around the ship, and he was always very pleasant when we did. I enjoyed ...

We cruised from New York to the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Martin and Tortola) on the 11th April 2016 (10 days)
Our first thoughts were that we might get caught up in the New York School Easter Holiday period and have too many young cruisers aboard and secondly that the ship seemed to have a "party" reputation.
On both counts these did not come to fruition. We missed the main ...

From the beginning I had a feeling that this cruise was not going to be any better than a previous NCL experience. We paid for VIP status and when going aboard NCL shore people shoved us into the VERY long "latitudes members" line; VIP status already out the port hole before even getting on.
When leaving the Caribbean to return to NYC we sailed up the tailpipe of the storm that damaged one ...

We Both had other cruises with Princess, Cunard and Royal Caribbean, but the Gem was just as good and in a lot of ways and even better!
Cabin: We accidentally booked a cabin with a partially-obstructed view. It was still roomy and very clean, our cabin steward made us feel welcome and was very attentive to our needs.
Food: Breakfast was one of the best meal times, with a large variety of ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
This was my 7th cruise but only my second on NCL. The other was in 2005. I am not stuck to one particular brand. I tend to choose based on itinerary. I chose this Thanksgiving cruise because the dates worked for me and I like being able to drive to the terminal.
Embarkment was very smooth. I was traveling with several family members and we were dropped right off curbside at 12:10 pm. There were ...

NORWEGIAN GEM 10-DAY CARRIBEAN: March 27 - April 6, 2015
We have just returned from our 22nd NCL cruise. It was our first time sailing on the Norwegian Gem. Our itinerary took us to Saint Thomas and Saint Martin, two ports we’ve been to many times, plus San Juan, Puerto Rico and Tortola British Virgin Islands, two ports we’d never been.
The Gem is a nice ship, but it needs some overdue ...

Having been 7 Ncl cruises over the last 3 years, this was the without doubt the worst experience of all of them. It wasn't very bad, just not as great as the others were. My main problem was staff, there did seem to be plenty staff in all areas a of the ship but they didn't seem to know what they were doing! We sat in the buffet most mornings surrounded by dirty tables and no cutlery on tables and ...

10 day cruise to Puerto Rico, St Thomas, Tortola (cancelled) and St. Maarten. Room 11649 inside aft. While the room was clean and well kept I could not understand 90% of what our cabin steward was saying when he spoke. ( poor english). Cruising out if NY is an experience in its own with the city and sights I loved leaving out of this port. We purchased round trip transfers from the airport to port ...
