Left from NYC for Cape Canaveral & Bahamas on 8/5.
1. WIFI - since this is where my biggest complaint was figured I would put it at the top... the WIFI package is a complete ripoff. I know I should put my phone down for a ...

We decided to book this cruise as our anniversary vacation. The fact that it was "Open Bar" didn't hurt either. Before we left, i read reviews from past passengers and was worried based on what was written. However, it wasn't ...

Went with other families. Embarkation was average. Disembarkation was terrible. Put handi-capped person in the longest line to get to customs desk. Had to complain to get sent to right line. Very long lines and only 3 terminals open. Food ...

This was my first time cruising along with my boyfriend and so we didn't want to pick a long cruise and we liked that the entire cruise was open bar. The buffet wasn't that great, but to be honest, that's how I feel about most buffets. ...

My husband and I have cruised on the Dawn to Bermuda for the last three years and thought we'd try something different. We chose going to the Bahamas on the Gem for this year.
We flew into Newark airport from Boston on a 6:40am flight. ...

This cruise leaves from New York City...I live in Pennsylvania so no flying! I took my husband, our daughter, our son, his wife and our two grandsons.
The mini-suites were not as large as on a Princess ship but we did not spend much ...

I do a family & friends cruise every Year. They were never on the Gem and wanted to do this cruise. I have been on the Gem 3 times before. I have always had very good experiences on the Gem. However, this time was different. The ...

We chose this cruise because of past experience on the Breakaway. The Gem is a smaller and older vessel, but we did not feel rushed or had to stand in long lines for the buffet, main dining rooms, bars, etc. We traveled with with kids ...

We always cruise Norwegian. My only issue was the shore excursions. I didn't care for the Stirrup Cay shore excursion. People were leaving dirty plates everywhere and the birds were circling around pecking at plates left on tables. ...

I have been on several different ships, and for me the GEM is my favorite so far. Sailed on the GEM twice already and will be sailing on her again this September. I couldn't say anything bad about this ship, the service staff, ...

We will strongly consider Norwegian for our next cruise. Here's why... Flexible dining was great. Specialty dining options were excellent, especially Cagney's. O'Sheahan's Irish Pub was great -- open 24 hours! Leaving from our home ...

In a nutshell, this cruise has got it down to a science, it's as easy as checking into a hotel for a great long weekend. We flew into Ft. Lauderdale the night before sailing, stayed at an airport hotel and then the next morning took MJS ...

Chose this cruise for the 2 day stop in Havana. Must have been a beautiful place at one time. 40% of structures unsalvageable , 2 collapse each day . 60+ years of communism has taken its toll on a onetime gem. Average wage $18-25 per ...

We had a great time on the Norwegian Gem (June 17th-24th, 2017). We have only taken one other cruise before (last year on RCCL's Anthem of the Seas) so weren't sure if NCL would be able to top it. NCL certainly beat it in price although ...

We wanted a cruise out of NYC so we would not have to waste a couple of days with airport hassle. We recently were on Anthem of the Seas and found it too "modern" and too crowded. Last year we were on Oasis of the Seas and really ...

I have cruised Carnival before and decided to give Norweigian a try. I liked the idea of "Free style" cruising and found that it was indeed the case on the Gem.
The Gem left out of NYC which was extremely convenient for me. ...

A great way to see Havana. One of the few cruises stopping for 2 days. Really a must to get a good feel for Havana. NCL was fine. Cabin very small -we almost always have a couch; this one had room for just one chair (rather worn). ...
