We had the best time on our Panama Cruise on the NCL Gem. The staff are reallly the gems of this ship! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. You really had the feeling they all just wanted you to be happy and have a good time! The ship itself feels cozy and warm. It's beautiful and has so much entertainment. We had wonderful musical acts, magicians, comedians. Entertainment on this ship is so ...

this was our 6th cruise and we always wanted to go to Panama.
Everything was fantastic from start to finish, the crew, staff, food excurtions, weather
we had cruised on Royal Caribean Harmony of the seas in 2018 and we felt it was too big for us, Norwegian Gem was a better size , we got to know a lot of people , we want to go back tomorrow.
First time my wife and I had a cruise alone ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s
This was our first cruise ever. We enjoyed the Norwegian Gem. We had chosen a balcony room on the 11th deck. We did get the room we chose and it was much bigger in person than what the pictures had shown. Our room steward was very accommodating and friendly. When your room says DO NOT DISTURB, they wont even knock for anything (EX room service). I did NOT like the tub though. It had such high ...

We have cruised on other lines before, and this was our first experience on NCL. We are now huge fans! First of all, I loved the Gem - the ship is perfectly sized for me. It was easy to get around, and there were lots of areas to sit and hang out with a book and a drink. My favorite was the Spinnaker Lounge early in the morning with a book and a cup of coffee (you can get coffee right around the ...

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Norwegian Gem

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s
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 ...

The start of our cruise was extremely easy. We all tested at the pier which was well organized. Only about 30 people in a group. Once your test is negative you get to check in for your cruise. Took about 1hour for everything. No more Muster drill. You have to watch a video and once on board you fine your muster station and they sign you off. Very easy.
The ship was only at 730 capacity. We ...

This was the third time our Caribbean cruise was rescheduled due to two years of COVID cancelations. We arrived with negative COVID tests and took another rapid one on day of departure. We thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. 5 of us were first time cruisers. The staff were incredible. Kudos to Ivan, Egy, Farrot, & Nythin to mention a few but the biggest surprise was the fantastic band Sonata. They ...

My wife and I enjoyed our first cruise since the pandemic began. It's great to be with people again!
We arrived in Miami the day before the cruise, using a free-night coupon to stay at a hotel in Miami Beach.
With everyone vax'd, and pre-boarding testing mandatory, masks for pax were not required aboard the ship...although all crewmembers that I saw were wearing them.
The testing before ...

My girlfriend and I were dying to get back on the ocean after the Pandemic. We had already had two cruises cancelled and this one was one of those, "let's just put a fall cruise on the books" type arrangements. Little did we know at the time, it would be our first cruise back.
NCL is operating at reduced capacity with fully vaccinated crews and guests. This means, all the cruises right now ...

Cruise was amazing. We were booked to use their transfers. There was over a 3 hour wait at Miami airport. So we didn’t use the transfers $50 a person, and took a cab for $25 per trip. I’ve been trying to get my money refunded but heard from them in the initial request. I countered a response and have not heard anything since, over 30 days. I will never use their transfers. They’re a rip off and ...
