This was a transatantic from rome to new york. i did this cruise last year on ncl epic and didn't much like it, but i've been on the gem and other gem class ships and you were never in doublt you were on a ship, no matter where you were. it looked like a cruise ship, smelt like a cruise ship everyone knew. the giant floating shopping centers don't appeal to me. i don't want to have to board ...

The cruise was great the food was great entertainment was awesome. Now the 20.00 a day gratuities was very strange. We were told the crew does not recieve the gratuities we were charged. We asked several of the servers they told us they only got what the contract stated. We went to the front desk filled out a form stating we would do our own gratuities and we did you have to hand them cash or they ...

Flew into Venice one day early to rest up for cruising. Stayed out in Quatro d'Altino which was fine. Have been in Venice before so knew we would save the city for our port day. Embarkation was easy. Was glad that we could sign up for spa while waiting to board as that is a priority for us. Loved all the ports on the Greek portion. Did things on our own everywhere except Santorini where we took ...

We left NYC on a Saturday afternoon. All went well. The embarkation was organized and there were minimal frustrations. That was not so with disembarkation (noted later). We weren't shown to our room, but that was ok. We knew how to find it. A pre sailing meal was easy to find and lines were minimal. Sailing from NYC is always exciting, and this one was too.
We were in a DD ocean view. The price ...

Too many Cruise Critic members define "critic" as "someone who frequently finds fault or makes harsh and unfair judgments". Actually, the word comes from the Greek word meaning "able to discern", which in turn derives from the word kritEs, meaning 'a person who offers reasoned judgment or analysis, value judgment, interpretation, or observation". It is in this spirit that I offer my critique of ...

Warning - do not wear any jewelry you are fond of keeping to the ship's spa. The spa does not provide any secure area for your belongings. Learn from my experience. I had a spa appointment, for which they were 20 minutes late (no apologies or excuses offered). The attendant led me back to the treatment room and instructed me to place the jewelry I was wearing in my pant pocket and hang my ...

We are experienced cruises and travelers that always look for value for our dollar no matter what location or means of travel we have chosen. Our first NCL cruise was no different.
We stayed at the Marriott Renaissance Time Square in NYC prior to our April 18th cruise to Barcelona. This hotel has a prime location and we found that the convenience of the location was well worth the price. As a ...

Norwegian Gem - Transatlantic - April 19 through May 4, 2008 New York to Barcelona
This was my 12th Cruise, but first on NCL. I have sailed with Holland America, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Costa, Cunard, and Grand Circle.
Booking
I booked this cruise on-line with a travel agent. I normally book with my local travel agent, but the price was so much less I couldn't justify it this time. My ...
