Having just gotten off a 10 day Regal Princess Caribbean cruise on Nov. 6th, my wife & I had no intention of taking another, only a month later! That is, until we saw the almost unbelievably low price offered for this 8 day NCL ...

We just finished our repositioning cruise on the NCL Gem, which left out of San Juan, Puerto Rico and ended in New York City. We stopped in St. Kitts, St. Martin, St. Thomas and Tortola, then had 3 days at sea. We had a great time and I ...

Our cruise was on Sunday Dec, 11th to Monday Dec. 19th San Juan, PR to NYC. I flew to San Juan a day early as I do when I have to fly to take a cruise. Especially when the cruise is in the winter months. I do this in case the weather or ...

It was a good cruise. The staff were noticeably friendlier than when we were on the Star last December. Almost everyone was smiling and seemed happy to be there. It made for a nice atmosphere.
We just had a few concerns that kept it ...

This was our second cruise with Norwegian and we will definitely be sailing with them again. We spent a day in Old San Juan the day before our cruise. It is a beautiful city with some very interesting architecture. If you enjoy birds, ...

I had just cruised the previous month and per my usual routine when I return home, I immediately look for my next one!
This was my 10th cruise with NCL and 16th overall. It's still amazing to me that every cruise is different and how ...

This was my 3rd time on the Gem. I love the size of this ship. There are usually no lines or crowds like on the larger class ships.
- The itinerary was really intriguing. Very port-heavy, we left out of San Juan at 9pm and hit 5 ...

This was my 5th cruise, 3rd on NCL. We (family of 4 adults) loved this ship! Cabin was a bit small, but the balcony made it feel bigger. The gym was fairly large, lots of cardio equipment but not as many weights. The shows were great ...

We always fly in at LEAST one day early for any cruise and it has saved us from missing a South America cruise. Two of our four other cruise mates for this cruise learned this "rule" the hard way and missed a full day in San ...

Mandarin Spa Week Pass: First time I bought the weeklong pass and am glad I did. You will love it if you like to have an elegant calm space with just a few other passengers. The lounge chairs face the front of the ship have the best ...

This was our first cruise, so I have really nothing to compare to. I can say however that it was exceptional value for money, and that we are planning on going on another cruise with NCL soon. We certainly hope it will be a better ...

My husband and I chose this cruise, because, we won it in a raffle on our previous cruise. We needed to do Thanksgiving week so that my husband would have enough time off. The Gem was beautiful! It was by far the best Norwegian ship I ...

We chose this cruise as a spare of the moment thing and were not expecting anything since this is our first time cruising. We heard a lot about other cruises but we didn't know anyone who had gone in a Norwegian cruise before so we did not ...

We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary offered, the smaller islands in the southern Caribbean and ports we'd never been to. We arrived in San Juan the day before the cruise and stayed at the Sheraton Old San Juan, ...

We did a BTB Nov 13-27.
Ship: The Gem is a medium sized ship. We prefer this size rather than the Getaway class ships which are often filled with too many kids.
Cabin:Our starboard mid ship balcony cabin was good size for us - I ...

This was absolutely one of the best itineraries we've done in all of our 21 cruises! Puerto Rico, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and Tortola.
We arrived in Puerto Rico a day early and stayed at the S.J. Suites in Old San Juan. ...

Flew into SJU the day before our cruise and stayed at the Marriott Stellaris & Casino in Condado and it was beautiful on the beach. Would stay again. It was just my husband and myself.
We arrived at the port around 10:45am and ...

This was the first week of a “Back-To Back” cruise on the NCL Gem – November 6th then Nov 13, 2016. Our first cruise of this length. Did this as we would hit 11 ports during the cruise. Also in light of the high airfare ...

We have cruised with Royal, Princess and thought that we would try Norwegian because neither of the aforementioned had all of the islands to visit in one week (Barbados, St. Kitts, Martinique, St. Maarten, St. Thomas), as this particular ...

Overall our cruise was just "ok", not the experience we were hoping for. Nothing major went wrong, just several small things were a hassle which added to my disatisfaction with the trip. We normally choose an inside cabin in ...

Service was great, food was bland and choices were limited (unless you pay extra for the "good restaurants"). For me, it is more about the ports and this cruise had great ports. Asian restaurant was fair. Ive been on another ...

The Gem is doing interesting ports of call out of San Juan. We chose the Grenada/St Lucia/Dominica/Antigua/BVI tour. Mid-sized ship with the expected amenities for its size. Staff was very very nice and accommodating. My only complaint ...
