Review summary

The Norwegian Gem is a hotel of insects and bugs. We were bit by sandflies and sandfleas that were breeding in several rooms on the floor. We alerted guest services and they told it us (it was part of being on a cruise). We also found bugs in our food not once but twice, when we alerted the staff and management they gave us a glass of wine to make-up for it. A bottle of water will also cost you $6 with a cheap glass of not very good wine costing you about the same. So they felt like the $12 worth of wine made everything okay? It's a week later and I had to be placed on antibiotics because one the sand bugs laid eggs under my skin...and my wife cant wear shorts or skirts for the rest of the summer because of the ugly scars and bumps that haven't gone away yet. NEVER EVER AGAIN taking a Norwegian ANYTHING!
