Review summary

The Norwegian Cruise on the Gem was extremely enjoyable.  The staff on board went beyond our expectations to make our comfort and enjoyment  a priority.  From the cleanliness of the entire ship, to the food and entertainment, it was obvious that this organization pulled out all the stops.  My wife and I had a ball and we will cruise on Norwegian again.

Whatever your choice, from lounging on the pool decks, to rock climbing to games participation, you can be busy, or not, all day and most of the night.

The Cruise Director, Gio and his staff produced wonderful shows, every night, and we enjoyed the theater, the singers, and dancers, the Comedian, the Broadway Belter, and the Fantastic Gem Orchestra.

The Room Cleaning and Makeup staff were extraordinary.

Cabin / Stateroom

Small but efficient. We used the cabin only for sleeping, and showers.

Ship tip

Don't overpack. Select comfortable, elegant casual clothes and clothes suitable for swimming and lounging, and that will suffice.

Ports of call

New York, New York Did not visit port

The embarkation and disembarkation process was fast, and easy.

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
Limited time to visit Disney, and others because of lengthy shuttle time.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5
The day we arrived was a bit rainy and the water choppy, so we remained on board the Gem.

Nassau, Bahamas

Everything for a great local shopping experience is within a 5 minute walk from the docking station.
