Review summary

This was my 5th cruise, the 2nd one on Norwegian. This ship had a lot of hiding fees. This was the first time that I had to pay for room services $7.95 per order. The rooms on the Gem were very small and we had a suite with a balcony. Not a lot to do on the ship. The gift shop was not fully stock. We were not happy at all with the Gem.

There is an easy fix...!! DONT ORDER ROOM SERVICE !!! It's not needed and plenty of free food late night to eat

Room service was free if you ordered in the AM for coffee, muffins, juice, toast. The Room service menu has only one section of free products. It was $7.?? Per call/delivery. Tons of hidden fees. It was so freakin annoying.

It's not fleet wide if I didn't get charged,if I had I'd agree with all of you but I didn't besides room service is not an important part of cruising,if you don't like the charge then don't order it
