Review summary

This was my 4th cruise and the worst. I will never cruise Norwegian again.

My room was filthy there were stains on the bed sheets and furniture. The club that my wife and I went to every night played the same music every night mostly consisting of Latin music. Which we complained to the cruise director Alvin about. He promised he would get the DJ to play more of a variety of music and it never happened. When we attempted to contact Alvin again he refused to meet with us. At one point my wife went to a bar to get a drink and stood there for 20 minutes while the bar tenders served customers that came after her and never took her drink order/ I wish this site would allow me to upload the pictures of the filthy bed sheets and furniture in our room. And the ship never went to the private island that was advertised with the cruise (Stirrup Cay) and there is more.....................

Sorry for the disappointment.

I've also stayed in 8522 before.if you had 2 cots, you asked for them or never told them to put in the queen size bed.  That's what we had.

last time I was on the Gem we got to our room and our mattress was saggy.  We asked POLITELY our steward if there was anything that could be done. In less than a 1/2 hour we had a brand new bed, we saw them take it out of the shrink wrap.  

If they did that for us I highly doubt something like changing the sheets would of been a big deal.

When was your cruise?

You can't blame them about coco cay. It's a tendered port. And if you did your research you would know that ports,especially tendered ports, are not guaranteed

Why would you go to the same club if they played the same music? There are a ton of entertainment options.

That sucks that you spent the money and felt bad. You should complain to Norwegian about it. Never know what they might do.
