Review summary
Our cruises with Norwegian have been fine over the years, but this one made it to the top of the list. The ship was laid out so you could find your way quickly and without effort. There was lots of room for whatever you wanted to attend. The buffet had such a great variety of food for each meal and it was so good. The entertainment was the best. Even the captain entertained twice and he was just a great entertainer. The ship was so spotless and the room stewards cared and worked so hard and worked well together. It was a lot of fun to be on. Everyone was so kind.

I'm glad to see other people notice how well the Gem is laid out. It is the main reason I keep coming back to the Gem. There were 2800 passengers on that cruise (I was on the same one,) and for the life of me I can't figure out where they all were. None of the venues were empty, but none were overcrowded. None of the other ships I've ever been on do a better job of dispersing the crowds. this is not to mention the style with which the GEM does it. No plasticity shopping mall decorations, but rather wood, glass and luxury.
