The Perfect Cruise

We had the most wonderful time on our cruise! The whole staff seemed to take pride in everything they did not to mention how friendly and welcoming the all were.  The ship was always clean no matter what time of the day or night it was! The food was plentiful and delicious each and every time not to mention the drinks were perfect as well! My favorite part of returning to my spotless room at night was to see what animal made out of towels was going to be waiting for me! We enjoyed the variety of shows to choose from and every show that we went to see was fabulous. We played and watched games such as bingo, deal or no deal, the newlywed game and so much more and those were full of laughter!  Barry the pianist was hilarious that we seen him several times throughout the cruise! We also took advantage of the shore excursions such as parasailing and the dolphin encounter which were both so much fun and the people that worked on the islands were also so pleasant and friendly! We can not say that we had a favorite part of the cruise because everything that we did was just perfect but we will say that when we were in Nassau and it was time to board the ship again there were other cruise lines docked where we were docked the Gem was the only cruise line that had its crew outside welcoming us all back with cold towels to cool us off, cold drinks, frozen ices and music playing!  We felt so welcomed and full of excitement, that we were dancing as we were boarding the ship!  We noticed people from the other cruise lines looking at us and how we were being welcomed aboard again that it looked like they were saying to themselves oh goodness we picked the wrong cruise line!!!!  We can honestly say that we had the perfect vacation on the GEM and are planning our next cruise on the Norwegian Gem for 2018!!!!!
