Review summary

The NCL Gem is not one of the big new ships, but there is still plenty to do. The weather was too cold to swim so all the bars were full. We ate all dinners in the specialty restaurants. NCL should visit these ports during the summer months

Portland is too dreary. We went to Kennebunk & Kennebunkport for a lobster boat ride and lunch at the Pilot House.
