Thanks for the good review on the Gem will be on the Gem in August to Bermuda first time on the Gem. I agree can not stand all the bad reviews. Go have fun folks.

So nice to read a good review. People should realize that 1 or 2 people out of 3000 and over just don't post because they had a great time. Most of the complainers have not done their due diligence with cruise expections far exceeding the realities, some seem to think they chartered the cruise.

Yeah we were on same cruise also. Would have loved to have had the time to take it back. It did a week long to Mexico before heading back on the 27th. First time on Gem and loved it.

Great trip!

NCL has to review its business and service paradigm. I will not return until it does.
