Overall, the cruise was very enjoyable. The cruise staff were very nice and helpful. by lorime25

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Canada, New England, New York

It was a fall foliage cruise, but unfortunately we saw very little color due to a warm summer. The ports of call were still interesting and I enjoyed learning a bit about Canadian history.

Norwegian Just So So by Quilter78

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Canada, New England, New York

Norwegian buffet foods are the same everyday...gets very boring. Dining room can be good, hit & miss. Norwegian seems to push Specially dining. We ate at Cagney's & Le Bistro both very good.

NCL Gem 8/18/18 by mvl26

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Have been on this ship before and now see a big decline. Major staff cutbacks. Most days only 1 bartender at pool bar. Wait long time for drinks. Charged additional US tax per drink without being notified first. Common area bathrooms were not attended to. They were filthy and out of paper the majority of the day. Nightlife was poor with very few options.

Very relaxing by ptms1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Had a great time on this cruise. The 7 day cruise gave us ample time to relax and enjoy the ship before and after our excursions, and we ended up very relaxed when we sailed back into NYC. The entertainment was excellent and my only criticism about the Stardust theater was that there were many uncomfortable seats that folded too far down toward the floor. Our stateroom slept 3 but the pull out chair blocked access to our balcony and was not comfortable at all.

Nice Caribbean Cruise by daniellefischer

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Nice caribbean cruise. Embarkation was very very crowded. Our cabins were not ready and everyone crowded in either the buffet or the atrium (main lobby). So crowded that you could not walk around or find a seat. Had to stand for an hour until the cabins were ready

Terrible by nohael

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

I felt pressured to purchase things on the cruise especially the spa staff. If I did not purchase something after they explained it to me they made me feel terrible about it. After my massage, I was in an enclosed room with the staff pressuring me to buy more things and when I kept saying no she got upset! The food is the same old. The wait staff were great at the restaurants.

Family 7 day cruise on the Gem by beamsi

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

AS this was a family cruise with 4 kids, Parents and Grandparents, I felt there was enough to make everyone happy. The food could use an improvement. Even in the Specialty restaurants,. Le Bistro was our favorite and we ate there 3 times. I had a bad experience in Cagney's, but the staff tried their best to make it better, so i appreciated that. I was pleasantly surprised by the roominess and efficiency of our statement. We had plenty of space and did not feel cramped at all. And the location on deck 11 mid-ship was perfect for getting around. All in all, we had a great time.

NCL Gem to Bahamas by MikeMfromNJ

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Not enough time in the ports. Also, not much for teen son to do. He was bored. Teen club was babyish and there was no place else for them go. He is a social outgoing kid and he met a large group of kids. They were wondering the ship and the security was chasing them away. Last year we cruised on the Breakaway and there was much more for his age group. Something as simple as keeping the basketball court open past 5:30 would have remedied this. Don’t know why is was shut down each evening.
