Norwegian Gem Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We have been cruising since 2006, always with NCL, I will never travel with another cruise line, the best is the free style cruising, we are so happy to be continuing traveling with NCL

I was really impressed with NCL's food and its culinary staff. They were really dedicated to serving good food. Lots of healthy options. Salad bar was wonderful. I only gained 1 pound despite eating more than usual!

the cruise was a lot of fun, that's due to the group of people that we traveled with, if it was just the 2 of us I wouldn't be able to say anything nice

I had a very beautiful cruise experience which I will remember forever. I am sure I will take NCL again in the future.

Enjoyed our time on the Gem. Bar Harbor was not as expected and difficult for my husband with a walker. Food, entertain and overall service was very good.

Trip was awesome first time cruising will definitely go back wish stay in Bermuda longer

It was incredible. Can't wait until the next one!!

I loved my first cruise and am thankful to cruise.com for finding me such a fantastic last minute deal that made my trip possible. Would definitely cruise again! Thank you!

Was very surprised with the lack of entertainment/shows in the main theatre. There was one comedian 4 nights, although he was good. Lots of games you had to pay for.... The show that we did see was excellent~

My wife and I are mid- seventies and needed a complete change of scenery, and the cruise gave it to us 100%. Food and entertainment were top notch, along with the services we received. Would recommend it any day

First and foremost, the staff on the Norwegian Gem, is beyond amazing. So, my review has nothing to do with the employees on this ship. However, I will never book another cruise on the Norwegian Gem. I was actually shocked to see, how much access children have on this boat. I’ve never seen children, ones that were even in carriages, allowed in bars and clubs, at 10:30 at night. At the Spinnaker, on more than one night, adults were trying to enjoy and dance, but, it was impossible since there were kids doing cartwheels in the middle of the dance floor. Not sure why this is allowed? We were all looking forward to GLOW party. It is usually for adults only, yet, there were kids running around, everywhere. We stayed for a half hour and we left. Other cruises I’ve been on, there are designated areas for kids. Obviously, the parents just wanted to have fun and disregard what their kids were doing. At Magnums, there were children, sitting at the bar (on the stools) at 8 o’clock at night. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED?? Also, at Magnums, there were elderly people looking for a seat, for Randon’s performances. There were kids on iPads, sitting in various parts of the lounge area, with NO parent supervision. Why?? Why can parents just leave their kids in a BAR?!?! As for the outdoors, we couldn’t even get into one of the four jacuzzis, because they were filled to the brim with kids and teenagers, for the entire trip. I will also say, that a lot of fellow cruisers, on this trip….said that they will never cruise on this boat, ever again, because of the above-mentioned issues.

We have been on several NCL cruises to Bermuda. This time we saw the decline in entertainment. We also couldn’t find anywhere to sit on sea days. We won’t be back on this cruise ever again. Very disappointed.

Bermuda never disappoints! Cruising there is fun and docking there for a few days is amazing!!!

Fun and Beautiful cruise! While we had some concerns over the food and the quality (or non-exsistance) of the Wifi over all it was a great trip! I do wish we could have had more time on the island, but the activites on the ship were fun and kept us busy, with lots of space to chill and relax as well.

It was 12th cruise with NCL 2nd on Gem. We never had any problems or complaints. This time our room was changed from a picture window to obstructed window. When I asked if rates went down. Our room smelled like sewer they came back after 2 days fixed it then the smell came back. Took 2 days to fix a draw that was broken. Disembarkment was chaotic.

Overall it was disappointing. We've cruised Royal Caribbean several times, and we'll return to that line.

I am not sure I will cruise with Norwegian again.

We have been to all the ports in the itinerary except the Stirrup Cay Island but we wanted to escape the cold & celebrate my husband's birthday, so we booked this cruise. Compared to the many past cruises we've taken with NCL, this was a mistake, starting from the wrong cabin, down to the food & entertainment.

Pls beef up your buffet! And loosen your casino! Lol

Overall great! This was our 3rd time on the gem. Service was very good. No complaints about anything. Our 17th cruise.
