Exceptional Vacation by rlcclegg

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

Cruising is a wonderful way to vacation. Leaving out of Boston, as I live in Rhode Island was very easy and made a difference to not fly to the port. Bermuda is a beautiful island. I look forward to going back in 1-2 years. One of the best vacations I have ever had. I have cruised with Norwegian Cruise Line before and I have not been disappointed

Average, not quite as expected this time by jcbenoit72

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

After cruising Norwegian for 8 times this cruise was disappointing. We took a few years off due to a new edition to the family and was super excited to cruise again. We love to cruise out of Boston for the ease of it and realize the ships are not the greatest due to the port size but the convenience factor is great for us. Next time we will try another cruise line

Beautiful trip. by iourikate

Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

In general small , but very nice and clean ship. Kids outside activities like soccer, or something outside should be better.

Boston To Bermuda in July by fcervone

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

Great Cruise, enjoyed every minute but I love cruising... Some things could have gone better like the paint smell in our cabin. I understand that they need to do upkeep but unfortunately it was outside our Penthouse Suite...

Great Cruise to Bermuda by cargoettes

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

So glad we booked this cruise through BJ's! The process was easy with great results! We enjoyed every minute of this cruise and we are looking forward to going again. It's great cruising out of Boston. No planes or trains to take to get to Black Falcon Pier!

Norwegian Gem - Freestyle, but not my style by DougBaptiste

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

My wife and I have cruised for nearly 25 years and cruised on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and now Norwegian. I work in guest relations for a major international hotel chain and I know a thing or two about providing an excellent travel experience. Norwegian does some things well at the expense of other things. Entertainment and live music were among the best of any cruise line. The food is acceptable in variety and quality. The personal pampering that should be the foundation of any cruise is in need of major attention and improvement.

so,so by mariadeluca

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

I have cruised on other cruise lines. Unfortunately, I have no desire to go with Norwegian in the future. I do not understand how people are allowed to put towels on the chairs and never return to them. We waited 2 hours for a chair by the pool! We asked if we could use the ones that were strapped together but we were not allowed to take them down.You do not have enough chairs to accommodate all the people on board.

An overall ok trip as a first time cruiser by Jobeautecreole

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

It was a great experience overall with my family as our first cruise. we will definitely consider other ships to compare. All of the hidden charges that I had to find out on my own after booking was very unpleasant as a first time cruiser. Most of the waiters and housekeeping staff were superb. My son got sick and had reds bumps all over his body, we went to see a medic, which was very expensive and unfriendly.

Just as exhilarating as all the others by edhark50

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

As you go on more cruises with NCL, your membership increases to different levels. Once Platinum is reached, we believe there should be a better discount from the Tradewinds area.

Relaxing Cruise to Bermuda by dicarlorn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

Overall this cruise was a great experience! I would cruise to Bermuda on the Norwegian Gem. Downloading the app to be able to explore the ship and the activities before embarkation was very useful!

Relaxing by cahnoel1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Norwegian Gem / Destination: Bermuda

See above. I feel that McLean gave us what was promised... newly updated boat. Friendly and uplifting staff. Well organized. Area of improvement... add water to bev pkg. other issues related to cabin was travel agent error and lack of concern in that issue.
