Norwegian Gem Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I loved the cruise, enjoyed the experience and the ports. The cruises with US and Canada ports of call are sooooo much better than the Caribbean cruises. You don't get hawked at all.

First ever cruise,had a really good time cruising with family and friends. We surprised friends from the UK, who were celebrating a 50 th birthday, great birthday present.

First cruise, fantastic ship and amazing crew. Booked the next one on the Jewel , January 2019 New Zealand . Very excited to be on the seas again with Norwegian

A good cruise to interesting places we had not seen. Great dining options with allowances for casual dining attire. Some improvements can be made in the buffet, drink package, and over-crowded bars as described above.

I enjoyed this whole cruise from start to finish, weather might not have been just as good for other people but it was warm for us from N. Ireland anyway walking around in shorts and t-shirt while Americans made u feel cold with jackets zipped up to the throat nearly and trousers on.

Overall, it is a good vacation for my family. Staffs are kind and nice. GEM is kind of an old vessel, but it is still in a good shape. However, I wish there was at least one dinner night served with lobster tails like it used to be. And a lot of people including myself, don't like the super expensive Wifi charges.

I love NCL. Two years ago the ship was reburbudhed so we were looking forward to going on it again since last time we loved it! Was not impressed with what was reburbushed. Guess I set my standard to high fir NCL but still had a great time

It was ok, not sure that I would ever go on another one. Just not for us. It was too crowded and on a hot day at sea you want to be able to hop in the pool, not even our 12 year old son and his friends would go in it.

For a first-time experience, and the amount of money I spent, I will not wish the Gem on anyone that wants to have a great vacation. It was overwhelming seeing the people bunched up by the pool area so early in the morning. GEM, should keep the seats by the pool to a limit, not have them all around the entire space for so many hours. Let the people dip and walk around but to relax on a beach chair the entire day is a downer. Encouraging positive, and not lazy behavior. Too many rude, disorganized people on the lines and no one to direct them in an orderly manner. It wasn't what I expected. I really expected a relaxed vacation. I came back home drained.

What a BLAST of a time! We had so much fun. Loved the pool, the restaurants were great. Orchids had some amazing food, I wish we would had discovered this from the beginning. Wow!

Even I don't have a previous experience in the cruise I can say this one is amazing my family and I had a wonderful experience in all aspect. The ship, the services and the places we visited exced our expectations thanks a lot.

All in all my favorite part of this ship was the entertainment loved the spinnaker lounge great shows there loved the night clubb bliss it's huge wit nice sofas the complimentary restaraunts were good also pool area very crowed pool kinda small to many kids in the hot tube slide looks outdated the buffet desserts were good but the buffet food horrible same thing everyday had a problem wit backed up to tolits on my my whole floor very inconveint customer service needs help badly my card keep getting cut off for no apparent reason when I had the ubp seem like the age range on this cruise was 50 and up couldn't really find to many people in my age group to mingle wit all in all descent cruise

my favorite ship of all. Best cruise i have ever been on.

This is the best way to go on vacation It was my very first ship cruise and I have no regrets at all. If you have traveled by airplane on vacation elsewhere, I hope you will agree with me. I highly recommend ship cruise.

We had such a great time, that we booked another cruise before leaving this one. Looking forward to NCL Escape next September to Bermuda. Thank you NCL for a great experience.

This was my 1st cruise with NCL and not my last. I enjoyed this one so much that I booked Bermuda for next year. From the staff in the terminal to the crew on board, we had a great experience.

went Aug 12. our cabin steward Jacinta was great. He was friendly, helpful and greeted my sister and I by name all the time. The rest of the staff was also friendly and helpful. I'm not sure why people have said they aren't. Sure they weren't always smiling, but then again who always smiles while working. Anytime I smiled and said hi they smiled back and greeted. I would ha e to say this time the food was a little bland at times but it wasn't horrible. the bands were excellent. all in all we had a really good time!

I went with my sister and had a better time this second cruise on the Gem. The first time in 2016 on the Gem I didn't know what to expect and was a little apprehensive. My favorite were the shows on the ship. The food was good but the buffet was crowded. We got the drink package which was totally worth it (I like the mixed drinks) There were also a LOT of kids this time being it was summer vacation for them. The other downfall to this time of the year was it was brutally hot in the Bahamas, 95 to 100 degrees with high humidity. Overall it was a fun trip!!

Had awesome time 😄😄😄😄😀😀❤️❤️😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ had fun with family and friends would like to go on again good food liked splash academy good timme😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Had a great time on the Gem. Good first time cruise. I look forward to bigger ships with more space and less overcrowded lido deck. Definitely recommend.
