Norwegian Gem

Last Cruise before Coronavirus

Apr 7th, 2020

This cruise was 10 days from New York City. Three days in everything on board changed due to the coronavirus. We were no longer permitted to serve ourselves in the buffet, to pour our own cup of coffee, there was nothing on the tables in the dining rooms, salt and pepper came in little packets. Washy washy was not only in the buffet anymore but everywhere on the ship. Faced with this challenge I believe the crew went over and above to keep everyone on the ship safe. NCL has always been my favorite cruise line but this put them heads above anybody else out there. I am truly grateful for the way they handled this. The crew is to be commended for the way they stepped up. NCL should be very proud of the crew on the Gem

Wonderful ports.

Funny how the clientele differs depending on where you embark. We did this ship for 31 days total- the first 21 days out of S.F. had ~5 kids total, then the 2nd part of 10 days out of NYC had 600 kids! LOL!

Great itinerary, and a nice ship

We loved the fact that out of ~2400 passengers, there were only about 5 kids onboard. Long cruises are like this.

Different than previous cruises...

Not enough variation of food on the buffet, need to COOK the bacon--most people do not like "wiggly-way under cooked bacon", way too much salt--let people add their own. Be a little more generous with some of the dishes (sides) in restaurants and speciality restaurants. Garden cafe--uses too many red onions in the tuna salad!!

LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THIS CRUISE!!

Overall the cruise was amazing! I would do it all over again!

Worst NCL ship

Mar 18th, 2020

Of all of my NCL cruises, this was the worst. The entertainment was horrible. The band's were horrible. They managed to ruin every song sang. The food was the same everyday. No change. No variety. Cagney's steakhouse was great but you must ask for food hot. Everything served is warm. Moderne was delicious. Hated La Cuchina. It was buffet food served nicely.

Fabulous!

We've been on larger ships but they don't compare to the Gem. She is our favorite. We had a wonderful time!

March 6 Caribbean cruise

Mar 18th, 2020

All the ports were great that we went to. We never got to St Thomas. We were denied entry. They told us it was the seas but I doubt it. Such great entertainment and all staff were amazing.

Caribbean not so much

Mar 12th, 2020

It was a terrible start. Elaboration took over two hours people in line were fainting. The gem did not have bar service in buffet, only beer and opened bottles of wine

Love the Caribbean
