Overview
The Norwegian Gem offers people of all ages a fun experience.
Starting in the morning, passengers can be found at the buffet or laying out on the pool deck. In the afternoon there are lectures, basketball courts and a climbing wall to take advantage of on the Norwegian Gem.
The evening brings a chance to check out one of the ship’s tasty specialty dining restaurants like La Cucina Italian Restaurant or one of the grand dining rooms like Magenta.
Keep your blood pumping with a spin on the dance floor or a magic show before retiring to your comfortable stateroom.

Along with the excellent staff, the ship's spic-and-span cleanliness and general air of efficiency set the tone for a wonderful cruise. Perhaps because the purpose of our cruise was R&R, we especially appreciated the relaxed quality of the freestyle dining and casual dress code. Even at the general food venues, the food was fine. We joined the spa for the week and loved it. Very relaxing and well run. Cruise director Dan Dan was wonderful; the entertainment was good; and the ports were fine. All in all, a winner.
Pros: Well-run, very clean, well-maintained ship. Pleasant, professional staff. Freestyle dining. Spa.
Cons: Nothing.

All in all the trip was wonderful and after staying 5 days in New York City the cost of the 9 days on the Gem was a bargain with wonderful entertainment and delicious food. We enjoyed the two days out at sea and the two days coming back at sea to relax and unwind.

The ship, staff, food & entertainment was excellent! From the time we got on board- Every one of the staff went out of the way to make us feel welcome. We discovered a wine that is awesome- North & South by Norwegian Cruise line. Perfect for listening to live music.
Pros: Having the freedom to do what I wanted everyday.
Cons: non!!

Having a Complete beverage package which I used lightly; Maybe 3 per day, I find I had to solicit service in almost all the venues of the ship. I think I was asked approx. 3 times during the 7 days if I wished a cocktail. On most other ships, they drive you nuts with bar service.
Pros: Clean & Efficient
Cons: Questionable bar service
