I am going on the Gem in the summer and hopefully we will like it enough to book it in our home port of Boston. I wish someday we have ships ported their year round. I will love a 9 day cruise to Bahamas from Boston.

Very cool!
I LOVE the Dawn, but nice to have a change to Bermuda with some slides and great outdoors!

Hello,
I am wondering it the main pool on the Gem has walk down stairs or just the ladder? My husband in mobilty impaired and finds it easier to walk into the pool.
Also, is there one or two pools?
thanks

I am traveling on the Gem this summer with my hubby , son and his family ( wife and 5 kids). We booked the Watson Hotel for our pre cruise overnight stay. Has oneone stayed here prior to their cruise?
This is our first time cruising with kiddos, I am sure it will be an experience. They are very excited to be going on a cruise. This will be my son's first cruise. Luckily we booked a cabin close to them, but no too close, lol.

So a couple on a cruise would pay roughly $ 1400 for drinks? I get it as a " free" perk but if that stopped I'd do a la cart. That's insane unless they throw in bottled water specialty coffee and no price cap on mixed drinks. Still would be stretching it.

I had read a review a few weeks ago.. the person mentioned some "construction" happening in the casino with glass partitions?.. seemed like it was constructing a separate smoking area. Any truth to this?.. I don't quite understand why NCL wouldn't work on resolving the smoking concern. :confused:

What shows and entertainment on the Gem? I've only been on the Dawn. Hopefully it's different than the dawn.,

Got one as well from Twin Rivers this week. What doesn't make sense is that I have been there once in two years. I do play heavily at a neighboring casino, and just received a NCL voucher, plus qualify for 2 cruises a year from them (saved me $2400 on my next cruise). So I thought maybe NCL shared their list with Twin Rivers? Not sure, but it does not make sense. The casino I go to only gives them out to certain level players. The Twin River one seems to go to everyone. The mailer even says VIP, and I am definitely not a VIP at Twin Rivers. Just odd.
I play a lot a Foxwoods and never got a voucher from them, only twin river. I visit twin river maybe twice a year.
-
can you use the voucher for $500 credit on an existing reservation or must it be for a new one? I have a trip in March already on the books and the new voucher may not be used because of time constraints. TIA
I am not sure. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
But my thought would be on new bookings only.
-
Read the small print you can use it for credit on any cruise . Based on. Play and many blackout dates I used my last one fir $500 off a cruise. I'm hoping the one I get I can actually fully use.

I remember him. He used to play in the lobby and in Gatsby, right? I did not see him this trip
-
The menus are the same as two seasons ago. I wish I took a picture. Same desserts, same classic entrees. Ariel was on the Dawn for our July 14th cruise. She did not mention leaving soon.

Thank you for the information. Do you know who the piano player was? I am on the cruise on 8/18 and hoping that Ariel is on the Dawn.
Ariel was on the Dawn on the July 14-21 cruise. We saw her a few times in Gatsbys along with Jeremiah Joseph who was a great guitarist.

I was on that sailing as well! I hope someone finds it.

I just sailed 7/14 and while waiting to embark I noted there was a lot of children. ( I'm a teacher, I love them but in the summer I'd like an adult time, lol) once onboard I hardly noticed them except one pool day as they jumped in the pool over and ever. But other than that I hardly saw them around the ship.

Maybe someone who is going on the Dawn can get the name for you. I googled them but came up empty.

We were on this cruise with you. Did not get to the beach, but swam in the ship's pool. There was plenty do do, even though it was showery.
Barb, this Friday's cruise looks showery and cook. Did they do the sail away indoors?

Sorry, I got distracted while I was typing.
I do not want my meal at Los Lobos to be charged against my UDP . Is there a way to let them know I want the 2 meals at Cagneys and the Le Bistro meal to come from the UDP, or will they automatically use it with the first :" specialty restaurant" I visit.
-
This cruise I have $100 of OBC along with UDP and UBP.
I want to go to Los Lobos, but I do not want that to be one of my UDP selections. the food at Los Lobos is very reasobable and I want my dining package to be cagneys (2) and La Bistro

I had it for a few days after a rough trip back to Bermuda. I took meclizine ( Bonnie) for a few days and was done. I had that sway feeling but no nausea

Large family cruise on Gem
in Family Cruises
Posted
We are taking a cruise with my son and his family with five children ages 7 months, 3 , 6, 11&13. On NCL Gem in July. They’ve traveled on airplanes, stayed at resorts etc and are well behaved. While we will help with the babies, the older kids are more than likely be in kids programs. I’m most concerted with the 3 year old who is non verbal autistic. He’s good with loud noises but embarkation / debarkation may weird him out. Hopefully special needs desk can help him .
Any suggestions on cruising with a large family.
