We enjoy heading to the MDR for a nice, quiet embarkation day lunch.  Most people head to the buffet or poolside grill.  It's crazy busy so we like to get out of the crowd and let someone wait on us in the MDR.  Lets us know that vacation has begun.  There are several MDRs and I can't remember which one is open on embarkation day.  Someone else may chime in on that.

i did this on my last cruise and had dinner in O'Sheehans. Good service and food at both.

I was able to use Whatsapp, facebook, FB Messenger, Instagram, and Twitter. Didn't try Snapchat or mobile games. 

Were there any photography stations in the atrium (or other location) the evening of embarkation?

One is also more formal in its dress code that the other, I believe. I don't remember which one though.

My friend in another cabin wanted to change from shore credit perk to UPB and so she called ncl and they were able to do it for her and her cabinmate.

This past summer we were in San Juan pre-cruise and had a FANTASTIC scenic dinner at Oceano in Condado

I second this!

I liked a restaurant called Serafina, as well.

I have a NCL Gift Card that I'd like to use towards my onboard account on my upcoming cruise. Do I call ahead for it to be applied or wait until I check in at the port?

Thx

Can anyone that has been on the Gem recently confirm if photogs are in the atrium in the evening on embarkation day? My group wants to do a photo in our custom shirts but we'll be boarding separately. If no is the prospective studios an option for this (knowing that this is more expensive )? not a whole photo shoot but a single group shot.

thx

look at teepublic[dot]com I design my group event shirts like bachelor(ette) or vacay designs and then I upload to my store and buy them myself for around $14 per shirt. Afterwards, i deactivate the design.

Hi, I'm sailing on the Gem with 6 others and we'd like to go to Moderno one night. How does it work either when we reserve or when we dine? If I want to reserve a table for us at embarkation will it all be charged to my onboard account? Or will they swipe everyone's card when we arrive for our reservation?

Thanks!

How do you get to the Sculpture Garden at GSC from the tender pier? I have looked at travel site maps of the island but I can't find this area labeled. Thanks.

I usually pay my cruise little by little every month and so off my cruise is paid off a month or two before the due date. It allows me to budget but really its personal preference. I can then use the 3 months between to shop for clothes :)

Are Henny Coladas available on the ship and is it part of UBP? If not I guess I can Frankenstein one from a virgin Pina Colada and shot of Hennessy.

What is a good liquor store near the port? I'm planning to go to Junkanoo Beach and on my way back to the ship I want to buy a bottle of Henny White and Patron. Thx! :cool:

Hi,

I have the UBP on my next cruise on the Gem. Will I be able to order two drinks at a time? Like if I wanted a shot of liquor with a beer chaser would they give me both together.

If Thermal Spa Day passes are available (big 'if' I know, lol), will they be on sale on embarkation day or each morning? Should I attend the spa tour on the first dat to see if passes are available?

Thanks.
