Thank you. I like the grab a drink part. They really had a lot of fun playing shuffleboard on the Breakaway so they will be happy to know they can play on the Gem.

Thanks, that kind of stinks since both people in the cabin get the UBP but since he is under 21 he can not use the UBP for his wine and beer.

My NCL rep yesterday told me O'Sheehans is not on the Gem. Don't know what is going on.

My niece and nephew love shuffleboard. Is there shuffleboard on the Gem? If so what deck? Thank you!

With this new promotion you can choose the Ultimate Beverage Package. My two sons, 25 and 20 (1 month shy of 21) will be in the same cabin. I will be signing the under 21 waiver that allows him to purchase/drink beer and wine. Does anyone know if the under 21 can use the UBP to purchase beer and wine or can he only purchase soda. Thank you!

The new promotion is offering the UBP with the booking of a balcony or higher. My questions is if the 15% gratuity is added to your bill every time you order a drink or is it already included in the price of the UBP. Thank you!

A prepaid gift card would be a good idea with a low balance but I don't know if they are accepted. With your regular credit card make sure to let the card company know that you will be using it outside the USA so they don't put a hold on it for suspicious activity.

Thank you! What deck is guest services on?

On the Gem where do you go to sign permission slip for 18-21 to drink beer and wine?

Thank you. That is the space I was talking about. I was concerned if there would be a noise problem.

I was looking at the outside of the ship.

On Deck 8 there is a gap between the sets of lifeboats. Does anyone know what is in that gap? Thinking of booking a room on Deck 9 over this gap.

You have to use a credit card. Make sure your charge card company doesn't charge an additional fee for international charges.

Other than some having connecting rooms what are the differences between family balcony and balcony? Square footage and occupancy seems to be the same. Looking at the Gem.

We brought a 24 pack of bottled water and two six packs of bottled soda. We put it in a large duffel bag that had wheels. Gave it to the porter and it was in our room when we arrived. We of course tipped the porters anyway. Just make sure you have a luggage tag on it.

Nauzene is good for nausea. It is sold over the counter in stores for about five dollars. They make one for sea sickness but that one is harder to fine. Prescription Bonine works even better than over the counter. I agree Bonine is better than Dramamine.

Thank you! Where do they have the chocolate buffet?

Cash accepted only in casino.

I tried searching before posting but didn't find any recent post. Do they still have the chocolate buffet on the Gem? If yes, what night and what time? Hearing a lot about the removal of lobster. Anyone know if it is still served?

Thanks all! Last night I emailed Atlantis and they said that they do accept Discover.

Yes I am sailing out of NY. I guess not knowing which way the ship will dock it really doesn't matter. I thought they docked the same way in Port Canaveral, GSC and Nassau. Thanks all!

Is there a preference to which side of ship when sailing to Florida and the Bahamas. I know when you are out to sea it really doesn't matter.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Do you need to make show reservations? If yes, is it better to make them before you leave or on ship?
