Treacher1 Posted July 12, 2012 #26 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Michele - Thanks SO much for taking the time to write a detailed review including pictures. It was like reliving the experience once home. We have sailed on many cruise lines, but the SUITE life with NCL is really sweet. The service was the best, and we loved Cagney's for breakfast and lunch - what a nice perk. It was great meeting you and your family at our CC meeting and then spending time with each other when we saw each other on board. Enjoy the rest of your summer - and keep cool in your pool (lucky you). Best wishes for smooth sailing in the future. Dennis & Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriselle Posted July 12, 2012 #31 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks for the great review and pictures! It feels like our cruise was a million years ago! It was great to meet everyone from the forums at the Meet and Greet! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purrfect007 Posted July 13, 2012 #32 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Loved the photos you included with your review! Wow, we really underutilized our butler...so glad you had such a great time. We thought tropical storm debby might have ruined that trip. Obviously not!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchess43 Posted July 13, 2012 #34 Share Posted July 13, 2012 To the OP thanks for the well written review do you remember what time Cagney's opened up for breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheGoMom921 Posted July 13, 2012 Author #35 Share Posted July 13, 2012 To the OP thanks for the well written review do you remember what time Cagney's opened up for breakfast? I'm sorry, I cannot remember, as we are not really early risers, maybe 7 am? But Cagney's was always in full swing when we arrived by 8-8:30 am. However, I can tell you they STOP serving breakfast at 10 am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgrave Posted July 13, 2012 #36 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Great pictures and review, we will be staying in the same suite 10666 on the Gem in 2 weeks. I will tell Gigi and Fernando that they are superstars on cruisecritic.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovebermuda Posted July 13, 2012 #37 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hi Michele! It was so nice meeting you am your family on the Gem! Your review was fabulous and brought back some great memories! I still think we got cheated out of winning name that tune! We should have exchange email addresses or something! Already looking at our planning for next year! Have you begun? Thanks again for the great review and for causing me to relive a fantastic week! Give my best to Robert and Sam!

Laurie, Steve and the boys Laurie, It was such a pleasure meeting you on this cruise, hope you saw my message to you back on our cruise thread. Please feel free to email me at sprintelectric at mindspring dotcom We are definitely planning another cruise, we also purchased a future cruise credit, and I'm itching to put it to good use right away! Thinking about a Bermuda trip possibly next June/July. But I think our only option will be on the Breakaway...looking into prices. Of course, we are suite spoiled now and Breakaway is so much more than the other ships. We'll see how that goes! Email me and we'll talk! ~Michele:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LodgeLady Posted July 14, 2012 #39 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks for your review and pics! We sail NCL for the first time next May. Great tip about the slots coupon. I will definitely get that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loving2cruise Posted July 14, 2012 #40 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures and great review :) First time NCL Cruiser, in 2013, on the GEM. The ship looks beautiful. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope our cruising paths will cross again! We are very interested in the Breakaway to Bermuda next summer, but the prices are quite a bit higher. We were spoiled this year with having two rooms, but we got them at such a great price on the Gem. So far, we're looking at about $2500 more for the same type rooms on the Breakaway. We don't want to do the Gem three years in a row, so we're at a bit of a crossroads. We're thinking of the Carnival Splendor's exotic Caribbean itinerary.We really just love cruising from New York for the convenience of it. We've also cruised out of Boston (equal distance and just as convenient from where we are in CT), but it's not as special as cruising down the Hudson. We do know that whatever we choose will be late July due to the whole baseball debacle this year with the boys! I'll email you in the near future. In the meantime, here's a picture from our last night in the Stardust. Notice my little guy managed to get himself in there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welovebermuda Posted July 14, 2012 #42 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Okay, let's try that again! Hopefully the picture will post this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheGoMom921 Posted July 14, 2012 Author #43 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Okay, let's try that again! Hopefully the picture will post this time! Thank you!! That is so cute that he managed to wedge his way into the picture!! Nice picture, btw! Just send me an email so I can put your email into my contact list and I'll let you know which ships/sailiings we are cotemplating. Also, Robert & I will be going for a weekend on the Jewel for a CTN this February for a fun, "Kid free" weekend. Dawn is on that one too. You and Steve should think about it! ~Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riksha Posted August 5, 2012 #49 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review! We're heading out on the GEM in a few weeks and your review has us so excited. Just a question about your Universal excursion - who did you hire the car service from? We were thinking of doing the same, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks!

tweetylori Posted August 5, 2012 #50 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Very much enjoyed your review and pics...thanks! It's nice to know how the other half does cruising. :) I take it Cagney's is only open for breakfast and lunch for suite dwellers, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
