skeeter195 Posted January 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Is embarking on the Gem different from the Breakaway? We were on the Breakaway in October and it was a breeze. Is it in the same place(drop off, check in areas, etc)? We are CAS cruisers and it was very easy for us on the Breakaway. Also are the times the same? We got there around 11:00 and were on board by 11:30. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disfan13 Posted January 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It should be the same - but it may also depend on how many ships will be in port that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are 2 NCL ships in port the same day (though it's rare), you may go to a farther counter on the left to check in vs. the closer one on the right. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted January 16, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thanks. So is it the same set-up for CAS guests? As soon as you walk in on the right, and the waiting area further down on the right? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggertastic Posted January 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 we did both in 2013 and found no difference with embarkation other than for priority - on the gem we had to stand in the priority queue to check in then walk to a room to get the cards and on breakaway we were sent straight to the room to check in The cas line was on the right on both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeT Posted January 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Same for both ships. But Breakaway has two thousand more people on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter195 Posted January 17, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If it is the same set up, then I am sure our Gem embarkation will be super quick, with that many fewer guests. I was really impressed with the Breakaways process. Like I said earlier it only took 30 minutes from curbside to O'Sheenans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
