Deliver42, I saw the SS Norway as a ship you sailed on. That was my first cruise over 40 years ago for my Honeymoon. It has a very special place in my heart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaCruiser72 Posted August 17, 2021 #32 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Has anyone seen any postings from passengers who are actually on the Gem? Was hoping we might get a "Live From" on the NCL board, but I don;t see one anywhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good old days of midnight buffets, same waiter every night, towel animals and tip envelopes. I never did get credit for the one in 1988 for Latitudes Rewards. So glad the Gem sailed. I wonder what the masking situation is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted August 17, 2021 #35 Share Posted August 17, 2021 There's some info in the roll call for the current sailing. I'm behind a corporate firewall so I can't watch the livestream, but maybe some of y'all will enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the masking situation is? Rob-Bob, "Midnight Buffets", I forgot all about those. We get in a lot of trouble reminding folks of the good old days. It was rather special though. My TA went on the test cruise just before the paying passengers. It seems the Masks are not mandatory unless very close quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the boards main page, go to Roll Calls, then Norwegian Roll Calls, then Norwegian Gem Roll Calls. There's a drop-down option to filter by month. From there, just scroll thru until you find the date you're looking for. I'm on the roll calls for two later sailings of the Gem (doing a B2B in October,) but everyone on those roll calls is watching the initial Gem sailing like a hawk.

DH and I are scheduled on the Encore out of Miami in December, but we do not want to go if it’s not 100% vaxed. We are booked on the Getaway in December out of Miami - if they change the vaccination policy I will cancel. It's not worth the risk and the stress if there have to be other mitigation rules due to unvaccinated passengers or crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps NCL needs to give the good (?) governor a free cruise. or NOT either that or the tugs are getting bored with each NEW fully paid ship going out.
