Rare FionaMG Posted November 8, 2022 #153 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Gorgeous pics of Dubrovnik. It's still on my to-do list. I can't believe what nice weather you're having, given the time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouChamp Posted November 8, 2022 #154 Share Posted November 8, 2022 We love Dubrovnik. Have been there countless times.

Rare BennyBrun Posted November 9, 2022 Author #160 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Day 2 Pancake time and pastry time! So good and so flaky! It’s got to be a way and run kind of thing because I still have to go to the cable car! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muckyduckway Posted November 9, 2022 #163 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Dubrovnik Day 2 I forgot I had the $50.00 excursion credit so instead of touring via the bus I went with the Dubrovnik on your own thing.. which included the shuttle a pancake and round trip cable car ride for about $12.00 I just could not pass up on that price. No brainer! You got a lot done - maybe your time ashore was longer than ours, or maybe we're just a lot slower than you! :) I put my back out the day we flew out there, so couldn't do stairs unfortunately. It's a fabulous city; hope to do a long weekend sometime. Glad you're reacting to the Gem the same as us - subjectivity makes me hesitant to recommend unreservedly, but we felt the quality and variety of food on the Gem was the best of any NCL ship we've been on. The buffet was so good that we didn't bother with the MDR most nights. There were 2030 guests on our sailing and the only place it ever felt crowded was the Atrium (so not a fan of activities in Atrium). So many good things to say about the Gem, I really hope the dry dock doesn't take away any of the features that make it so special. One thing I forgot to say earlier was that the management seem very visible, circulating in public spaces, chatting and getting feedback. I'm not a very social person, but found them all very personable and easy to talk to (and once a conversation had occurred they greeted us like old friends every time we crossed paths.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LATTELOVE Posted November 9, 2022 #164 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hmmm, Food does not look as good as Oasis. Much older ship I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising in mn Posted November 9, 2022 #166 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hello Great review, and photos, thank you! Can you possibly post a photo of your dailys? Has your itinerary been altered at all due to the dry dock coming up? Do they happen to say where and how long the DD will be? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the original itinerary I picked because it stops at Messina Sicily. Not a lot of itinerary stop there. I will see if I still have them in my room. I have been using the digital version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are doing mostly restaurant work atrium work and ALOT of carpet work! ALOT! The rooms will remain unchanged only suites will get an update! Won’t say why the updates are. The senior officers are always around. Again this is where NCL shines! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted November 9, 2022 Author #170 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Day 2 I don’t think our time at port was very long. We docked at 11AM and left at 6PM I think. I just walk very fast! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
