Newbie to cruising & planned cruise in 4/08

[chewie44]

Hi, I am brand new to cruising. I have a 15 night planned transatlantic cruise with NCL on their new ship the Norwegian Gem in April 2008.

 

My mom and I both have never cruised, and we have never been to Europe, so we are quite excited.

 

What should we know,and what should we not miss, or not bother with on our cruise?

 

Thanks for your input,

Welcome aboard! You will love the Gem.

 

You may want to check out the "Roll Call" of other Cruise Critic members sailing with you on the Translatantic. You will get many ideas from them.

So exciting...your first cruise is the best!

 

Watch for the Gem reports...they should have much information for you:)

I went to the "roll call" and posted my own thread there. It seems there are quite a number of ppl that are going on the trip and some are doing a "meet and greet" when they get onboard.

 

Very cool....

 

 

thanks:)
