Re: Norwegian Gem
Never been but my ILs were just on it in October. They loved it! They said they actually even liked it better than the ship we usually go on- the Dawn.

Re: Norwegian Gem
We just went on it over Christmas Week and we really liked it, we have been on 4 other norwegian ships and we liked this one the best.

There's a restaurant on board (the Tex Mex one) they had the best food on the ship IMO. There was this one entree that was like a metal tree with all meats and veggies hanging off of it, it was delicious! Also their chocolate cake in that restaurant was to die for!! It was only like $10 - totally worth it!

we DEF plan on eating there one night... $10 is a freakin steal!!!
we are taking the longest cruise we've ever been on (10 days) so we'll def have plenty of tiime to try some of the specialty restaurants... it'll also be my bday cruise so i wanted to go to cagney's for that night, but ive been hearing not so great things ... the cover is $25 so its not cheap if it ends up sucking KWIM? or we can try the hibachi ... DH and I live for that stuff

Re: Norwegian Gem
When we just were on the Gem last month, we booked a suite. In my mind, totally worth it. There is a small indoor pool and hot tubs that you can enjoy even in the cold weather and Cagney's was complimentary for Breakfast and Lunch. They have had some really great deals on some of their cruises. Have FuN!

Re: Norwegian Gem
Thank you everyone. It sounds like everyone had a good time. I had some questions about the bowling on the ship.
Can kids play or is it adults only? If kids can play, do they have bumpers? How much is it to play?
What are some of the things that everyone liked about this ship, more then another one that they were on?

Re: Norwegian Gem
The bowling lanes are in the Bliss Lounge. Kids can bowl up to midnight, I think its $5/pp/game. This lounge also has air hockey, which my kids loved. In the lobby, the have a two story WIi screen that they let kids do a few hours per day. If you decide to try this, get there early, there were a ton of kids lined up for it. I think this boat is better b/c of the bowling, air hockey and wii for kids. I didn't have that on the other NCL ships, but its possible the other ships have been upgraded since I have been on them.
