I am a solo traveler This was my 7th NCL cruise but first on the Gem. The crew was fantastic and so was the food in all the free venues. The Activity person running the solo group was very wonderful and so enjoyed the group. The ship layout is easy to navigate and clean. I loved spending time in Spinnaker lounge such a great place to read. The entertainment was fun and great shows. I love the mid size ship great mix of ages and not over crowded. My room steward took excellent care of me and was very friendly. My favorite part was the Activity Staff and the fun activities they planned, I loved it. I highly recommend the Gem for any cruise with NCL great ship and staff made it a pleasant fun filled cruise. I love the way NCL treats Solo's and the Solo groups are always fun. I loved the ports of call and had a great time on the Gem Look forward to sailing on her again
I always get a mid ship picture window cabin and prefer deck 5 This was cruise 7 with NCL and I love the location and roominess of these cabins for a solo traveler. My cabin was clean comfy and I was very happy with it. My room steward was awesome
I got on the ship in Quebec and arrived days early. Wonderful city lots to see and do in old town but beware French people I found were rude
I was not impressed with Sydney but the hop on hop off bus was fun
The titanic cemetary was closed which is what I really wanted to see Waterfront boardwalk was fun and intereesting
loved walking around this town so easy and glad I skipped paying for an excursion. Fun town to walk around and easy to navigate
