Description

A panamax ship, Norwegian Gem is part of Norwegian Cruise Line's Jewel class with several new features compared to previous ships, primarily the bowling alley. It's a very successful ship designed to offer a freestyle feel to its passengers. There are therefore many speciality restaurants on board. The VIP area with its garden villas offers some of the most luxurious accommodation on modern cruise ships. It was the first NCL ship destined for the European market to board its guests from Venice in 2010.

On board Norwegian Gem from Miami to Panama

Comment

The cruise aboard the Norwegian Gem from Miami to Panama was an extraordinary experience, perfect for those seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation. Every stop of the journey surprised me: in Costa Rica, I explored the jungle and relaxed on beautiful beaches, while crossing the Panama Canal was the most thrilling moment, an incredible engineering feat that leaves you speechless. Onboard, everything was perfect: comfortable cabins, delicious food (from the variety of buffets to specialty restaurant dinners), and consistently engaging entertainment, from evening shows to relaxing by the pool or in the spa. The ship was welcoming, and the staff impeccable, making every moment enjoyable. This cruise gave me unforgettable memories, blending nature, culture, and pure relaxation. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the allure of the Panama Canal and the treasures of the Caribbean without compromising on comfort.

Nave piccola ma bello il Freestyle

I liked

Libertà e flessibilità

I didn't like

Non molte attrazioni

Comment

Crociera divertente e allegra, molto giovanile lo stile di Ncl. Soprattutto ai Caraibi penso sia una scelta molto valida. A bordo si mangia bene, personale cortese, niente da ridire. Navi moderne offrono molto di più ma abbiamo pagato un prezzo giusto e ci siamo divertiti.
