What Travelers Say About Norwegian Gem
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Norwegian Gem sailing. Based on 700 discussions.
Norwegian Gem is a Jewel-class ship from 2007 carrying about 2,300 guests, making it one of the smaller, more relaxed vessels in Norwegian's fleet. Cruisers who prefer a calmer experience appreciate that it skips the megaship waterslide parks and ropes courses in favor of an easy-to-navigate layout and a more adult-friendly vibe, though families are still well served with kids' pools, a waterslide and two free kids clubs. It was last refreshed in 2022 but still shows its age in places.
What People Love
- Smaller, easy-to-navigate Jewel-class ship that feels calmer than the megaships
- Strong entertainment, with country music shows, comedians and live bands praised
- Good dining variety for its size, with Cagney's, Le Bistro, La Cucina and Teppanyaki
Common Complaints
- The ship is older (2007) and feels dated in some areas
- Reviewers report understaffed bars with long waits for drinks
- Some note crew morale and service consistency lag expectations
