My wife and I are in 10502 in June. You are free to use the balcony any time. At night your curtains must be drawn so no light shines onto the balcony. Their will either be instructions in the cabin or your butler will tell you what to do

Problem with the little bath towels is the never dry out unless you put a fan on them.

Might want to look at a forward or aft suite on the Gem. Same perks as the Haven with the exception of no use of the Haven courtyard or sundeck

Yup, bring edibles

Add in two trips to Europe, three to Vegas, one to Tampa and Miami. Yup for the price its done really well

We Coolife.... its been banged around for 7? years now and its still holding up will https://amzn.to/4cV6n1r

Yup, we have bought or had spa passes a dozen times. I can count on one hand the times I have seen teens in there. Its a quite place

On our 12 day on the Getaway in the Haven I order surf and turf minus the surf 3 nights. On two of those nights they brought me two filets without me asking

I remember reading your review, it was great!

We have sailed the Gem 4 times in the past (twice in a suite) and love the Gem. I like the size of it, has never felt crowded. We are passing on Thermal Suite passes this time around however I think its one of the nicer one's for the size. I love the Great Outdoors, probably one of my favorite places on the ship to have breakfast or lunch. We debated between the Joy and the Gem. NYC is only a 90 minute drive for us vs Boston is 5 hours, the Joy when we booked was cheaper. However is really wanted a smaller ship and are looking forward to at stop in Bar Harbor. This will be the last year NCL stops there unless something changes

Actually Haven and Suite guest (Suites on the Jewel class ships) not including the old Mini Suites.... I forget what they are called now

Two weeks before us on the Gem. I'll be looking forward to any review you write on Bermuda. June is the perfect month in Bermuda

What is your sail date?

The NCL Concierge email is .... norwegianconciergedesk@ncl.com I contacted them last week and got a response in 45 minutes

Personally I would do easy walk off. Get it line early and the elevator should go quick. It can get pretty crazy and yes having an AirTag will help. I had to use it in this mess
