Thinking about getting a massage on the ship for the first time. I’m hearing that there’s a lot of upselling that goes on while you’re getting your massage. Can I get some opinions and experiences on this? 
Also, this might be a dumb question but are you normally naked when you get the massage? 
thank you !

Yes, I’m on the Gem right now and we stopped there yesterday

The requirements vary based on your embarkation date, where you're embarking and where you're cruising to. So when one person says "A", another "B" and a third says "C" each could be correct for their own cruise.

For example cruises boarding in Europe may have different requirements than cruises boarding in the US. Cruises making a port call in Bermuda have substantial additional requirements beyond what NCL and the CDC mandate. Cruises embarking on or after January 17 have different requirements than cruises embarking through January 16.

You have to look at NCL's specific instructions for your exact cruise and not what someone else says is required for the cruise they're taking.

And or those of you flying internationally to the US the CDC's testing requirements have changed effective December 6, with a negative test taken no more than one calendar day before your flight being required.

The person I was responding to was leaving from Miami this Sunday.  Therefore, I told her what I read for that circumstance.

Thank you

I thought it was 72 hours?! I am getting tested Thursday night before heading to Miami for a cruise that leaves Sunday. Did the time frame for testing change?

I just read on their web site that it's within 96 hours of the cruise date.

Can someone tell me if the pools on the Gem are heated?  Cruising from New York on December 19th, wondering if its going to be possible to go in the pool.

Thanks!!
