Demonyte Posted August 5, 2012 #51 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I take it Cagney's is only open for breakfast and lunch for suite dwellers, right? That is correct, Cagney's breakfast and lunch are only open for suite pax and VIP's possibly staying in lower cat cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redheadinCT Posted August 6, 2012 #52 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thank you, thank you Michele for the terrific review and fabulous pictures! We go on our Gem cruise Sept 1st on an Aft suite also. (Very cool they "backed" into the port in the Bahamas!) We're traveling with our daughter.... and it looks like the three of you fit just fine in your suite together. Loved hearing about all the amenities you received... I'm sure we'll be spoiled having this suite! :D Thanks again-- hope you get to cruise again soon!

OnTheGoMom921 Posted August 6, 2012 Author #53 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed review! We're heading out on the GEM in a few weeks and your review has us so excited. Just a question about your Universal excursion - who did you hire the car service from? We were thinking of doing the same, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks! We used Executive VIP Limo, (321)505-0009 we spoke with Mike. Thought the service was great. Right on time, very accommodating. Found many good reviews about this company (and 1 bad one) but we had no problems whatsoever! Enjoy your trip, you will have a blast! ~Michele:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utilize your butler and concierge as much as possible, and don't hesitate to ask them for anything! They aim to please! Wish I was going back again this summer, but we will have to wait a few months BUT we have 2 more cruises already booked. The suite life really spoils you. We booked an aft haven suite on the new Breakaway for next June...I cannot wait! ~Michele:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpms Posted December 16, 2012 #56 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Michele Thank you for the amazing review, It's nice to hear good things about NCL. We are cruising the first time with NCL in April for our honeymoon from South Hampton to NYC. I see you are from NYC any suggestions for hotels?? We tend to like Kimpton hotels and see one on Park Ave near Grand Central station is that a good area? Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to like Kimpton hotels and see one on Park Ave near Grand Central station is that a good area? Any help would be appreciated Grand Central station is a good area you are in what we call midtown, it is a good location your not far from Times Square, & if you want to go uptown to Central Park your not far either. If you do stay near Grand Central Station make sure you visit the station it sure is worth while. I just suggest you wait until the rush hour is over.

dutchess43 Posted December 16, 2012 #59 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Car service? Which one did you use from Long Island? Ty I live on LI & the only car service I use is Tran Star Executive http://www.tranexec.com I have used them for 25 years they are never late usually they are 15 mins early & have always been there to pick me up. The last time I used them was Oct for a Gem sailing. Edited December 16, 2012 by dutchess43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tend to like Kimpton hotels and see one on Park Ave near Grand Central station is that a good area? Any help would be appreciated Thank you. Park Avenue in Midtown is a lovely location. Very central to many sights in NYC. Also, as far as our car service in NY, we did indeed use Tran Star Exec (as stated by previous poster), it is also the only service we use, as the owner is our next door neighbor. Excellent service, very reliable. ~Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
