Recently enjoyed our first Ncl Cruise since 2013 epic on the Ncl Gem for 14 nights out of Boston. We took the cruise because of expirations of future cruise credits and enjoyed it very much. Staff and crew were extremely friendly. The activities staff with Jeff Hernandez was excellent. Many different theme parties with the live Prism band. Queen, Whitney Houston, and too many different tributes to remember. At each dance party the activities staff of several people were always present and added much to the activities. Freddy the CD was excellent as was Joey his sidekick. Luke and rest of activities staff were so friendly and nice.

Fellow passengers were friendly and many from all over the USA and Canada with excellent participation in all events.

The captain cruised home quickly because of a. Medical emergency and we got to Boston on Thursday around 5 pm. Did customs and enjoyed dinner and a last show and walked off with luggage by 8 pm and home starting laundry by 10 pm.

Excellent dancing classes with stage actors and actresses. Production shows were extremely good. Great ports of call. Ship needs refurbishment as paint chipping and worn out seats and carpeting but crew made up for this with excellent service and friendly smiles. Celebrating Halloween was a blast with very creative costumes. Glow party was packed.

Very decent food and service in MDR. Having been loyal to royal for many years we must enjoy NCL in the near future.

We were on this cruise also and agree that it was a wonderful trip. Great weather and a very sociable group of passengers. We enjoyed the enthusiasm of the "washy-washy" ladies and the musicians were excellent all around the ship.

My Husband and I were on this cruise. We met some great people. Had a wonderful time! Wish NCL would keep doing this cruise out of Boston. I would do it every year. We love cruising to Bermuda  every year in the spring but seven days goes by too fast!

The Gem is my favorite ship.
