Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to give the pool area on the ship a two out of five. It's pretty basic.

The bars on board, three and 1 half out of five. They're fine.

The food situation, it's just awful. It is so bad except for the specialty dining.

I'm going to give the Norwegian Gem, my experience on board, a three out of five.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a long power cord for the cabin due to lack of outlets.
Get to the pool deck early to secure a chair.
Consider a day pass for the spa to use amenities without paying for treatments.
Avoid the onboard art gallery as it's overpriced reproductions.
Use Starbucks gift cards at the onboard Starbucks shops.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

I take you aboard the Norwegian Gem for an overall review of the ship. I sailed from Miami down to Cozumel on a four night cruise. I take you in some of the major spaces in the ship, review the dining options including the buffet, main dining rooms, specialty restaurants and bars. I'll also take you on a cabin tour. I give my honest thoughts and opinions. This review is for entertainment and information purposes only. My cruise was a chartered cruise hosted by Sixthman cruises.
