Creator's Key Takeaways

We do recommend going into your port city embarcation the night before in order that you don't get surprised next day with any travel hiccups.

I'd highly recommend taking a cruise on MCL's gym going to Canada.

We felt the ship had plenty of public space for all the passengers and there was always two or three if not four different entertainment venues open and operation every evening with plenty of seating.

We felt the food was really great as well, especially the complimentary food.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Arrive in the port city the night before to avoid travel hiccups.
โœ“Book a cruise to Canada on the NCL Gem for a great experience.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We share our Boston Embarkation experience and give you highlights of the NCL GEM with a mini tour. We flew into Boston the night before and had a great meal before embarking the next day on the NCL GEM for a 7 night New England and Canada cruise. The NCL GEM is one of Norwegian Cruise Line's Jewel class ships at 93,530 tons and 2,344 guests. It was built in 2007 and refurbished in 2022.
