Creator's Key Takeaways

I've always said Norwegian is probably my least favorite cruise line.

I paid $300, less than $300 for this for this three-night cruise with drinks.

This is the very first sailing of Norwegian or Norwegian Gem out of Jacksonville.

I'm currently on board Norwegian Gem and it is Thursday. I am back home in Jacksonville, Florida.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Sit on a lounger to get served quickly at the bar when lines are packed.
โœ“Use the smaller buffet areas to avoid crowds.
โœ“Take advantage of the kids and teens clubs, which are included in the fare.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship age and maintenance โ€” The ship is older but well-maintained; no issues with wear and tear.
Crowds on a short cruise โ€” A three-night cruise is packed, but it's expected; Greece will be different.
