Creator's Key Takeaways
This is a club balcony suite on the Norwegian Gem, and while it's easily one of the largest rooms in its class, there are three specific hidden design flaws that could make or break your vacation
The other thing I noticed is the balcony is significantly larger than the standard balcony room. I mean, that is, I would say, twice as wide.
The other place this room really shows its age is the size of the TV. I'm going to go ahead and call that ridiculously small.
This tub is exceptionally deep. If you have any balance or mobility issues, getting in and out for a shower can be a genuine challenge.
