Well - having only got back from the NCL Jade to the Canaries a few weeks ago I admit that I really loved the cruise - the staff, the cabin - everything!

It was our first cruise and loved the relaxed atmosphere about the ship and with Freestyle dining which we found perfect.

So much so I've just booked a a week on the Gem for September!

Me too,we are trying to decide between Med or Austrailia,but seeking a smaller size ship,if there is such a creature,the Gem has fewer pax.i think.

Hi

Western Med sailing out of Barcelona for Malta then Naples (and for me Pompei), Civitavecchia for Rome, Livorno for Florence and Pisa then Cannes and back to Barca.

We did wonder if it was a bit soon to cruise again (but whose counting?) and we compared the price of this with a week in a hotel somewhere in Europe and there wasn't that much difference so we both favoured the cruise option.

Only difference this time we will arrange our own flights from Liverpool rather than use the NCL option of Heathrow. and that way I get a day and stopover in my favorite city of Barcelona.
