We take the cruise on 27 July 2008 with the Norwegian Gem in the Mediterranean.
Excellent service and a very beautiful ship which you need really time to discover.
Many variety food of good quality for every one, normal drink's of tea, coffee etc. and ice cream is available with out charge 24 h a day. You can eat almost the whole day so if your feel hungry in the night just take a bite. Good theatre 2 shows in the night and every where bands playing nice music, the cost of normal drinks are reasonable, except the special cocktails. The bed of the staterooms are from an excellent quality, in a few minutes you sleep as a rose. The excursions are a little expensive but we take the excursions by our self.
Overall it was a wonderful cruise !

We made a flash movie of our cruise and many pictures of inside the ship which can be seen on our website, section Norwegian – Gem.
