Reviewer read
Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on disembarkation.
Norwegian Gem rates higher overall than 30% of the ships we track. Fitness is its strongest showing. The weak spot is disembarkation.
Why reviewers choose it

The one caution
8.2out of 10 for disembarkation
Higher than only 14% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.80.
Everything else, in two lines
One is good without being remarkable: fitness (higher than 58% of ships).
Ten fall below the fleet: public areas, entertainment, ship quality, value, dining, service, activities, cabins, embarkation and disembarkation. They rate higher than 14% to 43% of ships.
Family falls below the fleet too, but only 84 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 7.99 and 8.28. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you
- How it suits older travelers
- Too few reviewers on this ship described traveling as seniors.
- How it handles mobility needs
- Too few reviewers mentioned accessibility here.
- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
