Answer 2

never been on the gem personally but NCL is an excellent line so you will enjoy it!
how to get the most out of your cruise- every night and on your first day you will get a daily itinerary of literally everything that will be going on each day and night on the cruise! do as much or as little as you want on that cruise, thats the Norwegian way!
sometimes getting the most out of their cruise is laying out in the sun listening to music, and for others its taking as many classes and doing so many different activities!

enjoy your cruise!

Introduce yourself to people. Meeting new people on a cruise can really make the vacation more fun. You can also share what is fun to do on and off the ship with them. Also, when you have days at sea, put a beach towel, book and some old flip flops or something on a deck chair BEFORE breakfast. The good spots fill up fast and you will be glad you staked out an area. Don't feel bad, everyone who has cruised does it. Relax, have fun and leave your shyness or ego at home. I also found it fun to sign up my friends for the goofy activities without them knowing. The stupid stuff like that is what you seem to remember on cruises. Have fun!

If you think you are goin an a cruise and will meet a lot of TEENS then you are in for a real shocker.. and the NEXT TIME tell you parents to not bookd the CHEAPEAST CRUISE they could find
