The Norwegian Gem |
|
Wow, what a beauty! NCL cruise lines left no stone unturned with their 2,400 passenger Norwegian Gem, the youngest addition to their fleet. Living up to her name, this ship is polished to perfection and ready to dazzle its passengers.
The Courtyard Villas, Gem style, are a ‘ship within a ship’. In other words, it is a completely private, secluded area for those passengers staying in Courtyard Villa, Garden Villa or Owners Suites. They have their very own hot tub… pool… steam room… fitness area…sun deck…and…get this!…personal butler!
What about cruise ships with bowling alleys? Oh, yes! The Bliss Ultra Lounge and Night Club is decked out in ultraviolet artwork, plasma TV’s and a four lane bowling alley! There are ten bars and lounges to choose from aboard NCL’s Norwegian Gem, each one gaily themed. Topsiders Bar & Grill and the Great Outdoors Bar have outdoor seating. Lots of options, excitement and entertainment with NCL cruising.
Are you ready for some quiet time to rejuvenate your body? Massage, facials and body wraps are available, as are hair, nail and skin treatments.
And the food! With NCL’s signature Freestyle Cruising, the only choice to make is which restaurant, because there are twelve on board. Let’s say I’m feeling a little French and decide on Le Bistro French Restaurant on Deck 6…but on my way there, a delicious aroma at Cagney’s Steak catches my attention….alternate destination…no problem. That’s why I love Freestyle Cruising. I can eat whenever, at whatever restaurant I choose. It’s all about me!
Rock the night away… or, just roll over on the chaise lounge….just cruising… on

Norwegian Cruise Line Christens New "It" Girl - Norwegian Gem |
|
Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) named Cindy Cardella of Fairfield, NJ, the Godmother of its new "It" Girl, Norwegian Gem, during the ship's Christening ceremony held in New York in November 2007. Cindy was chosen by NCL and the public among five finalists vying for the Godmother crown following an online video contest hosted on www.gemitgirl.com. Not only does she take the esteemed position of Godmother but she also wins a seven-day cruise in the ultra-luxurious 5,000-square-foot Garden Villa for her and five of her family and friends.
NCL wanted to reward past guests with a once in a lifetime opportunity. After receiving nearly 10,000 votes from the public, Cindy was selected based on her ability to show how she embodies the attributes of NCL's hottest, hippest new ship, as well as the free spirit of NCL's Freestyle Cruising.
The Christening ceremony held on board the Norwegian Gem featured performances by Dem Boyz Step Team and the New York-based Luminescence Choir. In addition to comments from Star Cruises Chairman Tan Sri KT Lim, NCL Corporation President and CEO Colin Veitch, all five finalist's video entries were shown, along with the premiere of Norwegian Gem's movie-sode, "License to Thrill." Cindy officially named the ship and christened the ship with the traditional bottle of champagne. The ceremony and movie-sode can be viewed online at www.gemitgirl.com.
In her video, entitled "Cindy will let you in on a secret," Cindy, 31, explains how she has cruised on NCL since childhood and highlights all of the places she has visited. Cindy has sailed with NCL on more than 30 cruises and is a stay at home mom in Fairfield, NJ, with three boys, ages five, three and five months. Her husband, David, joined her at the Christening ceremony.
"Freestyle Cruising on Norwegian Cruise Line is the only way to cruise and I am honored NCL and the public chose me as Godmother for this stunning new ship," said Cindy. "As Godmother of Norwegian Gem, I will continue living the 'It' Girl lifestyle of sophistication, independence, confidence, eagerness to explore new destinations and le |

NCL Gem To Enters Service in September!
|
|
The Norwegian Gem left dry-dock at Meyer Werftin Papenburg, Germany on Sunday, August 12th. Prior to leaving dry-dock, the 93,500-ton ship underwent a series of tests and engine trials, all of which went smoothly. While the finishing touches are completed, she will be berthed at the outfitting pier in Papenburg.
The Norwegian Gem not only marks the completion of NCL’s Jewel-class series of ships; but also solidifies NCL’s status as the youngest and most modern fleet in the cruise line industry.
The Norwegian Gem was custom built with Freestyle Cruising in mind. Like other NCL Jewel class of ships, the NCL Gem has extravagant suites and villas, unlike any other cruise line. With a crew of more that 1,000, the Norwegian Gem can accommodate 2,400 guests and has all of the top amenities guests have come to expect for NCL. Unlike any other ships the NCL Jewel class of ships have the world's first bowling alley.
At www.BestCruiseBuy.com we have sent hundreds of people on the Jewel class of ships and can report an exceptional rating from people returning. With this in mind, we rate the Norwegian Jewel with a 5 Star Rating and expect the Norwegian Gem to have the same rating. |
