    We're cruising the Gem in August. We are also local residents and excited that we don't have to fly anywhere to catch out boat. That's for all the info.

      Me too!! It'll be my first cruise. I can't wait! Trying to research up and get a feel for things now. Going with my sister and brother in law. They've been on countless cruises so I decided I'd join in on one since they seem to love it so much.

    Do they have a separate security and check in line for Suites and Haven?

  • @rgruenhaus
    @rgruenhaus Місяць тому +1

    Wish you could have showed the line signs for a long enough time to read them like that wheelchair sign right as you walked into the terminal. Like Haven/Suites, CAS, Priority Access. So many reps on the phone say oh the signs are at every port and I rarely see anything other than the Haven guest line signs.

    We are sailing the Gem May 10th so this was helpful! I've only been on Carnival cruises. Did you do anything on Bermuda or Maine? Some people were questioning if people got off the ship in Maine at all.

    • @IlluminatingDestinations
      @IlluminatingDestinations  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you! My videos about what we did in Bermuda will be coming soon - there's a lot of great stuff to do both through NCL and on your own. I haven't done a cruise to Maine yet so I can't speak to how many people usually get off but I know visiting Acadia National Park is usually a popular thing to do there and many cruises include an option to visit there as part of the excursions they offer. Hope you enjoy the cruise!

      @@IlluminatingDestinations I’ve been to Arcadia a few times. I grew up in Maine lol! Did you ever have the opportunity to do the dining in the dining room that’s free? I know you said there was a wait. I just went a carnival cruise with my daughter and granddaughter last November. Have you ever been on other cruises besides NCL? Just wondering your overall thought.

      @IlluminatingDestinations  Місяць тому

      On some cruise ships they will actually have you physically walk to your muster station - in our case the Magenta Dining Room - when the alarm sounds. However for our cruise, they just told us to check in at our muster station at some point on the first day and as long as we did that, when the alarm sounded, we could just stay where we were rather than walk over there.

    • @LaszloBagi
      @LaszloBagi Місяць тому +2

      On NCL you will be given links to watch a safety video after you do your online checkin. When you board the ship you will be instructed to go to your muster station. On our last cruise they had someone there as soon a we boarded who scanned us in

    hey ill be taking the gem on the 10th, just wanted to ask if the wifi package is worth buying?

    • @IlluminatingDestinations
      @IlluminatingDestinations  Місяць тому

      We did not end up using our full 150 minutes of free WiFi but whenever you do turn it on, you burn through it pretty quickly. I'd say, if you're ok not being online, you'll be fine but if you need it to do work or want to do social media posts or send emails every day, it might be worth it for you. We were able to use our international phone package to use the internet with cellular when we were docked so we only used the WiFi on the At Sea days, and sparingly at that.

    When ate after boarding, did you have to pay for your food? Assuming you hadn't left port yet.

    • @IlluminatingDestinations
      @IlluminatingDestinations  Місяць тому +1

      Nope! All of the food at the complimentary restaurants is free, even right after you get on. The only thing we did have to pay for was tax on any drinks. For example, we had the soda package so if we had already left, we would not have paid anything, but because we were still in Boston, we had to pay $0.50 for tax.
