Leavethekidswithmom Posted March 5, 2015 #155 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yay!! When are you onboard again? Is the elevator to the Haven, key access only on the Gem? I see they have doors to the hallways that are keyed. They do not have those door on the Pearl, only the elevator and all doors leading to the Haven are keyed. I just wanted to make sure if we did the DOS we wouldn't have a privacy problem and I didn't want to start another thread for a quick answer. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffnstuff36 Posted March 10, 2015 #156 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I really wish they would update the 360° virtual tour option on the web page for the gem. It still has blue lagoon, the old maderno on deck 8, and the old furnishings in the spinnaker lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dom89 Posted March 13, 2015 #163 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm on the ship now in St. Thomas and the rock wall is closed. I would think that by summer it would be opened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin.phillips Posted March 16, 2015 #168 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I should have checked Cruse Critic prior to booking. We decided to go on the Norwegian Gem over Christmas and booked directly with Norwegian. We cruised the same ship two years prior and our kids kept busy with the Rock Climbing and Miniature Golf. Unfortunately the cruise agent did not let us know that: Rock Climbing CLOSED for entire cruise Mini Golf CLOSED for entire cruise Basketball CLOSED every evening and for two days during cruise. When we complained onboard the assistant cruise director told us the travel agent should have informed us. As we booked direct with Norwegian there was not travel agent and the cruise consultant did not tell us about any closures. Only compensation offered was a small onboard credit if we cruise Norwegian again. WILL NEVER CRUISE THIS LINE AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidybabe Posted March 16, 2015 #169 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wow that must of been very upsetting to have those things closed during your cruise. It really would of not impacted our cruise, but we are not traveling with children, and can appreciate how it did yours. Sorry this happened to you. NCL should inform every everybody of this when booking, and should have a disclaimer on the website too. It shouldn't be our job to check CC to find out these things.

When you said "Mini Golf CLOSED for entire cruise", do you mean the Golf Cage, as I can't find a mini golf course on the deck plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it would not be on the deck plan. We have taken a few different cruises over the last few years and I am pretty sure I am not mixing up my ships. I did send a letter to Norwegian and they did apologize for the closings and never noted there was no mini golf. I am pretty sure I am correct. Perhaps this is something that is permanently closed.

Partyatsea Posted March 16, 2015 #174 Share Posted March 16, 2015 There was Mini Golf on our original cruise a couple of years prior. We've cruised the Gem in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. She went into service in 2007. Never saw mini golf on the Gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry that a rock wall, basketball court, and mini golf area constitute your entire cruise experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
