My husband and I, two active adults (31 and 26 years old) are thinking of going on a 7-day med cruise in August. However, we can’t decide on which cruise to choose, RCCL’s Voyager of the Seas or NCL’s Norwegian Gem?
I recommend the Royal Caribbean Voyager. I have cruise on the Gem (this past Nov) in the Mediterranean and I have also been on two of RC’s Voyager Class ships (the Adventure and the Mariner) which are identical to the Voyager. So my experience is the Voyager is a much better ship even though the Gem is less than 2 years old. There are much more activities on the Voyager and the service and staff will likely be much better than on the Gem. We had several issues with the service on the Gem. Don’t be fooled by that Norwegian advertisement about “Freestyle” cruising. The cruise on NCL (and I have been on about 6 NCL cruises) is no different from any other cruise line except for you being able to go to dinner in the main dining room anytime instead of on a set schedule. And that anytime dining has its drawbacks too.
