NCL's Freestyle Cruising style may not be everyone's cup of tea but it grew on us as we spent 14 wonderful days on NCL Gem cruising around Venice & Greek Isles.

The pre cruise hotel stay was a perfect way to get in the mood for what was to come when we got onboard.

The staff were always polite with a couple of shining stars, especially the two guys who welcomed you to the Garden Buffet every day with their hand sprays, the title of this review sums them up!

I think that the itinerary has got to be THE BEST AROUND, we have some wonderful memories now and would gladly do it all again.
