NCL Gem - 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise - Day 1 - Embarkation

We recently went on the NCL Gem's 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise. We had an incredible time and had way more fun than expected. The NCL Gem facilities, food and beverage, entertainment, activities, talent, and excursions were all top-notch. In this video, Erin and I give you a good review of Day 1, which is the travel and embarkation day. We share some lessons learned and provide an overview of everything we did for the day.

We wanted to post this video to give you a really good idea of just how much there is to do and have fun whether it's an at-sea day or in port. You get 4 total at-sea days and 6 port of call days including Georgetown, Grand Cayman, Cartegena, Columbia, the Panama Canal and Colon, Port of Gamboa, and Port of Balboa, Panama, Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, Harvest Caye, Belize, and Cozumel, Mexico.

If you are looking to take a cruise, we highly recommend the NCL Gem and the 11-Day Panama Canal Cruise itinerary. Even at 11 days, we never got bored once, which was our fear. Don't fear it, book it, and enjoy the cruise of a lifetime!!
