Review summary

Great time with great friends. Make the most of it. It's your vacation do as much or as little as you want. Trivia, games, shows, music. Enjoy!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

One of the best. As you arrive you get seated in order. No rushing in line. Each section is allowed on one at a time.

Food and Dining

Ate at LaCucina and Cagneys. No complaints. Buffet for breakfast most days Earlier the better! The smaller buffets by the outdoor bars were very convenient.

Ship Quality

Liked the smaller ship, but took me the longest to figure out how to get around. Need to put the fish back on the carpet 😁

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

If you are over 6' knees may touch the wall in the bathroom 😁. Room was a balcony, smaller than most ships, due to size and age of the Gem. Wish the TV was a bit bigger. Overall plenty of space.

Customs came aboard, everyone had to go through. A bit of a cluster. If you have no excursions planned, go to breakfast, lunch a bar.. Wait til the line is gone.
