Review summary

Other than physically significantly impaired people causing major problems upon others during two excursions and ship Easy Walk Off disembarkation it was not too bad. If people would just abide by cruise line rules and not choose to ignore them the problems would not have occurred. As in all other situations with life there are those who are selfish and choose not to follow the rules, don't caring that they cause others stress and discontent. The Orient Beach and Abi Beach excursions are always a highlight of the Eastern Caribbean Cruise. This is the second cruise to the same area so may have to travel down to FL to cruise to a new area. Can't say enough about the top-notch ship crew and food. If you have not cruised on the Gem out of NYC then you should. It is an excellent price and the warm weather is priceless in cold March.

Cabin / Stateroom

Was out of the room quite a bit visiting other parts of the ship for activities so little used for the price. Next time reverting back to Ocean View window and save the money unless there is a free room upgrade.
