Review summary

The Gem is a very nice ship, especially after a on going refurbish.  The food was outstanding in both the complimentary restaurants and buffet.  This our 2nd cruise on the ship to the same ports and I noticed that almost everyday there was a poolside barbecue this time.  Delicious!!  The crew was above par and were very friendly.  Entertainment was very professional.  One blemish was the 2nd City show, it was not very funny like the previous time.  This criuse still deserves a 5 Star rating.  We had 1 day of rough seas but shows went on like usual.  The asset of the Gem is that it could manage the passengers, it wasn't too big.  Too many people, too many problems!  Definitely would recommend this criuse.
