Review summary
Cruising in general on the Gem was nice. We go to relax, not to party, or do many excursions. Would rather spend time sunning on the deck or being at the beaches in the countries we visit. At times, we may not leave the ship if we have been to a certain country numerous times.
What we didn't like about the GEM is the café on deck 12 were we would have our breakfast. Very noisy , not a well planned area. VERY dark, and crowded. Not well planned out. Unlike the DAWN which has the entire area set aside for the café, with plenty of seating , no so on the GEM, clear views of the café, situated on both port and starboard, ( GEM is only on one side of ship ) and on the DAWN never noisy as on the GEM. We will most likely not sail on the GEM again. Other restaurants were great.
