Review summary

We sailed to the Eastern Caribbean, departing on Feb 24th. This was our first cruise, and it was awesome! It was everything we expected. We'd sail the Gem again, for sure. We stayed in a family oceanview cabin, which was surprisingly roomy for a family of 4. Junmar, our cabin steward, was attentive and thorough, as well as entertaining. The food on board was delicious. We had the specialty dining package, which was fabulous, but we would have been fine without it as the food in the other venues was wonderful. We preferred the Grand Pacific over the Magenta, because we enjoyed being spoiled more by the service. We liked the freestyle dining concept. It allowed us the flexibility to do what we felt like, on the spur of the moment. I had the thermal spa package, which was totally worth it. I spent many peaceful hours relaxing there. The entertainment was fun. We enjoyed the circus duo and the magician the most. My teenage daughters joined Entourage (the teen club) and had a blast with the activities there. In general, the staff was friendly and helpful. At the guest services/concierge desk, they didn't seem as friendly, but I believe this was deliberate to foster efficiency. The pools and hot tubs were often crowded, and it was hard to find available lounge chairs, though not impossible. We were never bored.
