Review summary
it was my first cruise ever.. the ship leaving new York city into Florida due to the rain we were having when we left the water was rough and the shop rocked for 2 days.. did not like that at all. but nothing you could do.. talking to other people who have taken a cruise they said there is soda and coffee all over the place i am a big coffee drinker and on this ship there was not.. it was horrible finding coffee.. and you had to walk the whole ship just to get it that i did not like at all. the people i met where so nice , i had alot of fun.. we could not get off in the Great stirrup cay do due rough water and that was a big disappointment.. i must say the staff was excellent , every person from waiters , to our guy that cleaned our room, to the desk people, they were all so nice... and the bartenders were great... i loved the Bliss Lounge the best one the ship.. would i cruse again i am not sure it was way to much walking to get anything.. food, drinks, coffee. and from other people who have been on other ships said oh you will have no problem getting anything yet we did.. i hope the Gem changes this and has coffee, mostly close to everywhere.. It was easy getting drinks in the Bliss lounge... the best met so many nice people there..Embarkation

Onboard Activities
Cigar Lounge
it was nice to go in and sit down and smoke a cigarette .. instead of standing out side all the time on deck 7.. alot of nice people in the cigar lounge.
Casino
i love to gamble and it was very easy to get paid when i won.. the people in the casino were so nice but i must tell you there was 2 bartenders one was doing nothing, while the other women who was behind the bar was doing it all. she was amazing.. her and i talked alot and i said wow you are so busy but keeping up with everything while he is just standing there not helping you.. she said she was used to it.. I wish i could remember her name but i don't she needs a huge wage increase and the guy that was with her doing nothing helping no one with giving them one drink should be fired.... she was just so kind and awesome..
Entertainment
Bliss Ultra Lounge & Night Club
this was our favorite bar... we went every night.. and met so many people.. the bartenders were great.. loved the Bliss Lounge
