Review summary

The Gem is a small, older ship. There is no center hub. What they have is small. Entertainment was on opposite sides of the ship. Restaurants are not in one central place. Also, the pool area on the lower deck was ridiculous everyday because they had a BBQ. We were unable to put out chairs because the room was needed for the BBQ. And the smoke was out of hand. It made it very uncomfortable for us to breath.

Sorry to hear that. I had a great time on the Gem. And I felt they could put that BBQ out every day it was that good. I only walk through the casino once but the smoke didn't bother me outside the casino thank goodness.
