The cruise was a very good experience for me and my daughter. Even the delayed disembarkation was turned into a positive experience by the ship's staff.

It was the perfect size for me and my daughter and Renato our room steward was absolutely wonderful. He worked around our schedule and was always available if we needed anything.
Ship tip
The Gem is a great ship for relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends.
Due to high winds disembarkation was delayed until the following day. I am thankful that the crew put their passengers, staff and ship's safety first. Once dock the process was relatively uneventful and rather quick.
