Review summary

Meeting new people and getting together after the cruise. Security HAS TO ENFORCE THE POOL RULE. I did speak to someone and they just shook their head at me. I think Security were the rudest on the ship. Overall my husband and i met some awesome couples and had a great time. Will be on her again in August

Ship tip

Hog your poolside chair. They don't ENFORCE THE 30 MINUTE RULE!!!! very disappointed went to pool at 7am on sea days and very hard to find an empty chair.Can you imagine putting a box of cereal on a chair to save it..

I cruised the Gem in May and was very frustrated with the chair situation. I would get up at 7:30am to find towels on almost all the chairs by the pools. I watched MANY stay unused for the majority of the day. One woman "claimed" a chair so it would be there when she got back from her shore excursion....

We had a similar issue with chair hogs on the Escape last year. While I agree with you the crew should really enforce the rules, I am sure they are afraid of pissing off the passengers that do hog. In my humble opinion it is the inconsiderate passengers that are truly to blame.
