Review summary

This was a great welcome back to cruising. I felt safe & all precautions were taken.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Parking at Pier 88 in NYC was so easy. They take your luggage before you park, so there's no lugging around. From there I went to Pier 90 for my Covid test & then to check-in. From the time I parked to the I boarded was approximately 1.25 hrs.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

I ate in the Garden Café for breakfast & lunch. One of the complimentary dining rooms at night. Wasn't crazy for Orchid.

There's always something to do!!

Entertainment

I caught all but 1 show & it was like a crescendo. They got better & better as the nights went on.

Service and Staff

It was great cruising at a limited capacity, the staff was always up for conversation & not rushed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I feel like the Gem needs a pick me up. I was on her a few yrs back. Realizing that she's always on the go, she's well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Club Balcony Suite, 11560. More than enough space for 1 person.

They had us all off by 9:30!! I wish that I could have spent more time on-board but it was nice to get home to family.
