Cabin: Mid-Ship Oceanview Picture Window

This was my 3rd cruise, 2nd on the Gem. This time I took my Mom instead of my husband, who could not get time off from work. The staff as usual were friendly, courteous, and helpful, and a few remembered me from 3 months ago when I was on the Gem for the first time and made a point of coming up to me and greeting me personally. Imagine all the guests they see in a 3 month period and they recognized me!

We had a smooth sailing even with going during "hurricane" season. A few short showers did not dampen our spirits, no pun intended.

It was my Moms' first time on NCL and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. Her only complaint was I made her walk a lot - she is 77 - and mostly up and down the stairs since I rarely waited for an elevator. We were on the 5th floor so we walked A LOT. My only complaint would be the time needed to wait for an elevator.

Nester, our cabin steward was fantastic. Our room was always neat, clean, restocked, etc. I enjoyed my "menagerie" of towel animals!

Great Stirrup Cay

Love this little spot to spend the day. Sand, sea, chairs, BBQ and gift shopping is all I needed to unwind!
