The Gem was beautiful. The food, service and activities on this CTN were fabulous! I sailed with 3 newbies and all enjoyed their time onboard. The Quest Show was fun and was the rest of entertainment onboard.
Food is always subjective on a cruise - I must say I enjoyed variety at lunch. Dinner was great, a bit of a miss on desserts but good overall.
Unfortunately the Garden Cafe did not have enough seating but seating was available at La Cucina. At the back of the Garden Cafe similar offerings could be had without the long wait.
