Cabin was exactly what I expected it to be, small but functional.  It was clean and the Steward was very nice.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

Over and hour to embark.
Over an hour to disembark.

New York (Manhattan)

Possibly the best excursion we enjoyed.  Still, the extra 25 minute wait to embark on the Gem was too long.  Maybe it would be prudent to have more than 2 people checking ID's.

We received a low number tender beforehand to get off the ship and spent a good amount of time at their beach.  The walk to the Cabana was a bit long (about 10 minutes in the sun).  They do have a shuttle service that runs in the back.  Food and Service there was enjoyable.  Worth getting if you have a large party. Embarking and disembarking was still poor and long.

5) Day 5 - Deck 12 - Aft Bar - Bartender took average of 7 to 10 minutes per customer to serve.6) Day 5 - Deck 13 - Bar overlooking the pool area - towards bow - witnessed 2 Customers skipped, slow service time - averaged between 6 to 8 minute wait time.
