Sail Date: Mar 2017
Cabin: Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony
My partner and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on the Gem.
We had an awesome time - unfortunately the weather wasn't all that great...however there were alot of things to do on the ship.
Best thing we did was purchase the therma spa passes and invest in some spa packages. The Mandara Spa staff were amazing, welcoming and very professional.

Port Reviews
New York (Manhattan)
It was a crazy day trying to get to the ship...the city had a number of streets closed for snow removal and for a marathon....took us a little longer to get to the ship
San Juan
Old San Juan is clean, safe and beautiful architecture...its is nice to just walk around an explore
St. Thomas
Have to admit - we made it only to downtown and visited and purchased jewelry at International Diamonds (Frank bought a Phillip Stein Watch - staff were lovely and not pushy)and Grand Jewellers (love this store - Jay you were the best....love the bling bling)
Downtown was clean - cost $4 each to get to town and same for going back to the ship. Nice shopping area right off the boat.
St. Maarten
Love St. Maartin - we travel to the island frequently. Again visited a number of our favourite stores in downtown Phillipsburg - Grand Jewellers (thanks Neil for the bling bling and the great lunch). Super Restaurant on the boardwalk - Toulas Mangos/Blue Bitch bar
Tortola
Quaint island - we just walked around the harbour into downtown. There are some nice stores right off the ship.
