Panama Canal was on our Bucket list and with 19 days aboard the Gem, we couldn't resist.

First a little information about us, I would consider us Newbies to cruising since we only sailed on NCL ( this was our 13th cruise ). NCL makes sense for us since they offer different ships/types and itineraries out of NYC. This was our 6th time aboard the Gem.

Here are my random observations.

Cabin Review

Oceanview Picture Window

Cabin OA

One issue with the drain in the shower, which was corrected by the second day. Cabin Steward attempted to fix it but they had to call in a plumber to snake out the lines. Furniture was in good shape, rug a little worn in places. The safe had issues with the lock button and some numbers, keypad needs replacement.
