Rare amygutman Posted July 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Good Afternoon Friends - Curious about any cosmetic changes in the Gem Haven since the dry-dock. It looks like from the rare photos I see post 2015 that there have been no upgrades to the furniture or furnishings. I remember from visiting the Haven area (we had a cabin tour) the extremely vibrant purples, oranges and velvet coverings - hey...it's tropical themed, but a bit jarring if I recall correctly. New or old, it won't affect our trip, though I am hoping for upgraded mattresses. Even in 2015, they were a bit lumpy. But... it's still "vacation lumpy" which means better than my comfy bed I have to leave every morning to go to work! Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer. Warm Regards, Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto2girls Posted July 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I can on,y speak for the Haven and Garden Villa we were in ..they Villa had a lot of changes in carpet and furniture. The mattresses in all the Haven rooms have always IMHO been extremely comfortable. The Haven courtyard area was updated . The Gem is absolutely our favorite ship.

Rare amygutman Posted July 24, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Oh, that's fantastic to hear - thank you! Our 8 year old usually prefers to sleep on the couch rather than on the extra bed, and the youtube videos do not look like the couches (pre-drydock) were particularly comfortable. Having a grouch child try to sleep with you in med is like wrestling with an octopus on caffeine. :) Put of curiousity, if you don't mind, when did you sail and in what room? Thanks - Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronymous Posted July 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I know I’m in the minority, but I loved the tacky purple decor of the Gem’s suites. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare amygutman Posted July 24, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't care about tacky...it's vacation! Bring it on! Comfy, on the other hand...that's a priority. I understand that the tiny gym area went away - did the sauna go away as well? If so, then I think I am going to book the thermal spa pass. Again...it's a comfort thing. Thank you so much for your reply.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The Gem Haven area was re-done during the drydock. Much less cluttered, the "gym" area swapped to loungers. Lights changed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
