So for those of you who thought there wouldn't be any big changes, there are! Look at the pictures I have posted here for you. Enjoy. There is alot that can be done in 2 weeks when everything is planned and construction is in place as soon as the ship docks. Here you go....:D

Gee, these photos look very familiar! Did you ask for permission to take them?

We are sailing on the 12th as well, so far no email from NCL. I figured there would be a lot of kids since it is spring break.

Consider joining the Roll Call!:)

Looks fresh and lovely, can't wait to see it in person! I noticed some work going on a few weeks ago, really wasn't disruptive at all.:)

The Gem crew makes everyday on board a happy day, thank you Gem crew!:)

Love it, thank you Gambee!

12 is certainly the best deck in my opinion. But 12906 should be just as good good as the other ones. Any of deck 12 should do you just fine.

Thank you!

Gambee, now that you have had a few moments to rest, I have a cabin question if you don't mind. Any updates on your feelings about the stern cabins? Was 12906 the best choice on 12, and do you still think 12 is the best choice of deck?

Thanks!

My heartfelt thanks to you for this amazing travelogue. I am astonished by the amount of work you have done. It is truly appreciated; hope to meet you someday!:)

Love the videos! Once I started I couldn't stop until I had watched them all! Great narration and you gave me some laughs as well!

This is so bitter sweet, can't wait to read day 7, but hate to see it come to and end!

Enjoyed your review, thank you!

I love bistro escargot but the one really bad dish was the escargot on the Breakaway

Travesty!!!!:(

I love how people are now reviewing the review :). For what its worth I give 5 out of 5 .

Agree!!

We just returned from the Gem today. We had Zahed as our butler and Ryan as the concierge. We think it was unfair for all the unfavorable comments about Ryan. He was there at the beginning. He was available each morning at the Star bar. Even though we made our own reservations, he would ask how our dinner was there. He knew where we had eaten. He knew our names on the second day. He asked to be of more help to us. We told him just knowing he was there was help enough. Our butler also was helpful but we didn't use his services. We told Ryan we would be very happy to cruise with him again.

Happy to hear this. We have also enjoyed him very much!

We usually love La Cucina, especially the Tiramisu!:)

That picture of the chandelier is amazing! Some time ago, I was trying to show pictures of the BA to my husband to get him revved up about the ship. I tried NCL's site, but honestly it was hard to find really good stuff. Your stuff is so much better, thank you, thank you!

Photos are amazing, the best I have seen!

<3 Gambee <3

Lots of great info and tips, thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you Gambee, loving it already:D

Even better, I just realized that I am in the same cabin as you!

I like the "tunnel balconies on the Breakaway, especially for us sailing in November. We'll get full use of the balcony from any chilly weather, wind and rain, as well as hot sun. If we want to be more in the sun, just move closer to the rail. I think having the "tunnel" balconies give you the best of both worlds. Where else can you sit on a lounge chair in inclement weather and still be outside the ship? Works for us, happy with our B1 deck 12 decision.

I was thinking that also! If it gets to be too much sun we can just slide back and get a little shade!:)

Great cabin tour, thanks!

bear, you are a doll for doing this! I will submit the cabin measurements for my deck 11 B1, but not going until 6/30. You will probably have them by then.:)

Thank you Mike!

Love this, thank you!
