Gem Renovations

[jmcookiemonster25]

We are sailing 1/2 and if I read right the Blue Lagoon is gone? My boys will be devastated loved their wings.

 

It's replaced with O'Sheehans, which has wings too! Honestly the food is pretty much the same as the Blue Lagoon.

Is it still free??

Yess!! Here's the food on the menu.

 

The only thing that you have to pay for is their sundaes (which are HUGEEEEE) and milk shakes. They're only 3 or 4 bucks though.

Jan and David you will definitely see a difference from the last time you sailed.

 

O'Sheehans was up and running as well as Moderno. They both looked fantastic!

I grabbed that off the Gem/Breakaway FB page. Probably should have said that, sorry. But I never said it was my own photo.

So is Moderno only in that little area that was Star Bar?

Dawn, how do you have all this great Gem info? :)

Sailing a lot and going to meet and greets every time. Great for making lots of friends onboard and getting good info.

No. it's actually in the former Cagney's overflow dining area adjacent to Star Bar that was almost never used.

It uses the entire Cagneys extension as well as the old Star bar area which is now Sugar Cane Mojito Bar.

[pixiedustdawn]

Cagneys extension used to be used for breakfast and lunch and sometimes dinner. Past year or two it has only been used for parties as well as meet and greets.

Moderno and SugarCane Mojito Bar...

They will still be able to get wings in O'Sheehan's. Don't worry, be happy!

[pixiedustdawn]

It all looks fantastic. I could go for some wings right now!

 

And some chicken pot pie. Love that Puff pastry!

[RareBird]

Any update on progress?

 

We are leaving in a week and bought a premium restaurant pass :)

 

Very excited, ship looks great.

 

Our 2nd time back on Gem I believe.

Just off the Gem on Monday. Had done a back to back. There was work being done during both cruises and though it could be a little annoying there was nothing that should stop you from having a good cruise. The second cruise (Nov 22) had O'Sheehan's completed and open. There were a few hiccups in the food and service which can be expected from any new restaurant. Having only experienced an O'Sheehan's on the Getaway I can say that the Gem version is not as extensive but should suffice for an onboard pub. It certainly attracted a decent crowd for Sunday football that could be viewed on the big screen in the atrium. I went to Moderno's the second night it was open and the food was excellent.

 

As for the UDP, all restaurants up and running and you should have no issues due to renovations.

First, a big Hi to Rochelle. Enjoyed meeting (and eating and drinking!!!) with you for our Nov. 15-22 portion of our back-to-back.

 

Second, we were told by Gem officers that the Rock Wall is unavailable until February. As you know, Gem is having scrubbers installed, so is using part of sports deck #15 aft for the work. Yes, it is a new government mandate for all cruise lines to install scrubbers. NCL is the first cruise line to begin doing this; the Gem is their 3rd ship to have them installed. IMO, the sooner this is done by all lines, the better for the environment, so thanks, NCL.

Any word on if they will be installing Iconcerge,

[romoelway]

just got off Gem .... wonderful to watch the Broncos beat the Chiefs on the big screen Sunday night ...... but the staircase down from Osheehans needs to be eliminated ... poor design!!

 

Broncos 14 .... Buffalo 3 .... halftime :)

Miss the Gem, as we moved West from NY to N.Az a few months after our Gem Bermuda cruise 10/31-11/6-11. Please anyone Sailing on her, check that the Navy Medal is still on the Mermaid! I placed it there in honor of 3 Family Members(2 Uncles and a Cousin) who all sailed the Seas for the USN.

 

Thanks

Have not yet sailed the Gem, however, I did find a thread that has some pictures of the Mermaid from 2013.

Hope this helps!
