YES!!! LOVE the espresso machine! I would make myself a cup in the morning and go out onto my balcony when we had a suite on the Gem in April. :) However, out butler never replenished our fruit (had it rotting on table). But I've heard that we had a C+ butler.

during the day, does this machine have the same flavor water that was on the breakaway?

 

I was on the Breakaway last year and it was the same. Instead of two orange juices, they had lemonade, I think. Oh, and some have sugar-free versions of those drinks.

I don't know if I missed it or not but do you know when the Platinum Behind the Scene tour was? I believe it's the first sea day but not sure of the time?

 

 

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Harriet

 

 

They are having that tomorrow at 10:30. We are planning to attend as well!

You know they may not replenish it. They did the grapes we ate but not anything we left uneaten is still there.

Walked over and bought two aqua-adventure day passes and there was a large group just before us so they gave us the same 20% discount

Thanks Jaja! They did have the party the second night but we missed it. It was from 7-7:45 if I am not mistaken.

 

I sure will get you a pic of the lunch menu at cagneys.

 

Thanks for following all week!

I am so enjoying your "live" reporting. I have been on the Gem several times with several more upcoming and feel as if I am kind of seeing the ship for the first time. You are doing an amazing job and hope you continue to have an amazing cruise. Thank you. :):):):)

 

 

Thanks witmb :) ! Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for the well wishes! I know it is not needed because any cruise is a good cruise, but I hope you enjoy your upcoming trips as well on the Gem!

Scuba Training ( probably some frightful sights under there lol. )

Atlantis was really packed today, and every chair near the pools or river were taken so we found two on the beach not far from the lazy river.

We took turns going around a couple of times each. It is hard on the back the older we get lol. Then got our fill of sun and wind and continued our wandering:

 

Watched these guys for a bit, nice looking fellows ;)

Then caught them being fed:

Wandered back towards the hotel and casino:

Every Time I see turtles I think of the turtle from Nemo. Whoa duddeee. This guy stuck his head up to say hi:
