Murder Mystery lunch on Gem

[Lmoore31]

Hi,

Can anyone who has been to this advise on the cost and the menu? It sounds like a fun thing to do on a sea day but with UDP, I am not sure if the cost is worth it or not.

Thank you, Lisa

I did it last year so the price may have changed. At that time it was $20 per person. They served a salad, choice on entree (chicken was delicious) and a dessert. This may be different due to the new a la carte pricing got the restaurants. My husband and I thought it was a lot of fun. It lasts about 2-3 hours.

When is it held? What day of the trip?

We were on a 10 Day on the Gem and I want to say that it was the afternoon of the last sea day, maybe 2nd to last sea day. It was around $25.00 plus the lovely 18%. It was held in LeBistro.

 

I thought it was cute. Kind of hard to see at times as there was no stage. This show is interactive in comparison to the Wine Musical and I enjoy yelling things out so I was in heaven. :D

 

I thought it was a set menu like Cirque but there might have been options. I don't remember the food being killer but did note that I didn't feel that there was enough staff for the amount of people in the show. Like people in one half of the dining room would be done with a course and the other half didn't have food. And we waited a long time for drink refills but this kind of had to do with the performance being done in the middle of the restaurant. A server most certainly can't walk through a performance to get me my martini.

 

Also of note be prepared for shared seating. If that is a deal breaker with you. I believe there were maybe 5 2-seat tables in the entire set up.

 

The UDP shouldn't apply because it is a lunch. In my opinion, it was worth it to break up a long sea day as the Gem can lack organized activities in the middle of the day.
