NorthernNeighbour Posted December 18, 2007 #6 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I took the two nughter on decmber 13th, 2007. I thought people would enjoy seeing the Gem docked in Boston in the storm we had. Good photos -- apart from the snow storm, how did you enjoy the GEM? Our travel agent was on that two-nighter also and she is raving about it. And this is a TA who ONLY books cruises and books lots of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktpc2005 Posted December 18, 2007 #7 Share Posted December 18, 2007 My PCC sent the pix below, taken in Boston. I get cold just looking at them! I was happy that I went to the Med Sea to enjoy the Gem instead of waiting until she came to my backyard. I remember laying out on the same deck 2 months ago in 70 degrees in Villefranche.

trish1c Posted December 18, 2007 #10 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I don't know . . . maybe the "water" slide is even slipperier & more fun. Just gotta watch that landing. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scopewest Posted December 18, 2007 #11 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'd forgotten what snow looks like in large quantities, living out here. Thanks for posting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithkids Posted December 18, 2007 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I keep looking at these winter Gem pictures expecting to see my son. We were on the Boston to nowhere cruise and my son and his friend were in the hot tub. Their barefoot prints were in the snow. My daughter who is apparently a little more sane than they are did not go in but did take their picture. She told me that there were many people taking their picture. Crazy teenagers on a cruise.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMCOLT Posted December 18, 2007 Author #15 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I did the two day. The ship is wonderful. Much nicer than the Dawn. The deck 12 garden Buffet is big and comfortable including booths. Blue lagoon is bigger than the Dawn. The atrium is neat with the two level screen that people playedn Wii on. The main Rest. Is more traditional decor, but real nice. Bliss is cool with the four bowling lanes. Here are a few shoots' Crew in snow,Snow on Balcony Atrium Dnning room, Garden Buffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachMartini Posted December 18, 2007 #16 Share Posted December 18, 2007 What a ride! Saturday afternoon we were watching the Pats game in Spinnakers when all of the sudden chunks of ice the size of couch cushions started slamming into the windows! At first we thought it was hailing but it turns out that the deck above us was the pool deck and frozen slabs of ice were blown off by the wind. Then, a lounge chair flew off, bounced into the window RIGHT WHERE WERE WERE SITTING and went into the ocean! Boy were we scared! We were dealing with 20 foot swells coming at us from two directions and 50 mph wind gusts!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted December 18, 2007 #17 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Those photos remind me of a cruise on the Sky Princess, 4-97, Osaka Japan to Vancouver BC, via Vladivostock and the Aleutian Islands. It was so cold crossing the North Pacific, the outside decks were closed off due to ice/snow buildup. Luckily, there was a huge indoor jacuzzi, that was pretty well attended.

mbisson Posted December 18, 2007 #18 Share Posted December 18, 2007 My PCC sent the pix below, taken in Boston. I get cold just looking at them! Looks like the same ones Fran sent to me also!

My daughter who is apparently a little more sane than they are did not go in but did take their picture. She told me that there were many people taking their picture. Crazy teenagers on a cruise.:D OMG, those were your kids! I bet they were cold when they got out of the hot tubs. We were moderately crazy like them. We ate the barbecue lunch/diner outside in the 30 degree weather! We both had on parkas, hats, and gloves and the Garden cafe seemed like it had no seats left. Believe it or not, we had a waitress outside, even in that weather, she was taking our drink orders. Great pics everyone! BTW, I did not know the wind was that bad because I did not know what 25 knots meant. Gulp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted December 18, 2007 #21 Share Posted December 18, 2007 That would be fun! Let's suggest it to her. I'll definitely sign up. You coming? It would depend on when/where/price---but I was looking at deals with NCL today ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbisson Posted December 18, 2007 #23 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Why certainly you could...but ya know, I was thinking, we couldn't discuss a group cruise on these boards unless it's an official CC group cruise...but I think a bunch of friends just booking the same itinerary would be OK ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouti123 Posted December 18, 2007 #24 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Allyscud, How did you watch the Patriots game on Saturday? I was on the two day out of Boston and they could not pick up the feed from the satellite. We saved our seats in the Atrium since 11:00AM and only saw the Pittsburgh game. Plus, it was Sunday? We kept running from the Atrium to the Spinnaker and knew nothing of a chair going out the window. Aren't the windows safety glass and not supposed to break? We had a fabulous time and never was sick. She is a GORGEOUS ship. My second favorite next to RCCL Brilliance of the Seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted December 18, 2007 #25 Share Posted December 18, 2007 That would be fun! Let's suggest it to her. I'll definitely sign up. You coming? OK I emailed her and she said they've considered it in the past and now if they think there might be some interest they'll think about it some more. BTW-she said you and I are her 2 favorite CC clients. But now I wonder if we're the only two :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
