tvtd4u Posted July 12, 2008 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Having explored the good ship Gem via the internet, I noted that there are two spots on the deck plans that say "Golf" Are these golf simulators? Or are they a place to get golf information? Or what? I am an avid golfer, though this cruise I will not be doing any golf excursions, but if there is a simulator on board I would love to spend an hour or two "playing." Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I too am a big golfer, so far I have been on the Star and Dawn so I can't speak for the Gem. The two "GOLF" spots on those ships are driving nets. They do have a Pro who holds some clinics and offers lessons for a fee but no simulators on either the Star or Dawn so I'm gonna guess no. But I could be wrong. Where is the Gem going that it doesn't have Golf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Not a golfer so not sure of the technical term , but those are sort of small putting areas... not a simulator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davejohn Posted July 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think only Carnival lines (Carnival, HAL, Princess, etc.) offer onboard golf simulation through IAGTO. On the Gem the 2 golf areas are driving cages with nets and a small putting surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budandbreezer Posted July 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Going on Jade in a coyuple of weeks - are there any practise nets on board? I could lose my other half for a good proportion of the holiday if there are!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvtd4u Posted July 13, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Great. Nets. Maybe I can just hit a few balls? I'm sure there is golf on this cruise, but since Rome and Florence are two of the "ports" This trip is about good food, good wine and great artists and museums. I will play golf the other 51 weeks of the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to make a side trip on your own to the Royal Malta Golf Club. Only 65 Euros! The last time I swung a club on a cruise was to hit balls off the back of the Sovereign of the Seas. That was when they still had skeet shooting too. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
