Cruzinnana47 Posted April 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We're booked for the 10-day Canada itinerary in Sept. on the Gem from NYC. Usually book a balcony, but this time decided to save some $$ and went with an oceanview (deck 8). If anyone has been in one of these, what can we expect? It's just the 2 of us. TIA!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndabunka Posted April 22, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Probably something like this: I don't think they said if it was obstructed or not. Both are available on deck 8. Yours is of the obstructed view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinnana47 Posted April 22, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Actually, when I pointed out to my DH that the Blue Lagoon AND Moderno are located on Deck 8, he was very happy to learn that. ;) We don't have an obstructed view (from what I understand), but a picture window OV Aft, so think this will work out fine for us, especially as we are headed NORTH this time. Don't think we'd miss a balcony as much as we would if we were cruising to the Caribbean or Panama Canal. Just wondered if anyone who has had an AFT OV on the Gem found it roomy enough with adequate storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhJinkies Posted April 23, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I traveled in an OV stateroom on the Gem in 2010 with a friend and we really liked it. I would have preferred a balcony, but we had a back-to-back itinerary totaling 14 days and they wanted an extra $700 pp for a balcony. Instead, I purchased the spa pass and had a nice area to relax and shower. Other friends had a balcony stateroom and actually preferred our layout. Here are a few photos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted April 23, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I was in one on 8 aft, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzinnana47 Posted April 23, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Thanks for your responses--and thank you, OhJinkies, for the pix--that looks fine. And like I said, DH is happy we'll be right down the deck from Blue Lagoon and Moderno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
