gem vs breakaway

[luv2gamble]

Hi all ! I have been on the Breakaway twice and loved it. Booking again but thinking about the gem. Does anyone know if the Gem has Texas Holdem in the casino? Any suggestions? Breakaway again or try to Gem? Thanks all!

Yes, they played every sea day.

They played every night starting around 9. During the day there were tournaments. After the tournament a cash game never got off until the evening.

I've been on the Gem 5 times and have 2 more booked. I was on the Breakaway once in January 2015. I personally prefer the Gem and the other Jewel Class ships. I find the Breakaway too large and the staff too business-like. The staff on the Gem has always felt like they are family and truly enjoy what they are doing. The staff addresses us by name when seeing us throughout the ship and always go out of their way to greet us.

Even though we are booked on the Breakaway for November, not a fan of the ship at all! The worst service we ever had on a cruise ship & we cruise a lot.. Only booked it again due to a cruise reward we needed to use and the Port of NYC .. The itinerary Bahamas/Florida is getting old... I would suggest the Gem.

I like both though they are quite different. I would try the one you've not cruised. :cool:
