We have been on Breakaway once and have booked again for May. We have traveled on Gem several times--just returned 7 Feb from a 9 day cruise. While we enjoy the Gem and especially this time, as we were in an Owner's Suite, we LOVED the Breakaway. I think the food, service, and entertainment on the Breakaway is far superior to the Gem. Our concierge on the Gem, Pearl, was outstanding but some of the other little things could be improved--like the "priority" disembarkation where we were left waiting over 40 min past the time we were told to meet.

We will go on the Gem again--there is nothing really wrong with it--they have the best "washy washy" young lady ever at the Garden Cafe! But we just loved the design and style of the Breakaway--it never felt like a mega ship while we were on it. However, I should qualify that--we only go in The Haven so that shapes our experience much differently.

Thank you, OP, for your review.

Their web sight is worth a visit to if you want to see where they are going next.

Hope someone posts soon who will be taking there place.

And they have tshirts available through cafepress!

We love Jose and Patti--thank goodness they will still be on the ship when we cruise on 30 May!
