Hi Jack,
The Gem really was not our first choice, as we have done the
Mediterranean
on the Renaissance 7 when she was still under the previous ownership and
also the newer HAL Westerdam and they were both extremely enjoyable. Our
daughter, who is with a medical team in Africa, is meeting up with us in
Venice several days before we all sail together... our itinerary is
Split,
Croatia and the Greek Isles. Living in and traveling throughout Africa,
she
has no need for a formal wardrobe and so we will have to go with a
mixture
of smart casual/casual on this one and for that reason we chose NCL Gem.
She
has never been to Venice nor the Greek Isles so we are excited about
sharing
this with her.

Thanks again!

Jean,

I would imagine that it doesn't make too much difference what ship you're
on, if you're going to the Greek Isles :-)

Marsha

Probably so, Marsha, but in the ship's dining room on other lines it would,
so we chose one that we would not feel out of place on formal nights.

So right, Jean, I look like warmed over death in formal and you, wow,
images of rotted mummies come to mind
