Scenic Gem cabins and suites

All Scenic Gem cabins have a maximum capacity of 2 guests per cabin. With the exception of the lower (Jewel Deck 1) cabins (located at water level), all other staterooms (80%) are balcony cabins. They are advertised by Scenic Tours as “Suite” accommodations with “Sun Lounges”. Each of these features a private step-out balcony designed for all-weather use. The ship offers 12 cabin categories.

Follows a review of Scenic Gem staterooms, including furniture, price-included amenities, and complimentary services:

• Unlike most Scenic cruise ships, Gem has no single cabins (balcony suites can be booked with single-occupancy supplement rates).
• All Scenic Gem rooms feature twin beds (convertible to a queen, with luxury bedding sets), bedside tables with lamps, a luxury en-suite bathroom (WC, sink, shower cubicle, lighted mirror, color lighting system, luxury bath products including shampoo, liquid soap, conditioner, and body lotion), sliding-door closets (with hangers, drawers, and shelves), flat HDTV (linked to an Apple Mac mini computer with Infotainment system, radio, and “View From the Bridge” real-time webcam views), desk, bookcase, safe, leather chair, mini-bar (complimentary and restocked daily with soda, juice, sparkling water, liqueur, and snacks), iPod station (with clock), hairdryer, bathrobes, slippers, umbrella, individual climate control, and 220V power outlets (European/Australian sockets only; American guests need adapters).
• All staterooms on Jewel Deck 1 feature fixed (non-opening) picture windows located high on the riverside wall. All other accommodations are in Suite categories and feature floor-to-ceiling sliding doors opening to a private full-size veranda (furnished with one round table and two wicker chairs). These balconies (widely known as “Sun Lounges”) are glass-enclosed areas (part of the cabin) with comfortable seating, located behind floor-to-ceiling opening windows. Behind the windows are sheer and blackout curtains. The cabin’s “sun lounge” section can easily transform into an outdoor balcony at the push of a button.
• Suite bathrooms feature large glass-enclosed showers with doors.
• Both Royal Panorama Suites (1-bedroom suites located aft on Diamond Deck 3) are the largest accommodations on the ship. Their plans show aft-wall windows, a large lounge area with sofa, a bathroom with a separate shower and bathtub configuration, and a spacious wraparound balcony.
• Royal Suites (category R on Deck 3 portside) feature a larger lounge area (with sofa), bathrooms with dual sinks, a separate bathtub and shower, and ample cabinet space.
