Additional details

Sail Date: Mar 2012

We are mid 60's, fairly active, and have done 22 cruises on various lines. This was our 8th on Princess and 3rd on the Emerald. The Emerald is one of the few ships that offers a 10 night cruise, which is why we keep returning to her. The previous 2 cruises were on the Eastern Caribbean itinerary. We were on her 4 months ago.

EMBARKATION - we flew in the morning of the cruise and arrived at the terminal at about 11:30. We waited in a line and at about 11:45, we were allowed into the Platinum waiting lounge. We were aboard by 12:30. Dropped carry-ons in our cabin and went to the dining room for lunch. We usually go to the Horizon, but decided to try this and it was much more relaxing. We will do this again. We had planned a CC get together at Outriggers Bar for sailaway. About 30 people came and it was nice to put faces to screen names. Sailing was scheduled for 4:00, but we did not sail until almost 6:00. It seems that the ship sails "late" many times. I wonder if the sail a way party is held at 4:00, so as to allow the early diners to participate. Otherwise the 5:30 diners would miss it if it were held at true sail a way.

Cabin - we were in an inside (C-233). This was the same cabin we had in December. Very quiet and convenient to most other decks. We asked our steward for a top sheet and robes. Both quickly arrived.
