Emerald Princess Review

Additional details
We didn't have to walk far to find a table while dining on the Lido deck. We didn't have to fore-go sitting by the pool because of lack of loungers. We didn't have to stroll long on the walking deck to locate comfortable chairs to rest in. In the Workout Room, we didn't have to stand around waiting to use equipment. Approaching the dining room, the waiting was at a minimal. Most nights we just walked in.
The spaciousness of the different areas of the ship were the number one most appreciated feature for us.
The second was the new non-smoking ship mandates. It was so nice to walk down the corridor to or from our stateroom and not smell smoke. It was even nicer to enjoy our balcony without being forced inside due a neighboring smoker.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Our balcony stateroom was the last AFT Starboard side, where we had an extra large balcony. It would hold a lounger and an extra chair, but we still only had two chairs and a tiny table which doubled as a ottoman most of the time out on our balcony!
Princess's open closet alcoves off the entrance hallway are always appreciated. The bathroom, in regular balcony rooms is, contrarily, small. A one person bathroom.
This room has room for only chairs. One at the desk and one other in front of the balcony door. Amble storage space, though.
No make-up mirror, and the lighting was just not good for putting on detail work for aging eyes. However, the hairdryer is affixed to the wall and was more effective than other ship lines we have experienced.
