The ports enticed us back to Princess Cruise Lines.

THE GOOD (and it was mostly Excellent:)

The Emerald is one absolutely gorgeous ship offering a plethora of first class entertainment options. No disappointments here! Embarkation was routine and efficient. Food was delicious, plentiful and available 24 hours. The bi-tri-lingual Lido deck staff made every diner feel special. Our verandah cabin had a large closet across from the washroom instead of a poky storage cupboard. Gorgeous ports with lots of options for sightseeing. The photography staff Carin and Carly were exceptionally personable and knowledgable,as were all of their talented team. Our steward, Eric, was one of the best in the business. The laundry area with ironing board was useful. The spa was clean and relaxing. Easter and Fri Sabbath services were respectfully available. We found our fellow cruisemates to be friendly, interesting, and fun to spend time with. All in all a great ship and a great cruise. Would we sail Princess again? A qualified "Most likely". Read more
