Emerald Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We are regular cruisers with Prrinces as we like many aspects of Princess as much as the mix of nationalities who cruise on Princess ships. We booked this cruise about six weeks before as a last minute break having only returned from a long Princess cruise in Australia and New Zealand and Far East in March.
Embarkation.
This proved disappointing - we arrived at the Mayflower Terminal Southampton about 10 minutes later than our allotted time to find a very long line of passengers (pretty much everyone) waiting outside to be processed - which we accepted as being due to the ship undergoing a deep clean due to an outbreak of Norovirus on the previous Cruise.
Cabin Review
StateroomWe had an inside cabin on Alloa deck for this cruise and everything was clean and tidy, the only issue we had was the vibration from the engines which was especially noticeable when docking as this often disturbed our sleep. At times the vibration was also felt when in Horizon court noticeably when seated near the windows. While the vibration was annoying and sometimes uncomfortable it was bearable and we didn't ask if changing our stateroom was possible - but would certainly not book A728 again
