This was our second time on the Emerald Princess. Last year we also sailed in November on the alternate itinerary. The ship was just as beautiful as before.
Pre cruise: We arrived in Florida 2 days before sailing and stayed at the Panther Motel in Deerfield.
Embarkation: Embarkation was very quick this year. We are Platinum members and were sent to the side of the building through a separate entrance. However, even the general embarkation area was moving pretty quickly. We boarded the ship at noon in order to take advantage of the whole afternoon.
