Emerald Princess Review
The Far Side Of The World, Part 1: New Caledonia & Vanuatu (Pre-Cruise Adelaide)
Rating by category
Additional details
This review includes information on both our March 7, 2017, New Caledonia & Vanuatu cruise and on our 4-night pre-cruise stay in Adelaide, Australia. The cruise portion of this trip gave us the opportunity to visit five new ports and dive at several outstanding dive sites. The land portion allowed us to tour three of Australia’s premier wine regions.
We combined this cruise with the Emerald Princess’ March 18 New Zealand cruise; I have written a separate review for that cruise.

Cabin Review
Balcony
We had booked a category BF balcony guarantee stateroom and were assigned a category B1 cabin on the Caribe deck starboard near the midships stairs/elevators. We had been offered an upsell to a mini-suite for US$199 pp, but preferred to stay on the Caribe deck because of its extra-large balconies, which are half open and half covered.
