Well for being my first cruise I can truly say The Emerald Princess didn't disappoint!!!! My wife has been on several, and I have been lucky enough to have traveled quite a bit, but no cruising. All I can say is that I'm sorry I waited. My wife was very impressed with everything, the only knock I can think of is it took to long to get our orange juice in the morning, and ice tea at lunch. Other than that absolutely wonderful!!!!

It's amazing for almost being 3200 people aboard you never felt as if there were any crowds at all. The only time it felt crowded was in the theatre which held 800 people. Other than that the pools weren't crowded, the buffet lines were a little long at breakfast, but not so bad. The food was excellent, The Crown Grill was a culinary treat, and the sit down dinners were superb!!!! Our waiter made nothing but the best recommendations to the point I wouldn't open my menu!!!!!

There was so much to do on board there was not even remotely enough time to get to see and or do everything we wanted. Besides being a beautiful ship, the staff was excellent, fun, friendly and everything in between. The movies under the stars are perfect for a nice relaxing evening, we even did pizza and a movie!!!!! Highly Highly recommend... And this coming from a hospitality major!!!!
