This was only my 5th cruise, but they have all been in 1 year. The first was a transatlantic from Galveston to Barcelona on the Voyager.
I wasn't going to write a review, not my nature, but after reading some negative reviews here, I have to vote for the positive ones. It was an excellent crossing.
The Emerald is in fine shape, the ports are good, the food was good, embarkation and debarkation were not a problem, my inside cabin was fine, the crew was excellent, lada, lada, lada.
