Emerald Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This was a last minute decision to take the Emerald Princess for a New Year's sailing with my husband. Our daughter and her boyfriend, both first time cruisers, joined us.
We had a very enjoyable cruise after the 28 hour trip from Canada to FLL!!! For any of you driving to Florida, we stayed at the Hilton Garden Airport/Cruiseport on Sterling. Included in our night rate was free parking, a hot buffet and a shuttle to and from the cruiseport. Excellent service, newer hotel. Not your average stay over FLL hotel. Reasonably priced too!! All that for $200.00 Canadian, for 4 people! (They charge $20.00/day just to park at Port Everglades)
The ship was beautifully decorated for the holidays and New Year's Eve was a night we will never forget.
Cabin Review
First time in an inside cabin with my husband. Although I have stayed in the inside cabins with my fellow cruise consultants/friends, my husband is a Balcony Guy!!
He was surprisingly okay without having a window/door. It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be and found it great for sleeping!
I kept telling him to turn to Channel 44 (the picture of the front of the ship) for his window. He was quite amused!
For what we paid, he said he would stay in an inside again. We can now take another cruise for the money we saved!
