The Emerald Princess caters for just over 3000 passengers, and on our cruise though the majority of passengers were American as expected, there was a rich variety of nationalities present.
The ship is spacious, kept immaculately clean, and we found the staff to be friendly, attentive and polite at all times. Our cabin steward, (David from Mexico), was excellent.
Both embarkation and ...
My family and I were very disappointed at the quality of Princess cruises. There was not a single thing that didn't go wrong during the cruise. Our toilet broke (we waited for someone to come fix it for over an hour), the guest services desk was unhelpful and rude, terrible shows, and I even found several pieces of hair that were not mine on my pillow!!!
As for the food- the Crown Grill was a ...
My husband and I began planning our 11 Day Scandinavian & Russian cruise over a year ago. The trip was planned as our one year anniversary celebration and we invited my sister and brother-in-law to join us. Overall I think that the cruise was mediocre but the ports were so great that it made up for it. The only port we missed was Oslo because of a strike in the city.
Booking process: I ...
Emerald Princess- Great -
-cabin design is excellent - closet area huge and open - situated such that it blocks light from opening bathroom door so as not to disturb DH when you make a mid-night visit - adequately spacious room w/ balcony
-cabins on Riviera deck in low 600's will feel ship's vibration, being under stacks and will hear late night and early morning furniture moving noise from ...
I am an equal opportunity cruise line passenger, but I prefer Princess as I like the laid back atmosphere and consistent service. A cruise is what you make of it, so I'm not going to complain about anything.
We flew into Copenhagen and took the ship's transportation to the port. It was about 30-40 minutes to the ship and another 30-40 minutes to go through the check-in process and board the ...
This eleven day tour of scandinavia and the baltic region with Princess was a great experience. All of our expactations were met and exceeded.
Pre cruise concerns...sea sickness, lack of interest in drinking, gambling, dancing amounted to nothing. There were heaps of things for us to do both aboard and ashore. I loved the art history and gem lectures, jewellery shopping (excellent prices for ...
THE SHIP - large and immaculate, knowledgeable and friendly crew, probably a little biased as we were upgraded from a mini-suite to a penthouse suite...no idea why but obviously very much enjoyed the extra perks, the biggest one being the free Internet!
THE FOOD - we went for anytime dining, sat with different travellers most nights, met some great new friends. Also frequented Sabatini's as ...
We (mother, father, 24 yr old daughter) flew into Copenhagen the morning of the cruise. We usually prefer to give ourselves more time but our work schedules would not allow for this. After a rather unfriendly meeting with the Danish immigration official I discovered my luggage did not make the trip. Not to worry I was handed "the essentials kit" at the airport so what more could I need? Other than ...
Copenhagen
We flew SAS from Newark non-stop to Copenhagen economy - very nice service, drinks free of charge during meals, food very good for airline fare. Reminded me of bygone days in the US. These days we make a habit of flying foreign carriers and it paid off again! Early arrivals in both directions.
We purchased the Copenhagen Card before leaving, which is highly recommended if you ...
Our first time with Princess and I hope it won't be our last! A smooth embarkation at Copenhagen- we had Princess flights and transfers- and we were soon exploring the ship and having a bite to eat in Horizon Court.
The itinerary was great although we weren't ever so struck with Aarhus. The weather was much better than we anticipated and although the Princess trips we took were expensive they ...
