Princess Emerald Princess Cruise Reviews for Family to Canada & New England

I travelled alone for a first-time cruise and chose this itinerary because I live in NYC, wanted an easy, stress-free vacation, and loved the itinerary (which included two ports at which I could visit with family and friends). My home is an easy cab ride from the terminal. I had received my medallion by mail and got on to the ship very quickly. At the end of the sailing, I got off the ship ...

First cruise since Covid, our first cruise with Princess. What a wonderful experience! No hassle embark and disembark process in Brooklyn with our “Medallion” digital wearable device, which also was used throughout our cruise for all our activities. It made our cruise and excursions seamless! The staff at all levels on this cruise went above and beyond to provide help and comfort with ...

Embarkation: arrived at the port at 11:45. Baggage handlers were ready at the curb. We were in the green lane and proceeded quickly thru security and onto the ship. The ship was in great condition. We had an unexpected sea day at the start of our journey because tropical storm Ophelia caused us to leave New York Harbor a day late. The ship anchored for our first night near the Verrazano ...

We chose this as an anniversary cruise as we got engaged in Bar Harbor and have not been back since. We were quite concerned about Hurricane Lee but it ended up being of no consequence, we had calm seas and only rain in Boston, other wise perfect weather. We arrived early at JFK and took a Lyft to the cruise port in Brooklyn ( It was about $ 65-70) Our plan was to dump our luggage and ...

We toured the Canadian ports and also along the Eastern Seaboard ending in New York City. The trip got off to a terrible start when we were delayed by United in Chicago and missed our flight from Montreal to Quebec City. This was a completely avoidable delay with 45 minutes being spent waiting for an airplane to be brought to the gate from a hanger. Then another 60 minute delay while crew counted ...

great cruise overall with wonderful ports of call...i mean how do you beat stops in nova scotia, boston and the big apple??? weather prohibited stopping in Maine but considering the time of year, missing one port was not a big deal... the emerald P. is extremely well maintained and the crew, as always with princess in our experience, went out of their way to make it a wonderful experience. food ...

Flew into Quebec City the day before we could board our ship the Emerald Princess. We have cruised with Princess three times before all on either the Coral or Island Princess so this ship was much larger than we were used to. Ship - our ship was amazing. We had no issues with the condition or any staff that were onboard. We were taken care of by everyone from our room steward to the wait ...

This was supposed to be a leisurely trip through the St. Lawrence Seaway and then down the east coast with several stops on the East Coast. Instead we were never quite sure of where we were going next. Many passengers were disappointed that we did not get to stop at the scheduled stops, however, almost all took it in good spirits realizing that our safety in the face of super storm Sandy was ...

The cruise began with a quick non-stop flight from the Raleigh/Durham airport. We purchased Princess transfer (as we always do in New York) and had to wait about 45 minutes for another plane to arrive with more passengers with transfers. The ride from the airport (JFK) to the port in Red Hood/Brooklyn was unbelievable. Our shuttle driver would have fit right in with the crazy drivers in Rome. ...
