Princess Emerald Princess Family Cruises Reviews

We had not been to several ports in this itinerary, so we thought it was a good choice. The ship is a little dated ie: shower very small with curtain as opposed to other ships with door to the shower. The cabin and balcony were a good size, except that there was no couch and just one chair to sit on. The two specialty restaurants were very good. The service and food was exceptional. The regular ...

Our cruise to the Panama Canal on Emerald Princess did not disappoint, it was a great ratio of at sea days vs port days. The embarkation and disembarkation both ran smoothly. The staff were exceptional, especially our cabin steward. On day 1 he got extra hangers for me and removed the small table, replacing it with an extra chair. Our balcony stateroom was faded and the age really showed but it ...

We booked this cruise at the spur of the moment, and did not shop around to see other options. That said, we were very pleased with the cruise overall. This was our eighth cruise on Princess, and the cruise line's quality of service has always been outstanding for every cruise we've taken over the years. The entire crew are wonderful - they all have a great deal of enthusiasm and are eager ...

The Emerald Princess is a roomy ship with plenty of outdoor space. I was most impressed with all of the staff. Shows were great. I did notice some cutbacks in the choices of food in the MDR. Overall, it was a great trip. Plenty of daily actives and enjoyed the pool at the back of the ship. Our third trip on the Emerald, we had never gone thru the Panama Canal or been to the ports of Huatulco, ...

I choose this cruise as I had always wanted to see the Panama Canal, it was a great experience. The Emerald Princess is not a new ship but it is well maintained. The ship was recently in drydock and some cosmetic improvements were noticeable, particularly new carpets in the hallways and in some cabins. Work was on going during this cruise but did interfere with the cruise experience. The ...

My wife and I love the Transatlantic cruises. After a half dozen ports at the beginning of the cruise, you have almost a week to sit back and relax. The Emerald Princess was just refurbished and everything was in tip top shape. All of the staff was extremely friendly and did a great job. Princess continues to make improvements every time we cruise with them, this cruise was no exception as the ...

The biggest reason I chose this 16-day cruise from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale was the list of 6 intermediate ports of call -- I had never been to any of them! The ports were Cherbourg, Le Verdon, Bilbao, A Coruna, Lisbon, and Ponta Delgada. I was very grateful that I had booked a Princess transfer from London Heathrow Airport to the ship, as the few days before the cruise was sailing it ...

Wife and I and several friends cruised on the Emerald Princess to Ireland, Scotland, and France in July 2022 from Southampton, England. We are all in our 60’s. It was our 30th cruise overall, 4th on Princess. We pick our cruises based on destinations and this one covered a lot of unique stops and areas we wanted to see. I highly recommend this cruise for the destinations and the ship is fine ...

My husband and I prefer cruising on Princess to other lines, not because others aren't also fine. We don't need climbing walls, waterslides, etc. We also have some perks because of our Captain's Circle status. Thus, when we were planning a trip to Ireland and wanted to go on a cruise as well, we naturally looked art Princess first. What had been planned as just he and I and his sister ended up ...

This was our family's BIG vacation, with my wife and I bringing our three adult children along with us, as well - perhaps for the last time as a fully-funded trip. As the first family vacation since COVID started, this was also a big deal for all of us in that we really NEEDED a vacation, as well. We spent four days in London first, renting a flat via VRBO near the Thames. That went, pretty much, ...
