We picked this Cruise because was going in most Ports we have not been to. Price was good and we really wanted to celebrate bringing in the NEW YEAR in a way we have never done before. ThePanama Canal tour and ferry Ride was such a historic thing to see. Our favorite place to be on ship was in the Explorer Lounge, The bar attendants were GREAT, on the spot with making sure you had your drink and ...
This was my second Princess Cruise. I gave it 4 stars since the ship really went all out to protect us from the spread of COVID and had outstanding food and excursions. It was somewhat lacking in production shows but the ship was only half full so I understand if they needed to cut corners somewhere. Frankly I’m not that interested in the shows, but rather more into the excursions and educational ...
Well I’ll start out by saying we were very disappointed when this cruise got switched from the Crown to the Emerald. Emerald needs to be retired. It’s old. Not in great condition. Food was disappointing and shows were boring. I’ve never seen so many walkers on any cruise I’ve ever been on. This was our 18th cruise. 3rd this year. Crew was great. Best meal was in the Crown Grill. Dinner choices in ...
We were in club class and utilized the dedicated dining room. That was a huge plus. Deck 15 food was lacking. Burgers good, pizza greasy, ice cream ok. Needed a sandwich bar. Buffet was pretty bad. Still managed to gain 4 pounds.
Shocked at how many people went without masks or failed to put their mask over their nose. I understand the passengers and crew were fully vax'd, but Princess ...
The Good: Staff, Club Class, and the Sanctuary made the cruise for us. If you are wondering if Club Class is worth the extra money, it is! From priority embarkation to the dining room with no wait, this was the best thing we ever did. The first night we went to the MDR by accident and the line was 50 deep. People WITH reservations had been waiting for 45 minutes. We realized we were not in ...
On 11/6/21 we set sail on the Emerald Princess for a 10 day cruise. We had not cruised on Princess in a long time but we wanted to do the Panama Canal so we chose this cruise. There were 1714 passengers on this cruise on a ship that has a capacity of 3080 so it did not feel crowded. This is our fourth cruise this year and each time getting onboard is a cumbersome process. In order to board you ...
Was pleasantly surprised that the complaints about the Emerald Princess were rectified for our stateroom D727 and throughout the ship. I did here people complaining about some of the most nitnoid items that I had to laugh.
To the 19 year old chubby boy whose day was ruined because the plate in the Horizon Court buffet wasn't hot and to the 40 year old lady who pitched a fit in Cafe Caribe ...
This is my 41st cruise and my first review on Cruise Critic. Princess is an outstanding cruise line and one of my favorites, but, they need to work on a few things. As I stated, I have been on 41 cruises, so I consider myself a bit of an seasoned cruiser. Princess has the worst embarkation process I have ever encountered. I have only been on four Princess cruises and for each cruise there has been ...
Salty Dawgs know to expect Spring Break hounds aboard from mid-March to mid-April. The math is predictable: Spring Breakers plus frequent Happy Hours equals? On this cruise the Spring Break pack generally stayed around the main pool convenient to the bar, Trident Grill and the buffet.
Itinerary: Emerald Princess - March 10~14, 2016: Ft. Lauderdale-at Sea-Grand Cayman Island-at Sea-Ft. ...
Emerald Princess – Western cruise – 2/27/2016
We had a mini-mini suite – D732 – at the very aft. The balcony was oversize with two lounge chairs and 2 footstools. There is no cover from the sun and rain.
The suite had a large (uncomfortable to sit on ) sofa, one club chair, two 2tv’s, and best of all….VERY comfortable beds. Plenty of closet and storage space with room under the bed for ...
