Chose this cruise because of great port diversity: Rome, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Athens, Santorini, South France, Barcelona, Morocco and more. And Because we always have enjoyed Princess and specifically the Emerald. Room was great, see below. cabin steward outstanding. Ship has been updated nicely. Service in main DR was outstanding. Unfortunately the food was terrible! which was a big ...

Our 12th cruise with Princess, 2nd time to Canaries and 2nd time on Emerald Princess. So the best way to do this review is a daily account: Saturday 17/08/16: Pulled up at the Mayflower Terminal a bit early, but check in still dealt with us early. As always it was smooth, seamless and efficient. Found our own way to our balcony stateroom and waited FIVE HOURS for our luggage to arrive so we ...

We booked this cruise fairly close to departure and as a result only had an option for a guarantee inside cabin. As per the cabin review we would not do this again on this ship. Our stateroom attendant however was wonderful. Always friendly, helpful and efficient. Embarkation was handled very well. Probably the smoothest and easiest of any cruise so far. This was our first Princess cruise ...

The embarkation was the best we have had. The evening meal got off to a poor start. Steak pie in a pot was on the menu, and that was all you got - no potatoes, no vegetables. Was told there were vegetables in the pot. The pastry was cut open - no vegetables to be seen. Had to ask for some. Breakfast next morning, waited over an hour to get it. Breakfast next day, waited over an hour again. ...

Embarkation was excellent. We were soon aboard and no huge queue for security. Cabin was as expected. Steward, Conrado, was excellent and kept it spotless. Requests were soon carried out. Muster drill was dragged out and exhausting for those who had had long journeys and couldn't find a seat. Weather was mixed and seas a bit choppy round the islands. We were fixed dinner, early seating. ...

CANARY ISLANDS WITH A SHIP FULL OF BRITS

Emerald Princess had just undergone a major refit, so we were interested to see what had changed. Sabatini's had become “Share” (now 29 USD extra) and part of the Wheelhouse had become the “Salty Dog Gastropub” (also an extra) but we were not tempted to try them. Nor the updated gym. We did, however, love the comfortable new luxury mattresses. The addition of 100 communicating doors might be fine ...

26 April 2016, Southampton to the Canaries. The Imbarcation and disimparcation was very orderly and efficient, Onbord I noticed that the East European staff are not as friendly as staff from other nationalities, the food in the dining room and buffet was extreamily good and the dining room waiters where very friendly and efficient, at peak time the buffet areas was very congested as there ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

This was our first time with Princess although we have cruised many times with other lines.We were given Platinum Captain Circle status because of this. The ship is exactly like P&O Ventura/Azura. Well maintained. We had been told that Princess was " a notch up" from P&O but it isn't. The balcony cabin was fine although I missed the tea and coffee making facility, drinks can be ordered from room ...
