Princess Emerald Princess Cruise Reviews for Romantic to the Transatlantic

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 ...

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 ...

Basically chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We had never cruised on Princess before, so we were excited to give them a try. The ship itself was fine. Great venues, well-appointed and designed for the most part. The stateroom was satisfactory as well. The exception to this is the World Fresh Market (Lido Deck). Too small and compact. Even though there were two sides, there was ...

Ship was understaffed. Food was the worst quality on a cruise that I’ve ever had, tough steaks, overcooked fish, sauces that were gelatinous and unpalatable. Breakfast buffet servers routinely ignored passengers causing lines. Total fiasco at Southampton on May 1 causing numerous passengers to miss flights. It was as if they had never operated a cruise during Covid. Passengers staying onboard were ...

First I've cruised with Princess 17 times. I've always enjoyed the cruises. This cruise was a disaster from start to finish.I am slightly disabled and need a wheelchair to get on the ship. It wasn't there although it was requested. The line to get onboard was miles long and not moving. I don't know what the issue was. My steward informed me that they only cleaned the room once a day now. ...

This was my 5th cruise with Emerald princess. I was not disappointed. The staff was every attentive to all my needs, from the customer service clercks to the room stewards. (Ronald) Mona In the Spa massages were mind blowing. her gentleness and attention to detail is one of the reasons why I keep returning to Emerald Princess. The cleanliness of the floors was remarkable. the tables were ...

Our experience with Princess Cruises was very disappointing. The Baltic cruise was modified to exclude Russia, which was OK. Then it was effectively cancelled and replaced with a repositioning back to England. The distances between ports, and the low value of the stops, made it seem likely that the choice of ports was to make up for an inability to refuel in Russia. The slower a boat sails, ...

My sister and I chose this cruise because she is a Platinum Medallion member and has had many positive experiences on Princess cruises. As a relatively new cruiser, I was looking forward to celebrating my 70th birthday in Cherbourg, France. We shared an inside cabin on Caribe deck 10. Our cabin steward was very friendly and attentive. The My Way Dining experience was great, although the staff was ...

Embarkation was a nightmare, 2500 people all lined up for 3 hours at the same time, a disaster. No internet for 13 days, and many days no TV. Had to line up on day 2 for a Covid test, despite already having to provide a negative covid test two days before boarding?? 95% of passengers never wore masks, which was highlighted by dozens of passengers having covid after day 2 tests who were ...

We picked this transitional cruise because the 6 days at sea gave us plenty of time to relax. Embarkation was chaotic. We had used the Medallion app to provide all required info well ahead of time. We were given an 11:30 check-in time. We found that the Priority line for boarding (Platinum and Elite level passengers) was significantly longer and slower than the other line. No explanation given ...
