"I cannot recall being on a ship previously where smoking was allowed in a closed separate area." They have a section where smoking is permitted but the smoke permeates the entire casino and even drifts out to the Reception area...."Read More

We chose this cruise mainly because it was going through the Panama Canal which was fantastic, but unfortunately two of the original stops got cancelled, the stop in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua got cancelled just a short time after booking and Grand Cayman got cancelled as the swell was to bad for the tenders. Pros: All the staff were excellent The Medallion App seemed to work well The ...

This was my 15th cruise of the year but my first on Princess. The check-in process was farcical but most of the blame should be attributed to the U.S. Coastguard who picked the eve of Thanksgiving to inspect the ship. The day before the sailing I had received an email instructing me to be there by 12.30pm. Ridiculously late with the information. I rushed to arrive and got there at12.45. I ...

Princess Emerald is a great ship, the staff is wonderful ,the food is awesome and the excursions were great! My husband and I had a great time. The disembarkation was made easy, very organized which made life good. I will definitely book another cruise with Princess in the future. The ship was exceptionally clean , having everyone wash their hands before entering the eating areas. We were on the ...

I chose this cruise because I wanted to go through the Panama Canal, but I did not want to do the longer cruise that goes Florida to California. I also chose it because there were few days a see and interesting port. It is a great cruise. The entertainment was great. There was always something to do. The staff and service was wonderful. The Crooners Bar always had great service and musicians. ...

Great Crew, Good Food, Fun Games, Entertainment and Ports. Poor Embarkation and Unsafe Excursions.

Princess does a great job of selecting and training their staff to be friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We enjoyed the games, dining and entertainment. All six of us had fun playing bocci ball, golf, croquet, etc. The food selection was good and tasty. The Indian curry was a big plus. The comedy, dancing and singing were fun. We took at least one excursion at every port. We all enjoyed the ...

I choose Princess Cruise for the variety and quality of their food. Princess culinary is the best, to my opinion. The restaurant menu are different each couple of days. Princess prioritizes quality over quantity. The amount of food in each plate is adequate for me but may be small for others. This is a plus, because we have the opportunity to order more plates and can teste more ...

From checking in to checking out this was a great experience. The food was great. Entertainment top rated! The ship layout is easy to navigate which I can't say is true on all ships. The crew was very friendly-made you feel special. They captain was informative and not stiff in his talks as most captains are. The panama canal locks were special sight to see. We overnighted in Cartagena. Many ...

I chose this cruise because my 87 year old mom wanted to go on a cruise to see the Panama Canal where her uncle had been stationed. This was her first cruise. As a person living with a Gluten Free diet, she did have some concerns about food options. This was quickly alleviated when she found how accommodating the Staff were to her needs. The options in the Main Dining Room were superb and by ...

We had the Panama Canal on our bucket list. Since we sailed many times with Princess (Platinum members) we chose the Emerald Princess even tho it was an older updated ship. There were so many issues. Our room C604 was always warm. We talked to the desk and room attendant and while courteous and encouraging it remained warm for the whole 10 days. We paid for drink package but we’re told every day ...

We chose this cruise for our 35th anniversary 2 years ago. Covid had another vision. We were so relieved when they opened back up for cruising. All of the servers, room stewards, and the rest of the staff were so glad to be back cruising. I'm just not sure how they survived after not cruising for 22 months. I wanted to support them. Everything was so incredibly clean. The ports were very ...
