Princess Emerald Princess Cruise Reviews for Senior to the Mexican Riviera

The food and service was wonderful. Panana Canal was the Panana Canal. Cartegena was lovely as was Huatulco. Punteranus not so nice. 2 things ruined this cruise for us. 3 of us got COVID 19 around day 4 or 5. There was no screening and no masking at all. What made it worse was that everything was overcrowded. Hard to get a table at the buffet. Hard to get a seat in the theater. Everyting was ...

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 third Princess cruise, and this boat should not have 4.5/5 stars. It’s really worn with marked up and beat up furniture, musty hallway carpet, and rusted railings. We had a mini suite and I felt transported to season 10 of the original Love Boat—in the 80s. The crew wasn’t as friendly as previous voyages, they all seemed exhausted. Many of the services I liked on previous ships ...

This is my third Princess cruise, second with the medallion app. Last October on the Discovery we thought we were just having bad luck with their technology, but its failure this time around can’t be a coincidence. Trying to upload documents before the cruise was a joke, and it took sitting on hold for TWO HOURS to speak to a live human being to resolve it. We finally got that taken care of, and ...

This was my first cruise to Hawaii and the longest cruise I have been on. The ship was beautiful, the rooms spacious and comfortable. Some don’t care for the medallion, but I find it so convenient, you have your arms full and approach your door, it unlocks, it does everything and more than the card does. The entertainment was sadly lacking both in variety and what they offered. They had only ...

Let me say that this was not what I expected after all the money I spent to have a relaxing time. First, let me say that there should be a disclaimer to let people know that this line caters to senior citizens. I’m not knocking the elderly at all but less then 5% of the guest on this ship was under 50 years of age. For me and my opinion it was a nursing home at sea. Let me put it this way, the ...

I have always wanted to see the Islands, my daughter passed in December and her heritage is fraternal side is Hawaiian. The cruise started off at LA port we were with the wheelchairs as my sister has had 2 back surgery's and Knee replacement also can not feel her legs so anytime up slants is dangerous for her. While waiting were informed most people didn't need this help only used to get at front ...

If you are considering Princess, I would seriously urge you to reconsider. Since Covid their standards have dropped, smaller meals, cheaper ingredients in meals etc. - probably industry-wide. However other practices amount to scams. My wife and I have sailed Princess for over 20 cruises and are classed Elite with many benefits. Due to their loyalty program we have remained with them, but not ...

I know will all that is going on in the world today there is much that is changed. However, we pay the same and get shortchanged... We were tested 4 times, still had to wear masks, fine, I get it. Ship was at less than 50%, sadly this also meant you got 50% of the service. Some staff went above and beyond, other areas of the ship were very lacking in service. Large dining area on floor 15 ...

Well, let's see, where to start. We had tremendous problems with the Princess Medallion App, which is the only way to check in. Somehow my wife end up with two different profiles (I called them "good wife" and "bad wife") When I added her to my app, I now had 2 different traveling companions. Despite numerous calls to customer support, for several weeks no one was able to fix the problem. One can ...
