This was our first Princess cruise, we have done many cruises on other lines. We were really looking forward to trying a new cruise line but unfortunately we were very disappointed and would not sail with Princess again.
The ship was nice, the same layout as P&O Azura and Ventura which we have sailed on before. The crew were good, friendly and helpful.
The food was really awful, we ...
Cruised with Princess for the first time and doubt I would go with them again. Emerald is a large ship with plenty of things to do and places to eat, drink or just sit and relax, generally the ship was clean and tidy. The cabin was okay although not cleaned very well, there were stains on the cupboard doors, dust on the light switches, a broken mirror, the same crumbs on the table all week long, ...
Very disappointed the entertainment was very poor nothing like the tv show the cruise only had 2 short shows with the dancers and couldn't believe that there was no show on last night just a film the food wasn't very hot and the queue to get food but you had to wait most of the time to find a table even in the waiter service restaurants you had to queue to get in also the organisation to get us on ...
Two words to describe it, below expectations. Our cabin steward was very efficient with what he could be in control of but we never got bathrobes! He can't supply what he does not have. It took two days to get pre-bought water two days for soda cups and nvere did get coffee card cups. We had as per norm deluxe balconey and we saw spring breakers from inside cabins walking all around the ship even ...
The title says it all. Lots of Spring Breakers doing some serious drinking--boys and girls. Glad no one went over board. It was one big party for them......ill leave it there.
Our state room (Riveria deck) never got cool, always felt stuffy. Cabin steward did great job. Many workers seemed overwhelmed by the number of Spring Breakers and just let things go.
My problem was with over ...
Traveled on the Emerald from Jan 30th-Feb 6th of 2016. This was our 4th Cruise with Princess and don't think we will sail with them again!! Menu was the same thing night after night with some sort of FISH fixed 50 different ways. Main dining which should be special took for ever to get our food but after the 3rd night there was nothing to look forward to. Starters were always shrimp, only one ...
I am Elite on Princess and this was without a doubt my least favorite cruise. I am usually very understanding and forgiving but this cruise caused me to wonder if I really want to continue with Princess.
Embarkation: We were traveling with a sight impaired person and embarkation was awful! Had to sit and wait in line for wheelchairs and there were only 2 available. After 1-1/2 hours, I ...
I just returned from my 5 night cruise on the Emerald Princess. My wife and I have been on almost every cruise line with destinations all over the world and were very disappointed with Princess and their inexcusable decision to allow this ship to sail with all the problems that they had on board. This was not our first cruise with Princess so we decided to book this vacation because of their ...
I have been sailing with Princess since the 90s and I must say they are slipping down the slope quickly. As others pointed out, the Emerald Princess should not have left dry dock. I don't believe the ship was ready and I too question the logistics and scheduling decisions made by those in charge of it. One crew member told me they went over budget by $5 million and spent a total of $19 million. ...
Having sailed with Princess before this cruise was disappointing.
First steward I was assigned to needed to pay more attention on how he cleaned the cabin. 2nd steward assigned to my section for the last 3 days of the cruise was decent.
The food and entertainment repeated itself on the 2nd half of the cruise which was disappointing and left certain evenings with not much to do since the ...
