Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Princess Emerald Princess Cruise Reviews

Had been planning this cruise for a couple of years as a celebration for my retirement. This was our first Princess cruise because we had heard many good things about them and we were looking forward to something a bit more upscale than the fun ships but not a "premium" brand. First day our bags were never delivered to our cabin. I found them abandoned in the passageway about half of the ship ...

We have been loyal princess customers (don't insult us by calling is "guests"- we pay for the experience) for 25+ cruises. We chose this cruise for its itinerary and it being on the emerald, a ship on which prior cruises were top notch. This cruise deserves top notches only for the stateroom service and accomodations, embarkation, and debarkation services. We felt crowded everywhere. It was ...

This was our first Princess Cruise, a 14 day Circle the Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale in March, 2023. The Emerald Princess and crew were great. But Princess Cruises is so poor and irresponsible with their accounting we won't be sailing with Princess again. Just too risky and they have proven untrustworthy with out money even when they put things in writing. (Details below). The cruise itself ...

We like to escape the dreary Midwest Winter in March or April. Having had excellent experiences on the Emerld among our prior 30 Princess cruises, we chose this one because of the inclusion of Trinidad (first time) and previously enjoyed Caribbean ports. Great Delta flights between home and FLL was another attraction. First the praises for our mini-suite cabin; maintenance was excellent. Only ...

This was a trip for a family group of nine, brothers and sisters and partners in 50's / 60's. Previously, we have sailed with both P&O and more with Celebrity. All past experience was pre-covid. Generally, we enjoyed the trip, which isn't exactly surprising as it's no hardship being on a cruise around the Caribbean. However, this, our first experience of Princess, left a little to be ...

I've sailed Emerald Princess in 2019 on a Mediterranean cruise, and 5 other cruises. Agree with PP, the portions are smaller, but I prefer the smaller size, but there is noticeable cost cutting going on in the kitchen. There were 2 surf and turf nights, since one night was Valentine's day. Numerous people on board told us the Crown Grill and Sabatini's were not worth the cost, so we canceled our ...

Our review is based solely on our personal observation on this 15 day cruise. For us, never again will we take that long of a cruise. The main reason is that the guests are generally seniors,, We are 65 and 68 and we found most people considerably older than us and many have never heard the word restraint when using perfumes and other scented products. By day 10 my allergies were through ...

The service was wonderful. The amount of quests was very low so we had a lot of crew members and not many quests. I liked some of the advantages of the Medallion class service.. They encourage you to order from your medallion but if you order a drink from you medallion it comes from room service and not one of the waiters for the bar. You may never get it. Room service ordering was great if ...

I choose this cruise as I had always wanted to see the Panama Canal, it was a great experience. The Emerald Princess is not a new ship but it is well maintained. The ship was recently in drydock and some cosmetic improvements were noticeable, particularly new carpets in the hallways and in some cabins. Work was on going during this cruise but did interfere with the cruise experience. 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 ...
