A couple of friends rave about Princess but my wife and I weren't impressed.
The best thing that Princess does is their embarkation and disembarkation. Very smooth and orderly.
The food, service, entertainment and activities were all mediocre. Service was so-so unless you were an Elite Member. At dinner, the waiters, although pleasant, fawned over the couple next to us while we were ...
This was our first Princess Cruise. We have sailed on 17 previous cruises with other cruise lines. We chose this cruise to sale with six of our friends and the price was good. The ship was old but still in good shape. The cabin was okay, but missing normal items like pens, writing paper, an umbrella and binoculars to use, etc. Our Cabin Stewart, Tina, was wonderful. Friendly, efficient, ...
Having just completed a New Year trip from hell on P&O Azura along with 2,000 drunk brits we hoped we would that it would not be emulated by noisy drunk Americans and it wasn't.
From the start our fellow passengers were polite well mannered charming people from all over the USA enough to make me feel ashamed to be British.
Everything on the Emerald was right including an eclectic and ...
We chose this cruise based on the timing that we wanted. It was a great cruise. The only thing I would say is that electrical outlets by bed are needed for cpap users. The best tension cords had to stretch entire part of room. We had a great cabin steward that brought us extension cords and talked them down to floor.
The entertainment was great. We loved the second comedian and the billy ...

Nice relaxing way to Hawaii. 10 sea days, may not be for everyone, but very relaxing. Just fantastic enrichment activities with Lecturer Sharon, on the volcanic, flora, whales, etc. Tiki Dave and his wife were amazing. played and Ukelele classes (ship has some , but may need to bring one. his wife did Hula lessons and Lei making. Final night, an incredible Uk and Hula show from fellow cruisers. ...
We wanted a longer cruise, as we love the days on the water. The ship was lovely, especially enjoy the atrium, Music was offered several times a day in several areas, we enjoyed it in the atrium especially. The International Café on deck 5 is a true plus for Princess line. You can get choices of Panani sandwiches and desert offered 24/7.
The days at sea offer many options for your pleasure. ...

Hi cruisin twosome seniors, thanks for your feedback from your recent Emerald Princess cruise! We're glad you had a wonderful cruise exploring Hawaii on land and sea!...
This was my first time on a Princess Cruise. Last year, my fiancé and I went on a Carnival Cruise to Mexico and we had an amazing time. We absolutely loved it, from the food to the service to the entertainment. The staff was phenomenal. So our expectations for the Princess Emerald were pretty high. We had a lot of pros and cons in regards to the onboard experience.
First, the positives. The ...
The destination was awecome. We loved Hawaii!
But, the food on The Emerals Princess was very disappointing. It was never hot on the Horizon buffet. The omlets were jujst not good, somehow and the selection limited, at least for my taste. The quality of the beef in the dining room was inferior to previous cruises. Somehow, we just never cared for the offerings in the dining foom which is unusual ...
We chose this cruise for its ports of call. The food on this cruise was very good as was the entertainment. The ship was clean and majority of crew members were very nice. Our cabin steward brought us our requested ice each day. He was able to straighten our cabin early when we went to breakfast and dinner.
The cabin was very small compared to what we have experienced on other similar cruise ...
