We chose this as an anniversary cruise as we got engaged in Bar Harbor and have not been back since.
We were quite concerned about Hurricane Lee but it ended up being of no consequence, we had calm seas and only rain in Boston, other wise perfect weather.
We arrived early at JFK and took a Lyft to the cruise port in Brooklyn ( It was about $ 65-70) Our plan was to dump our luggage and ...
This is a wonderful cruise if you want to see New England & Canada. Each port is unique, from small towns, to big cities, to a sailing / elite community.
Princess Emerald is similar to many other Princess cruise ships. Average food, decor, service, and activities. The focus of this cruise should be on the ports. There is only one day at sea (the last day when the ship return to NYC from ...
I was so excited to finally experience my first Princess cruise, on this Canada & New England sailing on the Emerald Princess 9th - 16th September 2023. I was just left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied for this experience.
I am a travel agent, I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years, I’m well travelled, well educated & have cruised many times with your far superior competitors.
I ...
We had FCC about to expire; therefore, chose to take this cruise. Our obstructed view cabin (category OV) was not obstructed at all. What a nice surprise!
The current crew is amazing and I give them 5-stars. We haven’t met one single crew member not trying to please passengers.
The ship is nearly full; therefore, it’s clear there are some staff shortages. I fault Princess corporate for ...
I was given a balcony cabin through the casino. I upgraded at booking to a mini suite and then through the move up offers, to a reserve class mini. The cabin was spacious with a nice bathroom. The shower was terrific and hot as was the sink ( NO cold water at all). No bar soap and I bring my own shampoo etc. Towels were in short supply. Our steward often waited for an hour in the hall until they ...
What started on an innocent sunny day in August turned out to be an adventure we will always remember. Despite being impacted by (2) Hurricanes, the fires in Maui, and multiple medical emergencies, the Princess Staff and Officers rallied to help us all make the best experiences possible. The weather to Hawaii was hot and sunny, which was really nice. The last minute decision to reroute to Kona ...
My wife and I have cruised to Hawaii four times but always in the fall or winter. We wanted to try a cruise to Hawaii in the summer. We booked a one-bedroom suite about a year before the cruise which was 16 night round-trip from Port of Los Angeles. We like round-trip from LA because it is about 45 minutes from our home. We have cruised Princess 11 times prior to this cruise and have always ...
Ship was very nice. Food was a little over the top to fancy at some restaurants like chilled soup or very small portions at some of the restaurant. That being said, there was some restaurants that were very good a few healthy portions. I thought the activities that they provided on board were OK but some of the late night dancing and parties should’ve been held a little earlier for some of the ...
We chose a Mexican Riviera cruise for a family event (10 people). Overall, it was pleasant but there were some bumps.
We had a Club Class Mini-Suite. The bed was very comfy and the room had plenty of storage. Everything is a bit dated, but it was spotlessly clean. Our room attendant was fantastic.
Reserve Collection dining was very nice on embarkation day (we had lunch there right after ...
3 1/2 stars: This is a very very very long review. You might be reading this in a panic thinking, what did I do...I booked the Emerald and everyone is leaving horrific reviews. So I thought I'd write a review that might help people make the most of their vacation if they are already locked in at the 90 day mark. OK. It's not THAT bad. I had a great time knowing some things ahead of time. I ...
