We had a very relaing and enjoyble cruise this month on the Emerald. The staff in all categories were great.
The cabin location on the AFT was not ideal, because of the vibrations and the noises....great view from the back, and the balconies are large, but you give up the quiet sailing in that area..unfortunatley.
They need new matresses and linens are not great...especially the towels..yikes....not great at all.
