Great over all April–May, 29 day South Pacific cruise! We enjoyed every stop! Australia, New Zealand, Bora Bora and Thaiti were hot, people were very nice on the islands and the islands were breath taking.The Emerald Princess is a great ship. Its small but as an older traveler it was way big enough! I was not pleased with the Crown Grill on this one...I had a bad experience! Server truned over our wine we had ordered for our anniversary and covered up our table with napkins...then my sea food was cold and the server tried to convince me that they serve it that way so it will be tender...can you believe that! well that is not all it took us about three hours of our afternoon to get our dinner on the table and out of there! Emeralds Crown Grill I cannot recommend...Other than that everthing on the ship was good to excellent.
The cabin is a great location! The size of it was way to small! we could not walk normal on either side of the bed. We had trouble passing by each other anywhere in that room. Lots of noise from the cleaning of deck thats close to it and the motor must be somewhere close as you hear it too and really loud when it docks.
probaly would not do that room again because of the noise, movement, and the size.
I would advise to do a tour. we did not but we have been there a few times but lots to see from tour.
