This was a Make-Up cruise of a missed May Cruise from LA to Vancouver in May due to illness.
It was also our 15th cruise as the next 4 are longer; 23 days, 15 days, 18 days, and 7 + 7 day CruiseTour to Alaska for the 7th time.
This was our first Emerald cruise, and CROONERS is on the wrong side of the ship. Very Good staff, known from other ships, but the bar is small (7 seats) conpared to several other Crooners Bars.
We always use a Balcony for a Cruise of 10 days or less; Mini-Suite over that. This Balcony was expected and fine. Our Steward (Enrico) was outstanding. Mid-Aft is close to everything except the fitness center. However I was able to stretch out my legs walking to the gym daily and it worked well for me.
