Emerald Princess Review

Additional details
Originally my wife and I were to be married on the Crown Princess on the 3/1/09 sailing, but some post-surgery complications caused us to cancel just two days shy of the sail date. The rest of our wedding party (ten people) sailed without the bride and groom.
With the health issues behind us, we rescheduled for the 10/11/09 sailing on the Emerald Princess (same itinerary as the Crown Princess from the spring). This time, my wife's parents and my father joined us for a party of five.
We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale Saturday 10/10 in the evening and went to our hotel (Comfort Inn Airport/Cruise Port South, 2520 Stirling Rd., Hollywood, FL). No complaints on the hotel, although we were only there for 12 hours or so! Room was clean and quiet. The hotel seemed as though it had a nice pool area, although we didn't use it on this visit.
Cabin Review
Dolphin 424 is located just off the midship elevators. Despite its location, the cabin was very quiet. As it is a mini-suite, the balcony is fully exposed (not covered by the next deck as with most of the balcony cabins. This is a Category AA cabin on Emerald Princess.
This room was clean and didn't show any signs of wear with the exception of a few light luggage marks on the walls near the door. Otherwise, a fantastic cabin experience for us.
