Our group of 18 had a wonderful vacation onboard the Emerald Princess.
Day 1: Embarkation was a breeze and we were all onboard by 12:15. I was immediately impressed by the understated elegance of the ship. I knew it was only a few years old (built in 2007)and it felt very clean and fresh. Our cabin was in the back of the ship and had a large balcony. It was also spotless and our Cabin Steward Nonito from the Phillipines introduced himself to us immediately to offer his services.
Dinner: Our entire group (except 2 people) were one 1st Dining. We were told we had to speak to the maitre d' in order to add them to our seating. He was very accommodating and moved us to a dining room with 3 tables for all 18 of us. The service at dinner (with Jovannie and Vincenzo) was amazing! They spoiled our little girls and treated us all very special. It was very sad to say goodbye to them at the end!
We had the Owner's suite (A753)..Great Room, Great View, large balcony, quiet location, Tiny closet and awkward space). Only 1 sink.
