Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Emerald Princess

My wife and I recently returned from a short Princess cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale. Unfortunately, this was the most unenjoyable experience that we have had while cruising with Princess, or any other line. Our disappointment started when we entered our cabin. We had never experienced a cabin with bunks on the walls. We elected to have Princess select our cabin. It was not a good fit for an older ...

First cruise with Princess after using many, many other lines. Getting on wasn't bad, but getting off was a long, waiting nightmare. Theoretically there are people who will clear away unused deck chairs, but in four/five days we never ONCE got to sit on the deck: people would come up at dawn and throw a towel across a couple chairs and then never return. There is apparently a very loose ...

Really Disappointing

We survived the cruise despite numerous plumbing and air conditioning problems, both in the staterooms and public areas. The captain delayed our leaving port for several hours because of a problem with potable water (according to his public address). Conditions went downhill from there. Passengers complained about non-working toilets or overflowing toilets; lack of hot water for some; lack of ...

Huge Plumbing Problems; 5 Day Cruise

Of all the cruise lines we’ve sailed on, we LOVE Princess the most. We’ve sailed with Princess 15 times, and this was our 3rd cruise on the Emerald Princess. Unfortunately, this cruise was nothing like we’ve ever experienced before because it has serious plumbing issues. We didn’t have hot water in neither the shower nor sink for a day and a half. Each time we ran the cold water it would run ...

Emerald Princess - Very limited entertainment for a younger crowd (we had fun twice, maybe), younger being in mid 40's and younger. We've gone on cruises before where the entertainment was phenomenal for all ages and lasted past 10:30pm. The services with the ships crew were off, off being their state of mind is not into serving guests as the other cruises we have been on. There were several of us ...

Worst Cruise Ever

We travel a lot . My husband and I were in a full suite, deck 15. We treated our 5 y/o grandson and son. They were in a cabin a few doors down from us. Our suite was lovely until the first morning. We woke up to thumping, lights shaking, tv shaking. Horrible! Low & behold, we were directly under the treadmills. I was told we were under the spa and when you look at the ship staterooms online it ...

I am resubmitting this as I am unable to find my original review. My husband and I took his son and our 5 year old grandson on the Emerald Princess for their Eastern Carribean New Year's Eve cruise. My husband and I have been on numerous cruises all over the world and many different lines. We ALWAYS book full suites/penthouses. We booked L107 Lido Deck for us and a second cabin nearby for the ...

We returned from our cruise on April 7, 2011. If and when we choose to take another cruise, we will not be choosing Princess Cruise Lines. The negatives: The food in the dining rooms was mediore at best. Same food as at the buffet but you got to have a waiter serve it to you. One dinner was even sub-par. Wine was terribly overpriced. Elected to try their specialty restaurant Sabatini's. ...

Boarding was fine - the staff was readily available and helpful. We got 2 cabins so our two kids would have more room. Our cabin steward, Elvina, was terrible. She seemed bothered whenever we asked her anything and did not do a good job cleaning up our cabins. When my daughter had breakfast in bed, I found bread crumbs still on her sheets in the evening - Elvina did not even bother making the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

On our cruise July 25th, 2010 on the Emerald Princess from Fort Lauderdale we had a TOTAL power failure for 5 or 6 hours the first night out. After that, well, things just got worse. Oh, and I had made a 7:30 appointment to have my very first acupuncture treatment ever that night. I went through with it, but imagine this; I'm lying there on the treatment table with pins stuck in me and NO LIGHTS ...
