"The bus trip which cost 78 per person lasted 2 1/2 hours, we drove one way around town, stopped got off the bus was forced to go into a store run through Princess then walked to a church, then had a snack, then again walked through another store run by Princess then boarded the bus.Anyway I was not pleased generally with Princess, the food was okay, just okay, you get the same at all inclusive resorts without being forced into buying stuff daily like on board the Princess ship...."Read More
Recently, my wife and I took the October 28 sailing to Canada and New England on EMERALD PRINCESS. Overall, it was a very nice, relaxing trip. Here’s the skinny:
Embarkation in Brooklyn.
We entered the Brooklyn cruise terminal at 12:28 in the afternoon, and because we had the “Green Lane” we stepped on board the ship 12 minutes later at 12:40. Without doubt, this was the easiest and quickest ...
I chose this sailing because it was a new cruise line and I didn't pay full price for the sailing.
I had researched this ship and Princess throughly before booking and sailing. I knew what I was getting into because the ship is pretty old. The colors and furnishings are dated. With that said, everything was clean and the outside of the ship looked nice.
Princess is in the same class as ...
This was my first cruise on princess.
Took a mini suite which was nice but the boat gave me a room all the way in the front of the boat and on tender days it felt and sounded like the anchor was in my room.
I personally didn't like the daytime activities on the boat. Didn't seem like there was much to do.
Purchased the premier plus package which was good and worth the money if you like ...
We loved the crew. Everyone was very helpful and very pleasant. The ship was average but it does need some work. Very limited outlets in the rooms. Our bathroom stunk from floor drains that are never cleaned. These should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. We had to keep the bathroom door closed so we could sleep at night and it wasn’t odor from human waste. The sill on our sliding door to the ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary. I love going to New England and Canada, and I liked that we would be in port every day except the last day. I live close to Brooklyn and my friend lives in Brooklyn, so I suggested we go on this cruise together. She has cruised on Princess before and I haven't, and she told me I'd be in for a treat. Well, not so much in this case.
Embarkation in Brooklyn ...
I was so excited to finally experience my first Princess cruise, on this Canada & New England sailing on the Emerald Princess 9th - 16th September 2023. I was just left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied for this experience.
I am a travel agent, I’ve been in the industry for almost 20 years, I’m well travelled, well educated & have cruised many times with your far superior competitors.

We chose a Mexican Riviera cruise for a family event (10 people). Overall, it was pleasant but there were some bumps.
We had a Club Class Mini-Suite. The bed was very comfy and the room had plenty of storage. Everything is a bit dated, but it was spotlessly clean. Our room attendant was fantastic.
Reserve Collection dining was very nice on embarkation day (we had lunch there right after ...
3 1/2 stars: This is a very very very long review. You might be reading this in a panic thinking, what did I do...I booked the Emerald and everyone is leaving horrific reviews. So I thought I'd write a review that might help people make the most of their vacation if they are already locked in at the 90 day mark. OK. It's not THAT bad. I had a great time knowing some things ahead of time. I ...
I'm writing this review of my (very first non-Carnival!) cruise aboard the Emerald Princess. This was a 5 day cruise with 2 days (an overnight) in Cabo from 5/27/23 to 6/2/23.
I will preface this review by confessing that I am a regular cruiser on Carnival; I am not bougie and didn't really have any high expectations for this trip, although I've heard, of course, that Princess is classier and ...
I go solo, and expect just value for money.
