First Time and Not Very Impressed

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Emerald Princess

We chose this ship because of the itinerary. It was our first time on a Princess Cruise. The ship interior was very nice and in great shape. The outside looked pretty bad. Lots of rust and dents. The boarding was chaotic. Very disorganized. But once onboard it was just OK. The food really needs to be improved. We ate at the two specialty dining rooms and never felt the need to go back. The ...

2 hour wait to board ship at Southampton. As soon as onboard informed our cabin had to be deep cleaned and not ready. Medallion app hopeless as was Medallion, otherwise known as my electronic tag and reduces you to a non person. 2 tenders broke down within 6 days and Princess need to be reminded these are Lifeboats as well as water taxis and as such should be cleaned regularly and certainly better ...

GOOD TO BE CRUISING AGAIN

After a gap of 2 years it was good to be back cruising on the Emerald Princess again. We did not encounter any Covid problems ourselves but believe there had been some on deck 12 that delayed our embarkation by nearly 2 hours. Having to wear a mask was a nuisance but necessary. The crew all seemed happy to be back and service was good. The inevitable cut-backs were noticeable and too numerous ...

My friend and I have taken a few cruises over the last ten years, mainly with P&O and one with Celebrity. As price is one of the main feature's of us choosing a cruise ( we are both pensioner's and not in the same class of cruiser's who seem to have unlimited pension packages, we have to save up for all of our holiday's, one per year), so this time, because P&O have instigated high cost's with ...

Having already cruised with Princess pre-Covid we felt confident that they would provide the same excellent service. Sadly we disembarked feeling very disappointed. Embarkation was a nightmare although apparently not the fault of Princess. We were kept in a holding car park for an hour and a half. Once onboard the deluxe balcony cabin was wonderful with the most comfortable bed I have ever ...

Cruise was booked some monthe ago, 48 hours after booking price was dramatically reduced, after arguing upgraded from balcony to mini suite. Unaware that ship had Covid onboard and had been refused entry to port on Virgin Islands as designated orange category by CDC. We eventually boarded at 1230 arrived Southampton at 1030, cases arrived to cabin at 1745. Medallion App did not work whole time ...

Post Covid cruise for us but ….

We had spent Xmas 2021 and New Year isolating after both having Covid so were looking forward to an Easter holiday to make up for our cancelled Christmas. We were fully vaccinated, had certificates of recovery and negative test results so posed very little risk of contracting and spreading Covid at the time of the cruise. Mask wearing was “recommended” but not compulsory so we decided to ...

This cruise sadly did not start well. We always drive down and use CPS. Booked time slot on medallion app,11am to 11.30. When we got to port the queue was miles long with one lane open. While we queues D the second lane opened up also. This then created a bottle neck as to enter the terminal you filter back to one lane. It took and hour and half. CPs said everyone was given the same arrival ...

This was our first cruise for 2 years: Before the Covid pandemic we were regular cruisers with Princess. We liked many things about the Princess experience but I think that this cruise failed to live up to our expectations. Firstly the dislikes. Departure was chaotic and last minute info about Covid LF test requirements and changes in embarkation times were confusing. The Medallion app, ...

This is my very last transatlantic I will ever take this early in the year. I was on 2 previous crossings that started 4-6 weeks later and both times was much happier with the weather. Going in March is way too early. The seas were rough. Several cruise passengers were seasick. Luckily my spouse and I were never sick. However, we rented a lounge in the Sanctuary for discounted full trip ...
