We book this cruise every year. 3rd time on Princess. For us, no fly. Pleasant week . Great ports. For once, the weather cooperated. In past years we missed a port or two due to weather.
Embarkation was a breeze. We finally found a convenient way to access the Brooklyn cruise pier by using the water taxi from pier 11 at Wall St. It drops off at Red Hook across from the ship. Just ...
We booked this cruise because we thought it would be a good way to see some East Coast cities and hopefully see some fall colors.
We both felt that the food was good and had no complaints. One specific issue we had with the buffet was getting a table to sit at. This seems to be a problem with most of the cruises that we have been on lately.
Embarkation was in Brooklyn. It was raining and ...
I decided it was time to try another line after being disappointed on the last couple of cruises on NCL and RCCL. My DW had been on one Princess and other friends have been complimentary of the line in the past.
Overall I was very pleased with the cruise. Were there things that could be better- yes. There were more things that I liked than disliked and Princess will definitely be in the picture ...
I booked this cruise with two other couples I met on a previous cruise, and we wanted to get together again and decided on this one. Embarkation was very speedy being in the green lane. There was a long line for the blue lane. The food service was good onboard regarding lido deck dining such as Salty Dog or Slices. Dining room was always lengthy. The three times I went to the dining room, it was ...
I will start out with we are not hard to please. Fifteen cruises in, all different lines and our age probably has something to do with that.
Our cabin on Caribe deck and balcony were fine. Once the toilet didn't work and someone was there immediately to fix it.
Our cabin stew and all the crew were so very pleasant and helpful and they were all so very personable.
Our ports and time in ...
This is a wonderful cruise if you want to see New England & Canada. Each port is unique, from small towns, to big cities, to a sailing / elite community.
Princess Emerald is similar to many other Princess cruise ships. Average food, decor, service, and activities. The focus of this cruise should be on the ports. There is only one day at sea (the last day when the ship return to NYC from ...
We had FCC about to expire; therefore, chose to take this cruise. Our obstructed view cabin (category OV) was not obstructed at all. What a nice surprise!
The current crew is amazing and I give them 5-stars. We haven’t met one single crew member not trying to please passengers.
The ship is nearly full; therefore, it’s clear there are some staff shortages. I fault Princess corporate for ...
I was given a balcony cabin through the casino. I upgraded at booking to a mini suite and then through the move up offers, to a reserve class mini. The cabin was spacious with a nice bathroom. The shower was terrific and hot as was the sink ( NO cold water at all). No bar soap and I bring my own shampoo etc. Towels were in short supply. Our steward often waited for an hour in the hall until they ...
Wanted to replace an Alaska Cruise tour we had to cancel and thought this would be a good one. Overall, it was a good cruise; good ports, good crew, food was overall very good, bars were great, entertainment was so-so. We missed one port due to weather, but all the others were surprisingly good. I'm finding that the excursion descriptions are not doing a good job reflecting how nice some of them ...
Enchanted Nov 22 Review
Back home from the Nov 5-19 Enchanted from NY to Caribbean to Lauderdale:
So my assessment - I was very pleased with the cruise compared to our first post Covid in March 2022, which was a transatlantic on the REGAL. On the March Cruise, we missed three ports, had terrible Medallion service (received a refund) and the food was not Princess standard fare.
I would ...
