This was a great cruise, with fascinating ports. And a good season to travel, good weather. The service was top notch, best cabin steward and waiters. Really no complaints except for front desk people who were a bit rude. We tried the Share restaurant and it was fine, something new and tasty. entertainment was fine, except for too loud in the theatre and piazza. I don't like to be deafened. ...
We did a 40 day 3 back to back cruises from Rome To Los Angeles. The regular Rome to Barcelona, Reposition Barcelona to Ft Lauderdale, then Panama Canal Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles. We did a Princess excursion at each stop. Overall weather was perfect, we did have rain in Greece, and a stop in France was cancelled due to winds and rain, but overall given the time of year we were very lucky! The ...
My sisters and I chose this cruise because of the itinerary and length of time to enjoy together. The ship was amazing and staff were incredibly kind and personable. We loved the entertainment, especially Kory Simon the piano man and the shows. Meals were sensational and a speciality meal in the Crown Grill surpasses our expectations. The scenery of the countries we visited and history of Europe ...
This was our third cruise with Princess Cruise Lines. The three-week itinerary of the Emerald Princess met our requirements as we wanted to visit multiple ports in the Mediterranean. We booked our daily excursions through the ship's website (online, prior to leaving home) and were very happy with each of our selections. The tour guides were knowledgeable and proficient in the English language. ...
The port was a busy mess but after reading some reviews prior to travel, we were prepared for that and tried to keep calm and safe throughout the process. The cabin itself was like a nice hotel room and we really enjoyed that sea view. Some of the fellow travelers were saying the staff was not good enough but me and my husband did not find any fault on them during the whole cruise. Dining was ...
After 8 days traveling through Venice, Florence, and Rome on our own, we were glad to embark on Emerald Princess and let them guide us to an excellent 2nd half of our vacation.
The transfer from Rome airport was very easy. We even got a bit of another guided tour as the transfer bus took us back through Rome for a tour of the city before heading off to Civitavecchia. We arrived around 12:00 ...
We are an active family of 4: late 40's early 50's with teen girls 17 and 14. This was the 2nd cruise for my husband and I but the first for the girls.
PRE-CRUISE: We arrived in Rome 4 days before embarkment and stayed at a B&B, Suites del popolo de Piazza near the Popolo del Piazza area. This was an awesome place with very reasonable rates. Owners, 2 brothers Marco and Marco were very attentive ...

Emerald Princess - Eastern Med/Greek Isle Cruise - September 2, 2007 Rome to Venice
The following review is about our experiences with airlines, airports, hotels (pre and post cruise), private tours and independent touring. We enjoyed meeting everyone on the roll call and sharing tours with them. For each of the private tours I arranged, I emailed to each participant who was sharing a particular ...
We just returned from 12 wonderful days on the Emerald Princess cruising the Mediterranean and Greek isles so I thought I would provide a few comments about this new ship. We thoroughly enjoyed the Emerald Princess which is the same as the Crown Princess. These two new ships are much nicer than the other Grand Class Princess ships. The public areas are decorated in soft colors and are easily ...
