I realize we are spoiled by cruising on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian. But there are still certainly things about this cruise line that could be improved. At least what is possible. Maybe this is just an old ship.

Very disjointed and we didnt get on the ship until shortly before sailing.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Rooms were fine, but food left much to be desired. Seemed like they had the same dishes every night. Main dish always had sauce on it. We asked for escargot and were told we couldn't have it.

How embarrassing for this cruise line. People left at the beginning and middle of shows. Would have been better to have a high school play or performance.
Children's Programs
no children with us.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Our room steward was sociable and cared for the cabin sufficiently. The waiters for our table were very good.

Sorry but I cant remember our cabin number. It was a balcony on the Riviera deck. Very disappointing that there was no couch to sit on. Just one small chair and a small desk.
Ship tip
Choose another cruise line or at least another ship.
I was on this cruise with you and we did the volcano tour, too. I enjoyed that excursion the most. This was my first time using Princess, and I get what you’re saying. The ship activities were a bit tame for me, but I did get a lot of reading in.
We got off the Emerald as you got on , having just done this cruise from the other direction. Were as late getting off as you were getting on. Totally a customs issue and not Princess. We had a great time. Meet great people. Had good food. The escargot was not o the menu but all we did was ask. As for the destinations... Panama is poor Nicaragua is in political turmoil, and I thought Huatulca was beautiful. Sorry you didn't enjoy. We had a fantastic Holiday cruise.
We did a cruise on the Emerald Princess around New Zealand a couple of years ago. The ship had a lot of Asians aboard and were sleeping in the lounges during the day taking up space with pillows and blankets. Would not cruise with them again. Going back to Royal Caribbean Line. Cheers.
