Answer QuestionA: We were just on Emerald Princess in May. For our 9-night cruise there were 2 “formal” nights, but for a longer one, I’m guessing there will be 3.
Answered by NeedToVacation on August 3, 2024
A: It looks like you are on a 12 day cruise on the Emerald this December (2024). You should have 2 formal nights based on the length of your cruise.

Q: The I itinerary to New England and Canada. Every map and itinerary says Bar Harbor Maine as a stop, but then shows Portland Maine as the escursion. As a cruiser, trust me, there’s a heck of a difference between stopping in Bar Harbor instead of Portland. Can we please fix this! Thank you!

A: July 28th cruise also has Portland Maine as a stop. The itinerary listing is correct. We booked this ship specifically since we don't like to tender!

A: Clarification , when I stated Emerald ocean view cabins being mostly obstructed, I was referring to the Emerald deck. Also if you select the explore tab, then ships, then Princess, then Emerald Princess and look at the photos you will find some pictu... res showing the side view of the ship. Enjoy.See More
Answered by bndfromaz on May 13, 2024
A: Emerald deck is directly inline with the tender/lifeboats. Most Emerald ocean views are obstructed but there are some windows between lifeboats that have a good view. Hope this helps. Enjoy, Emerald Princess is a great ship.

Answer Question
Q: Interested if anyone did the Transatlantic reset from Southampton to Ft. Lauderdale in 2023. If so would you recommend Sanctuary for the full cruise or is the weather too iffy so best to buy one day at a time? We generally do Sanctuary on the Princess ships but on the January Australia/New Zealand cruise the Sanctuary staff did not recommend that we purchase at all due to the cold weather with that particular cruise. Wondering if this cruise is similar?

Q: Does anyone know how many days before your cruise you can “ check in” and select a time to board? I cannot find it anywhere on their website and the Princess rep. I spoke to said I’m already checked in! That doesn’t show anywhere and I didn’t have a lot of confidence on the other answers he gave me to my questions. I don’t see how I could be checked in, the cruise is almost 4 months out. We’ve cruised many times, and we have never been able to check in that far out. Thank you in advance for any info you may have.

A: You can check in on your app as soon as your cruise is in their system. I was able to check into my Princess cruise for Jan. ‘24, before I was able to check into my Celebrity cruise in Nov. ‘23. We have always had our Medallions mailed to us, but i... t use to free, now they charge $10. This was the first time we had to pay for it & it hasn’t arrived. We cruise on Sunday & it isn’t going to make it, because we checked with the tracking & the post office. My lane status changed from green to blue, no fault of mine. 😏 Hope you have a wonderful cruise! 🛳️⚓️🐬🦥🌺🍹🦞💃🏖️🌴🛟🛳️See More

A: Princess has you complete the preliminary check-in through the app. If you are able to have your medallion shipped to you (USA and some parts of Canada), then you can finish all the way and be green-lined (all set to go). If you can't have the meda... llion shipped, or choose not to, once you enter all your info you will be blue-lined and pick up your medallion at the port. There are no specific check-in times anymore ... you just go. On my last 2 cruises (Nov and Dec) it was chaos with a late disembarkation for those coming home from their trip, mixed with those starting their vacation. Wish I had arrived later in the afternoon.See More
Answered by miabear4 on January 19, 2024
A: There are no specific times to check in anymore. I was told by Princess as long as u check in after 11:00 you’re ok. As long as u are checked in on the app and ready to go u are good to go. It shows up on the app that u are checked in and ready if u... completed all the steps.See More
Answered by SirBarre on January 19, 2024
A: If u completed all the steps on the app u should be checked in and ready to go. There is no check in times anymore. Check in at the port is anytime after 11:00
Answered by SirBarre on January 19, 2024
A: The 15 drink limit only applies to alcoholic beverages. It covers any drink on the menu up to either $14 or $18, depending on which package you purchased. It also includes an unlimited amount of soft drinks, mocktails, energy drinks, specially coffee... , and bottled water.See More
Answered by LisaKitty on October 28, 2023
A: I believe there is a thread on the site where you order the beverage package that explains in detail what is included
Answered by jbick65 on October 27, 2023
A: If you order doubles check with the bar staff if its OK and check your account the next day, if you get charged go to reception and they will put you right.
Answered by dengage on October 27, 2023
A: Cocktails, bottled water, juices, special coffee, mocktails, to name a few
Answered by debflip on October 26, 2023
A: Yes, it depends on how long your cruise is as to how many formal nights.
Answered by debflip on October 6, 2023
A: I'm guessing they will probably be your 2nd and 6th days of your cruise, but it will say in your daily events calendar you get each evening.
Answered by sunseekermama on October 8, 2023
A: your medallion should be tied to your cc.
Answered by Gwbigdog on September 28, 2023
A: Weird that it shows up as Bayonne! Thanks for correcting me.
Answered by kelskazoo22 on July 18, 2023
A: Princess never goes out of Bayonne. Royal Caribbean does.
Answered by getpoked on July 16, 2023
A: It shows on cruisemapper that it leaves Cape Liberty/Bayonne NJ.
Answered by kelskazoo22 on July 15, 2023
A: At max capacity it carries 3,080 guests based on double occupancy, but if you're taking it at a time of year when there will be lots of families aboard (and therefore many cabins at greater than double occupancy) it could easily exceed that number. B... ut that's true of any ship.See More

Answer Question
Q: We booked the Princess excursion from Le Havre to Paris. I think we will likely only have 4 1/2 hours in Paris, but our grandson really wants to go up the Eiffel Tower. I bought timed tickets for the tower but am wondering if we will actually have time to go up it. I would really appreciate if anyone could please give me any insight to whether it’s at all feasible to squeeze in a trip up the tower.

A: Every time we have been in Paris there have been very long lines for Eiffel Tower. I don't know if you will get in at your designated time. A bit of a risk if not an excursion run by the cruise line.
Answered by WhippetMum on June 16, 2022
A: I am afraid you wasted your money. Even with a time ticket, lines can be long from my experience.
Answered by RonnieandJim on June 14, 2022
A: Unless you book through the cruise company and guarantee getting back for sailaway you may get left behind!
Answered by dengage on June 14, 2022
Q: We arrive at Heathrow from Canada at 11:50 a.m. on June 25. I booked a bus to travel from the airport to Southampton. The bus leaves the airport at 2:30 p.m. Should that allow us enough time ( 2 1/2 hr.) to get off the plane, get our luggage, go through Customs and catch the bus to Southampton?

A: You need to change your flight to arrive the day before your cruise. You are tempting fate!
Answered by RonnieandJim on June 14, 2022
A: You might get lucky, we just did that trip and it was cutting it close. as others have said. the flight delays could make all the difference. and traffic on the M3. If you booked your transfer from princess you will be fine, they will get you to t... he ship.See More
Answered by BLiberty1953 on June 16, 2022
A: Should do so long as the flight isn't delayed.
