Review summary

The staff on the Emerald is stellar. They were always so helpful. This was our first experience with the Valet Checked baggage on Disembarkation and to not have to see your luggage again until arrival of your final flight was so nice. We will sail Princess again if for no other the reason, the food. Every meal was the best!

Food and Dining

This is the best food we have gotten on any cruise line.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Our goal was to play card games with our friends and we had some difficulty finding a table warm enough to play at. We appreciated the one scheduled time for table and board games and most of the time at least during mid day with a jacket we could get back in a corner on the 15th floor and play.

Beautiful ship with lots of elevators, even though I rarely use them. Starting to need some paint in areas.

We live in beautiful Victoria BC and often walk down near cruise port on the breakwater to watch the cruise ships come in and dream about our next Princess cruise. Counting down 74 days now to next one on Emerald to Hawaii - can't wait!
