Review summary

Not what expected. I would have thought the food would have been better. The balcony was a big disappointment. This is my 3 rd. cruise and I don't believe I would go on one again. The shore excurions were rushed and just a lot of tours junk.

Sorry you didn't enjoy your cruise. I've been on the Emerald on e, and will.be on her again for Chris as & New Year's. I really liked her. But then we all have different tastes and expectations. Don't give up cruising over one ship!

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. Did you book excursions independently or through the ship? The independent excursions are usually cheaper, less crowded and last longer. As far as food, many lines seem to be cutting the quantity and quality of food to save money. With several thousand people to feed 3 times a day, 7 days a week, banquet quality food seems to be about the best that can be expected now.
