A great cruise and opportunity to spend time with my mother (80s) and sister. Excellent itinerary, and most everything about Princess cruise was 100%, probably one of the best itineraries I’ve been on. Did most excursions through Princess this trip and were all extremely good. Definitely want to return on a land based journey, a great introduction to these areas from the comfort of 1 room and a quality cruise company

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Quite different to the previous Princess ships we’d sailed on and struggled a nit to find our dining room as it could only be accessed from aft lifts. But once we mastered the layout thought it was excellent
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Mini suite aft. The bed on the pull out couch was ‘extremely ‘ uncomfortable but the twin beds were great. Not a bad mini suite but when the couch was set up as a bed it hampered accessibility to the balcony
Ship tip
There are saunas and steamroom in the male and female toilets near the spa and sun deck pool. Very few people seem to know about these but are available to all.
Took a disembark tour through Princess to Long Beach. Nothing really in the San Pedro area (was also there 4 weeks ago boarding a cruise). This tour took you to the main part of Long Beach near The Outlet stores and of course within a few 100 metres of Long Beach itself. You are there around 4 hours on this tour and bags are safely secured in the bus while awaiting transfer to LAX. The Outlet stores are great value with quality items and shops, Columbia, Nike, Maceys, Gap, Converse to name a few. Thete is also a gree local shuttle to take you around the Long Beach atea to the Queen Mary and other sites. We were so impressed by the Long Beach area that we returned here pre cruise a month ago and stayed in an amazing boutique hotel which provided free bikes and for 2 days we had a blast biking around Long Beach atea and shopping again at the Outlet of course
Valoariso wasn’t actually where the Emerald left from eventually it left from San Antonio port. However we were still lucky enough to visit Valpariso. We had stayed in Santiago 2 nights and arranged a very inexpensive transfer to San Antonio Port via Valpariso for the day , stopping at lots of places of interest but with most of the day in Valpariso. Wonderful twin towns and do go and visit the colourful wall art up overlooking Valpariso- well worth it. We organised this transfer from our Santiago hotel
Another ‘banger’ of a day this time in Nicaragua and another Princess excursion. Full and exciting day easily managed for guests. Plenty to do and more great local food and drink included. Amazing colourful people and buildings. Stunning out on the lake seeing all the privately owned islands and school with amazing backdrops . Quite a long journey from the port to Grenada on the Pan American highway but this was an incredible journey from the bus window seeing all the diversity of the area and a lot!! of pictues taken from the windows
Loved loved this day in Costa Rica. Such a great day on a Princess excursion. A real day for lovers of nature. Cruising on a river, lunch and a journey through a rainforest. Mum (87) managed this excursion easily. The whole day was a highlight. Excellent guide on the river cruise pointed out the different birds, even got to see the grandaddy crocodile
Another great Princess full day excursion seeing the highlights of Lima. This trip covered so much and gave you a really good feel for the city. Another huge lunch with copious amounts of local alcohol served. City tour, main sights, markets, churches, several museums, overlooking the beaches, saw people surfing and locals enjoying their city. Easily managed by my Mum then 87
Went on a Princess , very good day with lots of variety and things to see, drink and eat. Got to sample a lot of local alcohol as included . Huge lunch included, which Mum shared with some of the local friendly canines
What a cracker of a place. A small first glimpse at Mexico for the day on a Princess excursion into Puerto Vallarta. Tequila factory and stunning show, lots of Tequila sampling. Lunch included beside a gorgeous beach with banging latino music and friendly people - a day to remember and hopefully return to in depth.
