Review summary

Was on the Emerald Princess in Dec21 for a Panama Canal cruise which was fun and exciting onboard. This Transatlantic everyone just seemed tired and wanted to get to England so they could finish their contracts and leave. Just a different vibe.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Could have done a better job scheduling rooms for events: i.e. Fusion room 200 seats for Bingo with 30 people, at the same time Trivia in Wheelhouse seats 50 and had over 100 trying to play. Never adjusted

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Saba violin duet Julia and Boris were Fantastic. Never got tired of listening to their performances.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Jason and James at Customer Service desk were great. Excursion desk also as great

Thanks for the review. It's a shame you went straight to London from Southampton as the south coast of England is stunning and great to explore.

I've had similar problems with events being scheduled in obviously wrongly suited venues. As I recall, that was also on Princess.
