Emerald Princess Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The cruise, staff and ship were great. This was our first cruise since November 2019 and it was nice to be back.

The cruise for the most part was exceptional. The crew were phenomenal and really looked after everyone with thorough disinfecting of the entire ship. At no time did anyone feel sick or worried as Princess really put cleanliness and safety above everything else. Except for two very lousy excursions, the whole trip was very good and we definitely book again.

A bucket list cruise 2 ports were canceled due to covid

This is a cruise everyone should experience at least once. Weather was perfect. The ship was less than half full. Be sure to get out on deck early to watch the ship go through the locks.

On board it seemed like a dialed back version of cruising compared to pre pandemic days. Because the ship was half full it felt like we were the only ones on board at times. The ports were great and crew was awesome though! Would do it again and it was just what the doctor ordered 😊

I felt perfectly safe with all the Covid restrictions in place.

Knew that sailing would have some problems restarting. Hopeful that princess will iron out some of the problems.

Panama Canal new locks was a new experience. Jamaica.I finally got there.

My favorite thing on this cruise was the gret food

Nice cruise with a low number of passengers. I prefer a lively ship. Very few even showed up for the sail away event. The entertainment was excellent. The meals just OK. The speciality dining was very good (one evening). All in all…a very quiet cruise…too quiet. I’m old but I hate being reminded of that with walkers and canes! I like a fun ship!!!

We were impressed with how carefully Princess has redesigned the cruising experience to ensure that it is safe, relaxing and fun.

We really enjoyed the cruise and the Panama Canal transit. The sad part of the adventure was the announcement that Princess was temporarily ceasing operations due to the pandemic. The last few days at sea, following the cancellation of our call at Cartagena, were quite stressful. There were concerns over whether we might be quarantined or get a flight home. Princess and the ships crew did a fantastic job of keeping us advised and happy. In the end we made it home with great memories. We do however wonder how the crew are now getting on now the vessels have been effectively laid up.

The cruise was with family--my parents, two sisters with their husbands and cousin with her husband. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute!

We had a wonderful 28 day cruise. You can do and be as busy as you want to be or simply do nothing. Either is fine but we choose to be more low key and do our own thing anyway. Entertainment on board was so so. The production shows were amazing. The comedians were great but not enough in our mind. The music around the ship was pretty much the same type at the various venues except for the duo Char and Philly and the band Atomic. The others were not our taste but other passengers seemed to enjoy it. To each his own. We had an excellent cruise from embarkation to disembarkation and would highly recommend the Emerald and this itinerary in a heartbeat.

This is a great trip if you have the time and like days at sea. (We love sea days!) This was our first Princess cruise and we weren't that impressed when comparing Princess to other cruise lines we have used. The food is good but not fantastic--the buffet was definitely sub-par. We met many other cruisers who wouldn't think of using a cruiseline other than Princess. The Emerald is quite large (3,000+ passengers) but to Princess' credit, it didn't seem crowded. We were lucky to have taken our cruise at the time we did because no ships are cruising now (COVID-19)

Nice ship, great ports of call. Good service with very friendly wait staff. This was the second time we did this same cruise on the Emeral Princess.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us. We enjoyed everything. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t visit Samoa but we got a bonus trip the the big island of Hawaii which we hadn’t been to. Also we got a extra day at Bora Bora which is a pretty nice place to spend a extra day at.

Amazing itinerary...amazing ship and crew... really obnoxious passengers on this run.

Very good & great weather hot hot hot Panama Canal was amazing, very impressive

Ports of call were good but the ship experience was very poor, likely my last Princess Cruise. Going back to Royal Caribbean.
