Get to the theater early. Seats tend to fill up fast!

Book a short cruise. Ship is kinda boring so not ideal for l9ng cruises

Be prepared for forced buffet for breakfast and lunch.

Get the medallion ahead of time. Princess Plus is also worth it.

The border control process is a nightmare! We lost 6 hours of port time waiting to go through the process. The border protection officer said Princess could pay for facial recognition, but chose not too. If you want to get off the ship early, buy a ship excursion, they get priority. We were still waiting at 2:30 to go through immigration and the excursions were already coming back. Princess needs to warn people this could happen! Now this horrible experience and process will be all we remember about our Emerald Princess cruise.

Get the premiere package. It was worth it

Limited outlets in cabins. We always take a temporary power trap so we can charge all our devices.

Load your fridge with free drinks at end of the day. Anticipate a queue when you go for dinner, even if have a reservation. Book your dinner times before you leave. Ask a waiter in person rather than use the app, it’s quicker. Learn the name of your deck, you will be asked for your cabin number and the amount of times I said R and they thought I said A etc.

formal nites so over rated!

Book more specialty restaurants. Expect main dining rooms to take 2 hours to eat.

Take salt and seasoning for the food

It is an amazing ship with an amazing cruise director. However, bypass the salty dog gastropub. The drinks on this cruise were the best we have ever had as well as the food in the main dining room. This was our first Princess cruise and we were really happy with it overall. Would definitely book Princess again.

3 main elevator shafts, don't waste your time with the middle one it has the most but only a few ever seem to be running. Take the stairs or the fore or aft elevators.

Dont bother with the Thermal Spa on this ship.. It is one of our favorite places on the newer ship but on the Emerald it's not worth doing

I cannot recommend this ship or cruiseline.

Cancel your booking and choose another Cruise line. EVERYTHING is extra on Princess unless you spend $600 per person. The package includes Wi-Fi and drinks. Ala carte drinks are $13.00 each. We waited till we were on or near a port to use our cell phones. We bought six drinks on board and drank tap water. We refused to pay for bottled water or soft drinks which are NOT free

Just relax and enjoy

Book your dining before you get on the ship! Earlier the better to get what you want.

Take the stairs as often as possible.
