great
Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise, great value for money.
Thought the Medallion App was a great innovation. The food was better than okay, but not exactly outstanding. Service was good, but booking main dining rooms before travel was a waste of time, because the bookings were just ignored. The entertainment was cheesy and the Cruise Director was too Ted Bovis from Hi-De-Hi! The cabin was spacious and loved the walk-in wardrobe. Decent balconies onboard.
The staff were lovely and friendly a bit disappointed that they had to wear masks.
Ship itself, very clean and tidy but showing it's age decor wise, and some equipment facilities need replacing. Food good but not the usuaul variety we've come to expect from Princess. Theatre shows although good not upto pre-pandemic standards. Some of the Acts were weak ( esp comedians- perhaps being American the humour didn't transfer well to the Uk members of the audience. esp the one lauded as the No 1 Princess Act!) Ripoff transfer shuttles were dearer than private Taxis, Itinerary in the main good
Great cruise
A fabulous ship, beautiful sunny weather, amazing scenery, close encounters with all kinds of wildlife, the northern lights on our way into Ketchikan - Alaska was everything we had hoped for and more. Interesting ports of call coupled with the scenic cruising through Tracy Arm fjord to view the glaciers from the ship make for an awesome itinerary. We would thoroughly recommend Princess to help you see the wonderment that Alaska has to offer. The crew are professional yet friendly and go out of their way to ensure you have a holiday of a lifetime. There were numerous announcements from the bridge whenever whales were spotted close to the ship to make the cruise even more magical. Traditional cruising at its very best, well done Princess and all the crew onboard the Emerald, we had the most amazing holiday.
Emily did a excellent job organising our tip, everything went like clockwork, the ship was very good and the food was much better than the last time we were on it. Many thanks to planet cruise.
Excellent. Upgraded to a balcony which was fabulous.
Below average dining. Poor choices, especially in buffet. Entertainment, apart from ship group and solo violinist, all below par. There was an issue with the cabin which took a long time to resolve. Will think twice before selecting Princess again.
