Alaska 7 night Inside Passage cruise from Vancouver. For context we are Princess loyal, Platinum level and don't cruise any other line. Emerald Princess was our 5th ship sailed in the Princess fleet and we found it to be an excellent experience apart from the ship being a little too crowded for our liking which we fully expected for this popular itinerary. The ship is in good condition for her age and the crew were as usual attentive and happy. The food was very good to excellent across all levels from buffet breakfast & lunches through to the main dining room for dinner as well as Crown Grill & Planks. Public areas were warm and inviting. O'Malley's was our favourite and provided great atmosphere for an afternoon drink. The outside bars were a little less frequented as it was naturally pretty cold for this sailing in May. The entertainment was good and the naturalist/ex Park Ranger sessions in the Princess theatre were some of the best sessions we've attended on any cruise. Our balcony stateroom mid-forward on Baja deck was a great place to sight see as it got a little crowded on the open decks particularly in Glacier Bay. The stateroom was comfortable and well maintained. No issues at all All the usual Alaska port calls were excellent as were the shore tours taken through the ship but understandably things were extremely busy and at times crowded on shore with up to 4 ships present at most ports. Weather was fortunately excellent with only one rainy day in Juneau. Overall a very good cruise, highly desirable itinerary, good seas and a nice ship. We do prefer the Royal Class ships but Emerald is one of the better of the Grand Class. (Found it much more likeable than the Crown)
Fantastic, this shop has had updates in 2024. Doesn't show any signs of aging. Love the more traditional setup of the venues and the cabins. The big dressing closet outside bathroom rather than the newer setup of shops like sky princess. Super clean with the nicest crew. Everyone so helpful. Decks 8 and 9 if you are on a balcony they are not covered. We were in Alaska, so rainy. If your in nice weather you might enjoy the sun. Entertainment was hot and miss, not many good shows in Princess theatre. Comedians were very good. Service for drinks was excellent. Room service delivered fast. Food was much hotter and so was coffee on previous cruises. Very interesting and delicious food at buffets and in dining rooms. Crown Grill was not impressive at all. For what you pay, unless you want a huge steak you dont get much. More up charges here. Food in main dining room was very good although one night we waited an hr for our main course. Loved the 24 hr international café. Our cruise was in Alaska so you certainly need a sweater or light jacket for walking inside the ship as it can get chilly. Even though it was raining and chilly still seemed to be some watching the movies under the stars every night. We were late by 1.5 hrs getting into Juneau, so had to go to customer service desk and have them phone our whale watching tour to change time, which they did. Their was a lot of fog that morning so ship had to slow. Also late docking in Vancouver by an hr. Eady on and off ship, Princess is a well oiled machine and everything flowed beautifully. In our rooms by 1.30 and had our luggage a little after 3. Sail away was on time. Going under Lions gate bridge and pulling away from Vancouver was beautiful. Inside straight was a little disappointing, didn't get close to glacier at all. Many people saw whales off of ship, but we had no luck. We did see orcas on a whale watching cruise inn Juneau. We went with Juneau whale tours. Very good company. Highly recommend. They pick you right up at tram, a short walk from ship. Did the white pass train trip.inbSkagway for the second time. So beautiful. Go stand outside at end of cars, the air is so beautiful and fresh. Sit on left side going up. Much better view. You can find free wifi at the libraries in all the ports. Pretty much no restaurants have it.
