I love the Emerald- I really prefer the mid size ships. 

Thank you so much for posting your wonderful information and pictures. Our grand-daughter, my husband and I are cruising on the Regal Nov. 6th. from Spain to Rome so loving your posts - thanks again and enjoy!

Seems like your Q got over-looked.  Yes, B2B passengers do have to disembark briefly at US port turn-arounds.  You will receive a letter in stateroom with instructions; you all meet up and go off together to clear US CBP, and then you can re-board.  If you are staying on, you will be back on board before any new passengers come on.

Thank you so much for your information

Could you please tell me if you have to get off the ship in Fort Lauderdale or can you stay on - thanking you in advance for any information 

Thank you so much for your posts, Waynetor. We will be sailing with you on Feb. 27th. until March 13th. and your information is wonderful - can't wait. We are also almost your neighbours thanks again from Cambridge Ontario.

Thank you Princess you did the right thing. 

We are sailing at the end of April. Unfortunately we did not purchase cancellation insurance - I see now that that was really dumb of me. Does anyone know if it is too late to purchase it now from Princess as it is about 60 days until we sail. We have paid our cruise and ezair flight in full. I really do not want to cancel - but if this virus gets worse I worry.

Wow! Thank you so much for your quick reply. 

This comment is listed to our mini suite cabin on the Emerald. Could someone tell me what 1 Upper means?

QUAD CABIN SOFABED/1 UPPER CONNECTS WITH E726

Not to worry the ship is in beautiful shape. We were on her in September and we were very pleased. She is in much better shape than 2 years ago when we had sailed her last. Also the food is very good now as well. Enjoy her!

Yes I agree, Pam is wonderful! She has helped me out with numerous questions throughout the years.

It did on the Emerald, 2/3 of the sofa made into a bed, with 1/3 left for sitting on.

The room steward opened/closed the bed each day/night.

 

Oh perfect - we will be on the Emerald - thank you all so much

Another thought...if the mini accommodates 4 passengers, there will be a drop down bed from the ceiling. Might be more comfortable.

Wow! I didn't know that - thanks that might be the best way

Awww! So sweet, but our 25 year old grand-daughter might find that uncomfortable - lol

If anyone can help answer my questions I would truly appreciate it. My husband, and 25 year old grand-daughter and I will be sailing to Hawaii in May. We will be in a Mini Suite. Do they leave the sofa open and made into a bed, or do they put it back to a sofa in the morning. Also, do they put the comfy new mattress on top of it.  

Does anyone know if you can bring a one cup coffee maker to your cabin? I was thinking of buying one for our next cruise. Thanking you in advance for any information.

We have sailed the Crown three times in 11 months including the British Isles. No complaints at all - we love the Crown. Enjoy her!

Yes I was wondering about the Elite cocktail hour. It was held in Skywalkers 11 months ago but not the last time we sailed her.

We are sailing on the Crown in 2 weeks. This will be our 3rd. time sailing her in 11 months ( love the Crown). Could anyone please tell me if Skywalkers is open for a drink late afternoon - last sailing it was not however the first sailing it was open for Elite passengers. We love being there when the Crown sails out of port. Thank you for any information. 

We have been on the Crown two times in the last 9 months and will be on her again in a few weeks (June 17th.) We love this ship - wonderful Master Chef - yummy food. Enjoy her!

My husband and I will be on the June 18th cruise!

My husband and I sail from Paris on June 17th - getting excited 

We sailed on the Costa Mediterania  (sp?) it was about 6 years ago. Our room was wonderful. The ship is extremely clean and beautiful - not one bit tacky. I don't know what they do but the air flow all over the ship but it was amazing - I have never had a better sleep than I did on this ship. The food was good - similar to Princess. The only complaint was the entertainment in the theatre - not so good. Hope this helps - I am sure you will love the cruise.

I never order lobster on a cruise ship. Having lived in the Boston area for over 35 years in a town where there were lobster pots all over the harbor and having fresh caught lobster was the norm, ship lobster is a poor substitute. 

 

Any lobster north of Cape Cod is cold water lobster. Doesn’t matter whether it’s in Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Maine. It’s the same lobster. They don’t know about state lines. 🙂 

 

I have mixed feelings about the extra charge items on the menus. I’ll be on the Ruby in just over couple of weeks and will decide then whether it’s worth it. Chances are that if I have extra OBC, it will be.  

Have a great cruise, Pam. We fly from Toronto to Rome tonight. Cruising on the Crown to Fort Lauderdale. We were on her in May and love the Crown - we also love her sisters, Ruby and Emerald.

My husband and I were on this sailing. We went up to Skywalkers, on deck 18, to take pictures. The ship was on a bit of a slant. The captain gave numerous updates as stated by another poster. All passengers were told to return to their cabins, so we took the stairs down to our 10th deck cabin. The captain did a wonderful job keeping everyone informed, and not for one moment were we fearful. Kudos to the captain for a job well done, and thank God no damage was done to this wonderful ship.
