If you are in a room for four with the beds that fold down from the wall I would go with twins as the beds on the wall make it tight to get into a queen bed.

Question about booking directly with Princess
deja moo replied to Celandine's topic in Princess Cruises
If your PVP is not taking care of you, call in and get someone else. I originally had someone who was not good at returning emails so I called in and was assigned someone else. I now have a great PVP that always beats the internet rate, and has been fantastic about getting me great cabin locations. He has saved me thousands of dollars and many headaches. YMMV -
I do not know if you can do it online, but my last cruise I paid for it with gift cards and had money left over on the gift card, so I went to guest services and they applied what was left to OBC.

The deck above the bridge can be accessed from the Lido deck all the forward.

Steak Add-On In the MDR: Anyone done it?
deja moo replied to New2cruise2022's topic in Princess Cruises
I had the fillet once and I will not be ordering that again. It was fairly tender but lacked flavor. Coming from the Midwest we have really good beef so $19 extra for a mediocre steak was not a good value to me. -
What do you do to reduce onboard illness?
deja moo replied to lahlah57's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
I have learned to keep my hands away from my face. That and at the buffet I wash my hands before and after I get my food. Everyone has had their hands on the serving tongs. I am not sure if this is scientific, but the last several cruises I have been on where I have ate multiple deserts I have never been sick. So I am going with that. -
As of a month ago they had the hexagonal mats. We did not play pickle ball but shot some baskets. What I did like was having the ping pong inside in half the conference room forward deck seven.

I was on the Emerald last month and had issues with the water temp in the shower. It was either hot or scalding hot. My friend who was in another cabin had no issues. Other than that I really enjoyed the ship. I like having a full promenade deck. Food and service were both excellent.

Princess Cabin Reviews – NO CABIN QUESTIONS POSTED HERE PLEASE!
deja moo replied to srice's topic in Princess Cruises
Ship - Emerald Princess Class - Crown Deck - Emerald Cabin # - E425 Category - OV Ocean view Obstructed Port/Starboard/Bow/Stern - Starboard Connects With Cabin # No Accessible - No Quiet - Yes Balcony Size - N/A View - Obstructed (looking over lifeboat) Privacy Issues - No Wind - No Soot - No Problems - The water in the bathroom was hot or hotter. No cold water in the sink, stool, or shower. After four visits by the plumber, they were able to get the water to a temperature that was suitable for taking a shower, but still no real control over the temperature. Comments - The other issue that I had was the bed was set up as a queen and it kept sliding apart. After three tries they finally tied the the two beds together and put on a thicker mattress topper which solved the problem. One thing I will mention is when the bed is set up as a queen in this cabin, there are jump beds that fold down on each side, so getting in and out of bed is not convenient. I would hit my shoulder if I did not stoop down. If you are a family of four this room layout would be OK, but I would not recommend this room unless the water is fixed. Overall I still had a great cruise and the cabin location was handy. Princess gave me $150 future cruise credit which is good. -
I was on the Emerald last week and they had the table tennis on the Fiesta deck six forward. It is right before the Princess theater in the starboard side of conference center. They had two tables set up and a nice assortment of paddles and balls. I only played there once, but it was a nice set up.

What is your favourite thing about a Princess ship?
deja moo replied to space27's topic in Princess Cruises
My favorite thing is there is no amusement park, go-karts, or rodeo on the Lido deck. -
LIVE from the Emerald - 14-day Circle Caribbean - 12/9/23
deja moo replied to CanadianBurger's topic in Princess Cruises
You will be fine on that side of the ship. I was in Emerald 425 and this was directly out from my cabin maybe 75 feet. 2023-12-03 08.51.31.mov -
LIVE from the Emerald - 14-day Circle Caribbean - 12/9/23
deja moo replied to CanadianBurger's topic in Princess Cruises
I was on the previous Emerald cruise and be prepared to hear a subwoofer blasting at 7:00am from the port at Trinidad if you are on the port side. I was not a happy camper hearing that all day. The rest of the cruise was great. -
How is the bidding system doing? Any comments?
deja moo replied to Bwana Tom's topic in Princess Cruises
I received notice my bid was accepted today. Leaving in seven days on the Emerald Princess. I had a bid from a gty inside to a balcony for $500 total, and an obstructed ocean view for $130 total. I won on the obstructed ocean view. I would have preferred the balcony, but the cabin they assigned me is center ship which is still good.
