Tweedy Posted July 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2010 We board the Emerald in the Spring and have googled every possible photo of the ship (I think). If you have more, would love to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elouise Lashley is the Circle Hostess. We will stear clear of any and all silly people. Maybe. I thought they usually get like 3 months at a time off. Maybe a family emergency or something and they might send you an updated one. I guess I will see what my email says for our upcoming August cruise.

Yeah I would much rather prefer the candid photos and reviews rather than the "fake" pictures that are just to perfect lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the OP- Do you know if they had any sort of a seafood buffet in the Horizon the first evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimchee1212 Posted July 11, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm going to answer everything in one big post (: That's strange. Maybe it's just a short break, although they usually have longer ones. And I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do (Which is like 1500), but I have plenty of pictures and I'll share them all with you. Beautiful ship, crowded, but beautiful. And there was no seafood buffet on the first night. Very disappointed :/, just a sailaway buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny DI Posted July 12, 2010 #17 Share Posted July 12, 2010 We were on the Emerald Princess for the Baltic Sea/Russia cruise in Aug 2009. Fantastic Cruise!!!! We LOVE the Emerald.:) We were in E 723. The Emerald is a beautiful ship ....prefer her to the QM2!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSDingy Posted July 12, 2010 #18 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I noticed you said "beautiful Emerald Princess. Another poster on another thread said the ship was old and worn or words to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny DI Posted July 12, 2010 #19 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Everyone has an opinion...my husband isn't a Princess fan but he loved the Emerald. We've been on 17 different ships..... We just completed a 24 day on the QM2..."we've been there, done that, got the t-shirt and don't need to do it again". Is the Emerald due for a dry dock? My focus is always the cabin, food, internet space and public areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny DI Posted July 12, 2010 #20 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Wanted to add the Emerald may need a dry dock...so not saying she isn't tired right now. Last August she was beautiful. We've been on 20 cruises ....5 on Princess. Its hard to rate the top but the bottom two are easy...Rotterdam and QM2...both are beautiful ships but we didn't have a great time for the same reason on both ships....food and service.

1 HappyCruiser Posted July 12, 2010 #23 Share Posted July 12, 2010 There have been reports on another thread that the Lotus pool is now limited to only people utilizing the Sanctuary. According to the report posted, non Sanctuary passengers cannot use the pool and that it was posted in the Patter each day. :mad: I think this was a bad interpretation of something written in the Patter. Any confirmation about this ruling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any confirmation about this ruling? I've been on Emerald eight times, including two weeks ago, and have never seen this. My opinion of cruisecritic -- if there is a comment that is suspect, I don't believe it until it is confirmed by a reasonable number of people. For instance, someone reported a few months ago that coffee cards now have an expiration date. Been on three cruises since then, and no expiration date.

bjcanady Posted July 12, 2010 #25 Share Posted July 12, 2010 We had Tim Donovan, but it was his last cruise, so I'm not sure who you guys will have. You'll have a great time no matter who it is :D Tim has 2 more weeks before his vacation and he did not know who his replacement was going to be. It was a wonderful week for us also.....love the Emerald. All the staff was fantabulous, from Captain on down, what wonderful service!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
