Differences between Emerald and Carib. Princess

[rundent]

I have cruised on the Emerald 4 times but never, until September, on the Carib. Princess. I can find my way around the former with confidence and wonder what I'll find different.

Best bet is to look at the public deck plans for each ship online.

 

A quick look at my Cruise Atlas shows a lot of the biggies are in the same places (dining rooms, Horizon Court, passenger services, medical center, explorer lounge, International Cafe, Club Fusion, theater) or close enough if you turn around you will see them. The casinos, specialty dining, teen centers, mini-golf are different.

I find no difference.

The Caribbean Princess has the "handle" where Skywalkers is located but does not have the Adagio Bar.;)

Casino, Crown Grill, Wheelhouse Bar and Sabatini's are different places on Caribbean, compared to Emerald.

 

On Caribbean, Casino on deck 7 forward of Atrium, a smaller Wheelhouse is still on deck 7 but behind Explorers. Sabatini's is next to Wheelhouse. Crown Grill is on Deck 6 under Casino.

 

Caribbean also has Window Suites.

 

As already noted, Caribbean does not have Adagio.

The Caribbean Princess has more/bigger outdoor areas with loungers as a result of Skywalkers being a shopping cart handle. The Piazza is not quite as pretty, IMO. The carpeted Piazza stairs are nice to walk down but not as pretty to look at. The FC and CC area is bigger with a nice waiting area. I like the Adagio and Sabatinis areas on the Emerald Princess.

Guess I'll be pretty much at home. Hope I'm not too spoiled by an Oceania cruise in 10 days. Really like Princess but want to see if money can buy an even better experience - or it won't wind up mattering to me.
