Anton Posted March 30, 2019 #55 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I was on the 15 night Hawaii cruise that ended last Tuesday. Several senior staff told me they will remake the Horizon Court into the World Fresh Marketplace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretchendz Posted March 31, 2019 #58 Share Posted March 31, 2019 My guess it is similar to recent Ruby reno--new carpet (needed), update the Pizza and hot dogs areas...hoping it includes the big screen TVs with on demand and the new wi-fi.....Please let us know when you get on board. I'm on Emerald in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about us tomorrow Las! We are counting on you for a full report 🙂 I'd be especially interested to know if they upgraded their internet. I was on a few months ago and it was the same old crappy slow internet. Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennwick Posted April 16, 2019 #72 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Just looked at the ship details on princess.com and they’ve made updates to Emerald to reflect some of the rebranding/refresh including World Fresh Marketplace,Plank & Steamers and Coffee and Cones. I know they’ve received mixed reviews on Caribbean Princess, but I’m happy to see some refreshening. https://www.princess.com/ships-and-experience/ships/ep-emerald-princess/ Edited April 16, 2019 by Jennwick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's correct. After reading your post, I saw it in the ship details also. However, I just looked at the deck plans for Emerald Princess again, and they show Pizza and Ice Cream Bar - not Coffee and Cones - on the Lido deck. This seems to conflict with the description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennwick Posted April 16, 2019 #74 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Yes, I noticed they hadn’t updated the deck plans, but in another thread someone who boarded today confirmed the changes. And new flat screen TVs and new deck furniture! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 16, 2019 #75 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Glad to hear that, since they are making HC into World Fresh Market Place, they are also adding Planks and Steamers. When we sailed on CB last year (March 2018) we found that going all the way through the buffet to the Planks/Steamers area provided better breakfast selections. That's where the cooked-to order eggs were and the made-to-order omelettes were there also. Many people didn't realize there were other selections back there and there was always seating available as well. Lunch was also provided back in that area with vastly different options than in the main buffet. I'm also happy about the change to the grill. Salty Dog Grill had additional items added to the menu. We sail Emerald next November so the upgraded Internet and the new dining venues will be great for us. Edited April 16, 2019 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
