friend of Eeyore Posted January 7 #276 Share Posted January 7 Had a whole paragraph typed up, but managed to lose it. So not retyping except to say: I hadn't seen escargot on the menu all week so I asked about it yesterday and Claudia (one of the Head Waiters or whatever they're calling them these days) said she could get it for me today. Yummy last dinner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mrell345 Posted January 7 Author #277 Share Posted January 7 Sad to be finishing up the cruise but we have had a great time. Good food, a great cabin Stewart and serving staff. There is quite the party going in the Piazza right now. Looking forward to next cruise. I would definitely sail on Emerald again. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only I could stay awake for these parties. Lol. I've been tucked in the room with luggage out since 8ish, I think. Waking up early for an early flight. I'll review later, it was a good cruise, but I'm not keen on big ships, and Emerald is still too big for me. We haven't been on Princess since Covid, and had 250 days before that - but 150 of them were on the R Class ships. We've been trying other lines, and will likely keep exploring.

Itried4498 Posted January 7 #280 Share Posted January 7 Great cruise indeed! Great to see lots of youngsters at the farewell party tonight. Every other party looked like it featured the cast of Cocoon. Most of the families seemed to be that of the crew. The Captain was staying in a stateroom near ours with his wife and son. We saw him in the restaurant a few times and rode the elevator with once. Pretty cool to see him acting as a regular passenger while not on duty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mrell345 Posted January 7 Author #287 Share Posted January 7 Looks like it will be a busy day at the cruise port. Norwegian Bliss is just coming in. She is big enough that she had to turn in the outer harbour and back down the channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of it has to do with a person's expectations. If you go on a cruise with the idea that it has to be perfect in every way, then you're bound to be disappointed. Alternatively, if you pack a little patience and understanding with the attitude of "I'm going to try and enjoy myself no matter what" then you will have a great time! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mrell345 Posted January 7 Author #299 Share Posted January 7 Our flight is at 8 PM so we have lots of time, I booked a day room at the Hilton LAX hotel to relax in before taking the hotel shuttle back to the airport for our flight later on. I will do a final review after I get home. I will probably post it here and do a separate thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we were up is because the wife wanted to go to the second chance raffle in the casino at 10:30 PM. When you buy scratch and win tickets you put your name and cabin number on the back and put it in the drum for the last night’s draw. They pull out 3 names who get to spin the wheel for a chance to win $200.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
