- It's the end of this journey on Emerald Princess. It's time to pick this ship apart... the good, the not-so-good, and the downright bad onboard.
Princess does some absolutely wonderful things on Emerald Princess, but there's also some areas that need a bit of work... What are they? Will you have the same likes and dislikes when you cruise?
Let's get to the final review of Emerald Princess!

Our Emerald Princess fall cruise starts in Quebec City and has no U.S, Stop except Boston, where we disembark. But we have two at-sea days.
Have an awesome trip!!!
" It satisfied the act of eating" what a great line . The salty dog food looked amazing on the other vlog. Great job Y'all.
Keep in mind the average age of a Princess guest. They are used to applesauce and puréed vegetables. Tacos are just too ethnic lol
🤪
We Just Spent 30 Days On The Emerald Princess. The Vibrations You Felt In The Aft Were Due To The Thrusters During Slow Speed Maneuvering This Is Completely Normal. Thank You For Sharing. You Both Are Very Entertaining
That makes sense… thanks!!!
Oh my goodness you guys are so fun! I also love how thorough and descriptive you are with your reviews. Thank you.
Thank you!!!😊
Wow! 30 cruises on Princess - 18 in the past 2 years - and the beds are heavenly! You are maybe the first I've heard of that have complained about them!
I have heard plenty of complaints about the mattresses. The crew will admit - they are old.
They put new beds in on the Emerald in 2016. So I guess that's old for mattresses that retail at about $2000. Except for the Regal, which only has the beds in Reserve and Full suites, the Luxury beds are on every other ship fleetwide. That said though, one of the things that most you tube reviews have pointed out is how comfy the beds are. 🤷♀Happy sailing!
Agreed... have been on Star (retired), Royal, Ruby, Grand and Caribbean Princess and the beds were awesome. Will be on Emerald in October so I'll be sure to take notice!
It may have been because of the bed configuration in our room and, therefore, the queen topper missing, but those were some horrible mattresses on the twins. Hard to know for sure since we didn’t have a queen bed.
I agree 💯The best sleeps of my life have been on a Princess cruise
Wow! I have had never had these issues with emerald! I just love princess!!
As we always say, sometimes it’s very hard to come up with 3 “dislikes” for a ship… after all, it’s a *cruise* 😊
Have your steward bring 2 additional bath towels that you can roll and place under the bedside tables and motion lights and that will solve your motion light problem!
How MacGyver’esque!!! Great solution!!!😊🤪😊
Sooo glad to hear about the promenade deck !! Plus the real cream and "seasoned crew" are always high on my list ,,, Thanks for including these details on your review
Real cream vs milk will make or break our cruise! 🤪😊🤪 Thanks!
Thanks for the tips and review.
We put pillows over the night lights and brough our own motion sencor light for the bathroom. It was a pain and I wish we could have the option to turn off the Princess night motion lights.
Ha! Great idea! 😊
We love the promenade too. That’s a true cruising experience!
💯 Wondefful place to “feel” the cruise experience!!!
The shudder is caused by the prop (cavitation). Because the prop is spinning fast and the ship isn't really moving it creates a vacuum/bubbles when these "pop", water rushes in to fill it. That creates the shaking. Some ports they really have to power out of, and that's when you tend to notice it more. If they can keep the power (RPMs) down you won't notice it. It's pretty common, you just happened to be in an area of the ship (the rear) where you feel it more.
Perfect description… thank you!
Lol... English Bacon.
Whenever we go to an all inclusive resort in Mexico, the breakfast buffet is always American (Burnt to a crisp) bacon, might as well call it pork jerky...lol
Ha! We do seem to like bacon a little “stiff”!🤪
Thanks, appreciate the info. About to head out on a 10 night Emerald Princess cruise. Chris, you have the perfect voice to do a Jim Gaffigan impersonation.
Ha! Love the epically pale (like Chris) Jim Gaffigan!😊🤪😊
Have a wonderful cruise on Emerald!
Port intensive cruises are definitely not my thing. I enjoy sea days mixed in. I’m a cruiser who likes to relax. But to each his own!
Absolutely… we are definitely in the same boat (pun intended)🤪🚢🤪
The Sky Princess has the automatic motion lights. The next ship Enchanted princess does not. I think they heard the complaints. The floor ones are ok but the one by bathroom is way to bright and stays on for too long....
I’m still seeing those flashy lights! 🤪🫣🤪
I love these. We loved everything about the Regal. Now we have to do Emerald, too!
Thanks Mark & Kathy… you guys rock!!!!!
We are the opposite of you….we don’t mind the slow service when dining! I would rather have tasteless food in the MDR than eating at the buffet. Not so much because of the food….but people not washing their hands (especially after going to the bathroom) people touching the food with their hands….kids coughing and playing with the food!
Absolutely… we don’t mind slower service in the dining room. Just that usually when something is described as “casual dining”, it is a little faster… and we don’t even mind it being slower, but wish we would’ve known it would take so long before hand so we could plan on the 2 hours in a casual restaurant. 😊
Couldn’t agree more with the buffet… sometimes the buffet can be a germ smorgasbord!🤪😜🤪
When we sailed on Ruby Princess we could get lemonade any time near the buffet.
Same on Regal… 🤷
We recently took a Viking River Cruise and our suite was located at the very back of the ship. We were surprised by all of the shaking so that must be normal.
And you would think a river cruise wouldn’t be susceptible to the shaking like that…🤔
@@Taste-Try-Travel Or that they would put the suites in that area of the ship!
Do you think using tape on the sensor could work
That might work… just would have to remember to bring some 😂😂😂
If you try it and it works… let us know!
You guys are so much fun 😊
Thanks!🤪
We will be on our first Princess cruise in June 2024, to Alaska for our first time as well. 14 days, will be our longest cruise yet. Looking to compare our own experience to the various reviews we have seen regarding Princess. Most reviews have been very positive on the mattresses. Disney Fantasy onion soup was as terrible as reviewers stated so hoping the Royal Princess onion soup is as good as reviewers have stated.
Yeah… it could’ve been because we converted the bed to singles and the queen topper was missing…. hard to know. But whatever the reason, that bed was bad. 😝
Our first cruise was on Princess to Alaska. We did both the land and cruise package. I wasn’t real crazy about the cruise part I went because I really wanted to see Alaska and this seemed the best way to go. Well, after our vacation both my husband and I were hooked on cruising. We love to cruise and we love Princess they are always our go to. We did go on a cruise with friends on a different cruise line it was nice but very crowded and the service was just not the same as Princess. We have been on 9 cruises 8 of them with Princess. We are going on a 14 day cruise in April it will be on Princess. I hope you enjoy your Alaska Cruise it is beautiful place to see. 😊
*arms waving in 70's kungfu style* 3x3 Baby!!!! Love these!
The shuddering in the aft of the ship seems to be a common issue for a lot of the older smaller ships. We had the issue on the Carnival Breeze and Carnival Valor. We are wondering how it is gonna be on our Carnival Sunrise cruise, we have an Aft Corner Balcony on that one. It may end up being like we have that old hotel Magic Fingers machine for our bed LoL
Ha! Magic fingers for everyone!!!!😄
i hate those lights under the bed nightstands, everything you say is so true!
Private disco party at 3am! 🥳😴🥳
Our experience with the food at the Salty Dog on Discovery Princes wasn't great. It was so Salty that 3 of our party of 4 sent it back (and I like salt) and yes, it also took forever.
That’s so sad to hear… exact opposite on Emerald. Really shows how different ships in the same line can be. 😊
Princess is considered a near-luxury line while MSC is considered budget, we’ve sailed YC several times and love it but are looking at other options, how would you compare Princess to MSC YC?
Yacht Club is superior to Princess in every way… and that’s no knock on Princess (we love Princess too), but MSC has knocked it out of the park when it comes to a near-perfect cruise experience with Yacht Club. Princess is definitely nice, but it really doesn’t compare. 😊
those motion sensor lights are the WORST. Whomever designed those needs to be FIRED!!!!
Well one by the bathroom would be ok but it’s just too much by the beds
I’ve cruised with Princess many times. I find it very hard to believe that there wasn’t “American” bacon daily. 90% of Princess passengers on this itinerary - I was on this cruise - are American. They always cater to American palates. Perhaps the tray of bacon happened to be empty at that moment? I had/saw bacon every day.
We’ll have to take your word for it.
😂😊
@@Taste-Try-Travel Was on the Emerald in Feb for Panama canal Cruise... American Bacon EVERY morning! yay!
Just a quick question? is sabistinies or Planks open for lunch on emerald princess?
Hi there. No neither were open for lunch on our sailing. I wish they were lunch options especially on sea days 😢
Great video! Can you share what movies played in the under the stars one? I'm sailing with them for the first time soon.
So sorry… only remember three that they showed this cruise. “Ford v Ferrari”, “Elvis” and “Death on the Nile”.
Have a great cruise!
we cruised in February... there was Barbie, Maverick, Bohemian Rhapsody, Elvis, Ferris Buellers Day Off,
I've never had any restaurant take 2 hours! But then, I've heard bad reviews about all MSC food. It is just too subjective.
Experiences can (and do) vary from cruise to cruise and ship to ship. It’s a 100% certainty someone else will have a different opinion, but we can only give ours and hope it helps folks navigate their own experience. We would never even think of telling someone what they should or shouldn’t feel about a cruise.
We have cruised 3 times with MSC, every time with cheap food without taste, they don’t know what spices are! we are cruising with Emerald Princess in Juli, we cross our fingers for tasting meals🤞🏼🙏🏼
