we sailed on the emerald princess for 10 nights in late december 2021.

most passengers board the ship and head straight to the world fresh marketplace buffet on deck 15 aft however there are plenty of other less crowded options available as well

the international cafe is a 24-hour complimentary eatery that is located on deck 5 midship on the port side of the atrium area

the digital scavenger hunts are available for free through the interactive portal screens located throughout the ship
