Creator's Key Takeaways

We've spent four weeks aboard the Emerald Princess, sailing through Iceland and Northern Europe in late 2025.

The food's been really good. They've had a lot of variety, so that's been really nice.

The non-smoking side generally stayed smokefree, but the limited variety of machines meant that almost every single seat in the entire casino was taken most evenings and sea days.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the crew call chat in your Princess app to avoid long lines at guest services.
Sit on deck 6 for the best sight lines in the Princess Theater to avoid wooden railings blocking your view.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding a place to eat on sea daysThe buffet can be almost impossible to find a seat on sea days, so plan accordingly.
Outdoor spaces being cold and barren on cold weather cruisesExpect outdoor spaces to be empty on cold weather cruises; indoor spaces are not overly crowded.
Entertainment filling up quicklyComedians fill up quickly; the ship puts them in the Princess Theater for better seating.
