Creator's Key Takeaways

We really enjoyed our 16 days on this ship.

The Emerald Princess was built in 2007 and was refurbished in 2025.

The international cafe is a place you can come to throughout the day and get all kinds of snacks, desserts, sandwiches, salads, all complimentary.

The casino's right there waiting for you. In fact, they kind of make it so you just walk right through the casino.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive 10 or 15 minutes early for shows to secure a seat.
Use the ocean compass touchscreens to find routes around the ship.
Consider booking the sanctuary for a private relaxation area.
