Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive tour and review of the Emerald Princess cruise ship, evaluating various aspects of the passenger experience. The review begins with an assessment of an inside stateroom, which the creator describes as having an outstanding size and a massive closet, despite a preference for a shower door over a curtain. The food experience is a major focus, covering the lunch buffet, which offers extensive cold options and themed menus but suffers from a cramped layout and a lack of available utensils. The creator compares the main dining room to specialty dining options, noting that the Crown Grill provides superior food quality, such as actual crab in its crab cakes and excellent porterhouse steaks, making the cover charge worthwhile. Entertainment venues like the main theater, the nightclub, and the Movies Under the Stars deck are also explored, though the creator suggests bringing earplugs for the loud theater. While the ship shows some signs of age, including some rust and dated decor in certain areas, the creator concludes that the overall experience is great and well worth the price for those looking to get away.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I stayed in Dolphin 716. that's an inside cabin that's an inside stateroom I almost always stay on inside staterooms because I don't really spend that much time in the room

the lunch buffet is a pretty tight squeeze what I mean by that is the layout of the buffet doesn't give you much room to actually maneuver around the other guests

the main theater was incredibly loud and I'm not really exaggerating

the crown Grill offered the best specialty dining option on board the Emerald Princess in terms of the quality of the food

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring earplugs for the main theater
βœ“Head to the buffet only on times where it's not mobbed with people
