Creator's Key Takeaways

The Enchanted Princess is about 145,000 gross tons where the Emerald Princess is only about 113 gross tons

We have never had a problem on the Emerald, although this this sailing is not as full

The 360 dining experience is a phenomenal seven course meal accompanied by drinks, accompanied by uh a video story

The food is better seasoned on the Emerald, but the variety is less, especially in the buffet

Consider if you prefer a more intimate feel or a larger open space
If you enjoy specialty dining, the Enchanted has more options
