Creator's Key Takeaways

This is our first Emerald Princess cruise. And this is our first Princess cruise.

We've been on a lot of different cruise ships. This is our 57th cruise, I think.

This is the longest boarding process I can ever remember in all of our cruises. It took a long time.

Customer service is good. I know it's boarding day, but we haven't ran into any bad customer service yet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through the ship to guarantee you don't get left behind.
Bring water shoes for beaches with rocky entries.
Check in early for an earlier boarding time to avoid long lines.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Navigating the shipThe ship layout is confusing with floors not going straight through; take time to learn it.
Customer service qualitySo far, customer service has been friendly and helpful, but they will monitor it throughout the cruise.
