Spectacular Solar Eclipse Cruise
April
Pros: Viewing a total solar eclipse, traveling through the Panama Canal, Zip Line excursion
Cons: none
Recommended: Yes
Our cabin was on deck 11 B531. Our steward, Andrew was phenomenal with assisting us with answers to questions we had about the ship and amenities. Our room service provider, Edward 10, ensured we had our coffee delivered on time, and it was hot, which was much appreciated.

Panama Canal Cruise
April
Pros: Staff and Dining exceptional. Most ports have good excursions. Express baggage right to airport a definite plus!
Cons: Very loud music in the atrium. Have complained every cruise. Cannot talk in lounges near atrium. Why is it so doggone loud? Blasts the eardrums and not enjoyable.
Recommended: Yes
Wish some tours didn't focus on shopping so much. Panama stellar experience. Eclipse wonderful addition. Did not think entertainment quite as good as in past cruises but still enjoyable.

Go for the food!
April
Pros: Great food, great service, friendly crew. Buffet remodeling was well done and needed.
Cons: Staterooms showing a lot of wear and tear now
Recommended: Yes
Just returned from a 15-day Panama Canal/Total Eclipse cruise. Ship was FULL but didn’t feel overly crowded. Ate every dinner in the Michelangelo Dining Room and didn’t have a single disappointing meal! This is better than our typical MDR experience on other ships. Enjoyed the enrichment speakers who shared fun facts about the Panama Canal and the amazing total eclipse. The captain did a fantastic job of positioning the ship for best viewing of the eclipse. Passenger vibe was the be most positive/upbeat we’ve ever seen. Everyone’s gratitude for being able to view the rare event from the convenience of a cruise ship was palpable. Had an ocean view room on Plaza Deck 5 and loved the convenient location. Excursions were all wonderful. Overall, one of our favorite cruises ever.

Great cruise-Caribbean Collection
February
Pros: Great islands- 8 in 14 days, service was great
Cons: Entertainment was great except for one performer.
Recommended: Yes
The mighty Quinn was the worst performer that we have ever seen on a cruise ship. His talent was severely lacking and his interaction with the audience was very offensive.

Love the Emerald Princess
September
Pros:
Cons: Original Itinerary stated stop in Bar Harbor, then was changed to Rockland, Maine.
Recommended: Yes
Beautiful Ship Wonderful, Friendly, Knowledgeable Staff and Crew When we booked, itinerary listed Bar Harbor, ME as stop, which was then changed to Rockland, ME. No reason given for change, but Rockland was a MAJOR disappointment! Only had three shops of interest, and a lot of the restaurants were closed due to being past Labor Day. Too small a village/town to entertain/support cruise traffic. Was also supposed to go to Halifax, Nova Scotia but could not due to approaching of Hurricane Lee. Although disappointed, thoroughly appreciated reason for unscheduled change. Better safe than sorry!
