Emerald Princess

Do you by any chance have your Patters for the Alaska trip? I'm going in September on the Emerald and was wondering what they had in store for us. Sounds like you had a great trip - hope mine is also. Thanks!

AF-1 posted his patters in a separate thread where he reviewed his cruise. It's titles Emerald something something Happy Camper is in the tittle. It's a fairly long thread with lots of great info

Welcome :D My brother in law is really into craft beer and he lives in Victoria lol!

What are the Canadian papers saying about the murder aboard the Emerald Princess?

Thanks for your help, Kristy!

You will be told when you check in, it will be on the cruise card which dinning rooming you are assigned to

Unless you are on a ship when the Medallions are implemented. This info will not be on the Medallion itself.

The poster is talking about the Emerald....so no on the medallion yet

If your kids want they can walk to downtown. It's about 15 min brisk walk. There is a shuttle service at the port which cost $10 for round trip. And a nice way to see the city is by booking a horse drawn carriage tour. Princess offers those

Another option in Victoria is to walk to Fisherman's Wharf and have a look around there (colourful float homes, a few little shops, and places to eat including great fish and chips at Barb's). From there, take one of the little flat top passenger boats (we locals call them the pickle boats - real name is the Victoria Harbour Ferry) across the Inner Harbour to Spinnakers Brew Pub which has good local beers. There is also a pickle boat pub crawl ($25 pp) but we haven't done it so I can't speak from personal experience.

Hi there,

Did you have Happy hours on board similar to ours on Crown Princess a week ago?

Wheelhouse bar 3-4 pm, Adagio 5-6 pm and Skywalkers 11-12 pm?

we have booked this cruise for 2018 in a suite on the deck below the Lido and wonder how much use the pool got and the area around the ice cream stand or possible the opposite side by the bathrooms. I have heard so much criticism about the noise and am hoping the pool area is used less in Alaska.

There are cabin reviews on CC. You should read them. People use the hot tub and they spend time on deck viewing the beautiful scenery. Lots of folks are on deck when going through Tracy Arm. I believe, Princess has MUTS at night and they give blankets and hot chocolate.

If the reviews say it is noisy then I would be leery.

I was on Emerald in Jul 9-16. Not many people used the pools. It was in hi 50's low 60s all cruise

pool was not that busy on my cruise; however, lots of people we using the loungers at the pool. The ice cream bar got heavy use all cruise. I would say Trident Grill, Pizza, and Ice Cream all were used a lot. the pizza parlor seemed busy from time it opened at 11am till it closed at 11pm

Yes, we did not attend but they do have the free lunch.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks...looked at as many reviews as possible and "yes" noise was a big topic so we switched to another ship/another cruise. Too risky and too expensive to walk into a known situation.

I would not have booked that room if it was noisy. I never take a guarantee because I worry about cabin location. As you rightly said, it is too expensive to take the risk. Enjoy your trip. ⚓️

We once had a balcony Aloha - directly under the pool area on Lido. People said the noise from MUTS, smoke from Lido deck, and chairs scraping on the deck early in the morning when the crew was moving them around would be absolutely horrible.

We didn't hear MUTS, didn't smell any smoke, and didn't hear any chair scraping. It was a 15 day cruise and we had no complaints about the cabin at all. We were in cabin A408 on Star Princess. That put us right under the public deck on the Port side of the Neptune's Reef pool. Not a sound from above.

Do you know how much the Thermal Spa was in the Lotus Spa? We are going on a 7 day to Alaska on 9-3-17.

Thanks,

Nancy
