lovedecruise Posted November 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We are considering a cruise on the Emerald Princess but I have read that there have been issues both with the air conditioning in some of the staterooms, and also with the plumbing. This is since it's refurbishment in 2015. Is anyone aware of any other problems this ship may be experiencing? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-D Posted November 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No issues for us during a 2-wk cruise on the Emerald in June-July 2016. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredie Posted November 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't know about the A/C, but it seems to me it's not lots of people complaining about it but the same few repeating the complaints over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aus Traveller Posted November 30, 2016 #15 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We just came back November 15 , were on the emerald princess for 48days did not have any plumbing problems or a/c problem..... The same 48 nights for us and no problems with a/c or plumbing in either of the two cabins we had. :) The Emerald has the new bedding and it is superb. :):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted November 30, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 30, 2016 All ships eventually will have plumbing problems and A/C problems in a few cabins from time to time. Hopefully the staff gets them fixed right the first time. So even if a cabin had a problem a few weeks ago, it doesn't mean it will have a problem again.

floridalover5623 Posted November 30, 2016 #17 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Most people don't have the AC or plumbing problems but if you do, it can be a nightmare of a cruise especilly if all the cabins are filled. :( I'm just happy that they sent the Emerald to Australia. Maybe it'll stay there until they retire it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallijan Posted November 30, 2016 #18 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Hi we just returned from a 13 night NZ cruise we did not have any problems every thing was working fine the ship is in very good condition and would not hesitate in booking again.

bigenna Posted November 30, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 30, 2016 We thoroughly enjoyed our first trip on Emerald last fall, transatlantic from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale. No issues that we noticed. Beautiful ship and great staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted November 30, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 30, 2016 There is actually a pretty big problem with Emerald Princess. She is currently anchored off New Caledonia and I'm sitting here in California. As far as I'm concerned that is definitely a problem. As for being sent to Australia to rot and die or whatever: We board Emerald next October 8 in San Pedro. I didn't realize that was now part of Oz... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
