Problems to be aware of, on Emerald Princess

[lovedecruise]

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

We sailed her in Jan 2016 had no issues

No issues for us during a 2-wk cruise on the Emerald in June-July 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.

Is that possible?

Absolutely no problems for us with a/c and plumbing in January 2016.

Also, our fridge was extremely cold. :)

Same here... no issues when we sailed in Jan 2016.

No A/C nor plumbing problems for us in May this year.

Sailed on her for four weeks in August of this year. Both hot and cold climates too. No problems with A/C, heating or plumbing. She was great!

Tell you in about 12 days.

We never had any problems on the Emerald Princess. It's one of my favorite cruise ships.

Welcome to Cruise Critical.

All seems good so far, but at any moment we could be at Def Con 1.

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. :):)

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.

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

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.

 

Cheers

Is this like sending it to the boon docks or the old folks home?

It's typically where they send the old tired ships. :rolleyes:

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.

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:
