jajohnson Posted February 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2009 We will be on the 28 day Emerald in October 2009 and were wondering about the quality/size of the library. The answer will help us decide how many books to pack. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvercruiser Posted February 1, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The library on Emerald is a very small, very narrow room. Surprising, for such a large ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted February 1, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It does have a pretty good selection of books though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted February 1, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It is small and narrow, but both sides are lined with bookcases, so I doubt there are any fewer books than on the original Grand class ships. What it's missing is extensive comfortable seating for sitting and reading. There is also a "take a book, leave a book" area, and I picked up a book for my flight home there (and, yes, left about 3 behind). I really liked the location of the library also (Deck 7 midship).

Infi Posted February 1, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2009 To echo others, the library is surprisingly small for a ship Emerald's size, but does have many bookshelves...just not enough room to spread out to read them in, which is unfortunate. Here are some photos of the library if you're interested: http://picasaweb.google.com/emeraldprincess2/Library#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted February 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2009 All Princess ships have 3000 to 5000 book libraries. We have always fund plenty of books to read, even on long (35 day) cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
