PLEASE ... Tell us anything you know about Emerald Princess. "About to Book" a B2B ( 20 Days) for January or February 2009.

We are LongTimePrincessLovers ... but know nothing about Emerald Princess. Any opinions before we ask our TA to BookIt would be GREATLY appreciated.

She's a new ship. LOL Sister to the Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess. Other than that I don't know since I have yet to sail on her.

The Emerald is identical to the Crown Princess. Every single venue and feature found on the Crown Princess is on the Emerald. Size of ship, passenger capacity etc is the same as well as the cabin lay out and locations on both ships.
You won't be sorry about booking a B2B on the Emerald.

Friends just finished a B2B on the Emerald and say it's a great ship, great crew, and great food. The only downside, as I understand it, is that the entertainment venues are too small for the size of ship. Very hard to get in to see shows, etc. I'll know more when I get back.

Thanks for this! VERY helpful because we've actually been on Crown.

Almost BON VOYAGE time for you!

Please do tell us all about it when you return. For sure it'll be of great interest to me and my DH!

LuLu, I'm referring to the new Crown Princess which went into service in June 2006, not the original Crown Princess. The new Crown is much larger than the original ship.
