Emerald Princess Cruises are the Jewel of the Eastern Caribbean
Emerald Princess cruises designate a large portion of the year to cruising the Eastern Caribbean. You will find Emerald Princess cruises in the Eastern Caribbean October through July
I am sure you are wondering where the Emerald Princess cruises when it is not in the Caribbean. During August and September you will find the Emerald Princess cruising Europe and making transatlantic trips. Most people fall in love with the Caribbean, so this remains the main focus point of Emerald Princess cruises.
What ports of call can I expect from an Eastern Caribbean cruise? For an exclusively Eastern Caribbean cruise you will stop at such exotic ports as Princess Cays,Bahamas, St. Maarten, St. Thomas,Virgin Islands, and Grand Turk,Great Britain. These Emerald Princess cruises begin and end in Ft. Lauderdale,Florida. If you are interested in cruising all of the Caribbean, the Emerald Princess cruises all of the Caribbean during May-July and these trips are 14 nights versus the aforementioned 7 night cruises.
Besides the exotic ports of call on Emerald Princess cruises, you will also find the ship to be a destination unto itself. Offering everything from specialty dining to anytime dining you will never go hungry on Emerald Princess cruises. To satiate that gambling lust the ship contains a full service casino with many table games and countless one armed bandits. Two theatres offer all the shows you could think of with one theatre being under the stars, truly a delight for movie or star watching.
Emerald Princess cruises do not stop at the mere necessities. This ship has 5 pools and several hot tubs, including one just for adults. For the golf enthusiast there is a nine hole putting course along with a pro golf course simulator, so your swing will not suffer on your cruise vacation. Even the younger generation are catered to on Emerald Princess cruises with a full video arcade, internet connections, a splash pool, and a teen and youth center. All in all I don't believe you will find a better vacation for your entire family than Emerald Princess cruises.
As with all Princess cruises, Emerald Princess cruises pride themselves on excellence when it comes to service, food, and maintaining a safe ship. You will not find a trail of breadcrumbs back to your cabin on this ship, in fact you will be quite lucky to find dust anywhere. The food will have you full to bursting on a nightly basis, another reason they provided a full service gym with all your favorite machines for working out. Book your Emerald Princess cruises now and be sure to get your favorite balcony suite to enjoy the fabulous views on this wonderful vacation.
The Emerald Princess cruise ship is as modern as cruise ships get, and cruisers aboard the Emerald Princess are treated like royalty, a trademark of all Princess cruises. The lobby of the Emerald Princess cruise ship is a buzzing hub of activity, with a stage that performers will suddenly appear on, seemingly out of nowhere and without advance notice. The Atrium also offers specialty coffees, a wine bar, and a sandwich bar. This is the perfect place for people watchers to relax and meet other friendly cruisers.
If you enjoy a quiet area without a lot of excitement and laughter and childs play, then you really need to consider the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is an adults only area that only seats 20 people, almost every Princess cruise ship now offers this amenity. The price for a lounge chair in the Sanctuary is anywhere from $15/day to $20/day, depending on the specific Princess cruise ship you may be aboard. For those who want some quiet adult time this is a must, and I have never heard a complaint from this commodity.
The very first thing you need to do once you have decided to take a cruise is research the cruise destinations and cruise ships you are interested in. Since you are here, I will assume that you are researching for a cruise on the Princess cruiseline, but even if you choose another cruise line these tips will still be invaluable to you.
Emerald Princess also offers "Movies Under the Stars," a huge (300 sq. ft) flat panel rear-projection video screen and 6900 watts of sound power to show up to four different near first-run films daily outdoors above the pool. This was such a hit on Caribbean Princess that the concept was added to all the large Princess ships. On some ships they hand out headphones to viewers to alleviate complaints from nearby cabins.
Some ports of call may have to be canceled due to bad weather or time lines not permitting the stop. For this reason I suggest that you do not book a guided tour for a certain time in ports of call. Do your research and figure out what you want to do and see at each port, then wait till you are there to make your tour booking. This can save you money and aggravation.
While in the past the Emerald Princess has targeted the Caribbean for only half the year, things have changed for 2010. 2010 will find the Emerald Princess cruises exclusive to the Caribbean. |
