Updates from the Emerald Princess - 19th Sept 2015 – 24th October 2015

Hi Guys

I am setting this thread up early as in 10 days we will be leaving Scotland and heading for Greece and I don’t know if I will be able to get on the internet again till we get on the ship….

From 19th September 2015 till 24th October 2015 we will be spending 35 days on the Emerald Princess, Doing the Greek isles, the Western Mediterranean and the Eastern Caribbean.

(Then after that we swap ships, see my signature for our other cruises we are doing).

When I can (and if I can get on to CC :rolleyes:) I will provide a few updates from our big trip.

If you have any question about the Emerald Princess you are welcome to ask and if I can and when I can, I will try and answer them.

Hi

Thanks for this offer, we are on the Emerald next Sept London to Singapore, we are on Deck 8 Cabin E419 Mid ship Oceanview obstructed. I have googled the degree of obstruction but wondered if you had the opportunity if you would check it out for me - while you are discreetly in the area.

Thanks so much.

Looks like the cruise of a lifetime...wow! I'll certainly keep an eye out for your posts. We were on the Emerald for our B2B in Europe and will be cruising with her when she's downunder at the end of 2016.

Enjoy yourselves!

Currently approaching Santorini for their first stop. They will be there with an old friend of ours ...Rhapsody of the Seas.:)

Have a fabulous cruise.

Safe travelling.

Thompson Majesty and Celebrity Equinox have docked in Kusadasi and Emerald is sailing in about 2 hours late.Dont know what happened but from the AIS she appeared to "hove to" and mark time.

Ports so far

Looking fwd to your impressions! Perhaps you'll also feel inspired to be the first Kiwi to write an Emerald Princess review for Cruise Critic too :)

Bon Voyage...:)

Ditto!! Enjoy!!

The schedule had them leaving Rhodes at 5pm. Its now coming up to Midnight and according to the bridge cam and Marine Traffic AIS , they are still at the dock.

Stu and his family are "stuck" alongside in Rhodes - with very high winds. They may have to miss their next port - but not known as yet ( from his Facebook page)

I recall when we left Athens on P&O Oriana 4 years ago that it was VERY windy also in that area

Thanks for the update Barry.:)

They are now underway with the next port showing as Messina, so looks like Crete has been cancelled.

what a shame they will miss crete... that was one of our favourite ports... Our taxi tour probably had a lot to do with that LOL...

Messina was a sail through the Straits. They have now arrived nice and early in Naples. ......along with about 12,000 others:D

Ship

M/S Allure of the Seas ..5,400
