Another thing is that after approx. 12 days onboard the battery seems to be dying. You have to walk up to the cabin door and put medallion up to screen to unlock. Learnt the hard way.

But do they really need to know when or if we go to the bathroom? lol. It is literally Big Brother at its best. Found it annoying that if I went to a bar two days in a row the greeting was, oh would you like another martini,

We were on it 3 times in the past. Just ok. This past Sat. Got off it after 15 days in Panama Canal. The buffet area since its refurbishment looks wonderful. Certain areas were ignored and therefore very noticeable on the ship.

Have to add that we all boarded the early flight but after an hour an announcement was made about something wrong with plane. We were told the whole plane had to exit. We got sent to the other end of Dallas airport and another plane was sent in. Finally landed in sac. Only to learn two of our 3 bags went to San Diego? Last night after midnight the luggage was delivered. Will think long and hard about American Airlines. Their customer service sucks. They don’t control the weather so I don’t hold them responsible for the delays.

Congrats. It is 6:40 am Monday and we are at the gate in Dallas awaiting an 8:14 flight. Can’t wait to get home.

Two things to know. Get to theatre early as seats get taken every show. If you enjoy trivia, that too you need to get to early. Many days people had no where to sit.

I looked up the plat. Insurance coverage we purchased from princess. Looks like we might get monies we spent because of delay of flight. I will send in info to see what happens tomorrow.

So sorry. We were starving when we got to Dallas so ate dinner in airport. Lady next to us recommended the Hilton homewood suites which is only ten mins from airport and provides free shuttle service. Today shuttle will take us to pharmacy to purchase basics. Wearing same clothes for 3 days is disagreeable. We finally got that 8 am flight tomorrow. The homewood suites is reasonable and included breakfast.

We did ezair to return home. I believe ezair would cover getting you to ship as well as home. we got a very delayed flight from ft. L yesterday and American Airlines cancelled our connecting flight home. All this due to poor weather in Dallas. There were no flights available Sunday, we we are scheduled for Monday. Two nights in a hotel in Dallas. Our luggage is in sac. does ez air help? thanks.

On emerald princess on non smoking side to towards front end of casino on left hand wall there are six machines with leprauchan. I played 80 cents and won 1189. Cashed out. 1000.. Yesterday cwhile flying out of ft. L to Dallas the plane got delayed. We left 6 hours later and they cancelled conn3cting flight. We are stuck in Dallas with no suitcases, no clothes no toothbrush etc and no flights today - Sunday with seats available so we have to spend 2 nites here.

Cabin size on caribe not bigger than normal but our balcony was covered and bigger than other decks.

We didn’t eat at planks from our friends did and they loved it. From what I gather there are a lot of meat choices. We ate at sabbatinis and in the past loved it, but not this time. Don’t enjoy latest menu. Could not get a single reservation entire trip at crown grill except for last night of cruise, so we did not eat there. I really miss my 5 pm wine at vines with tapas. I enjoyed that more than the plat. Elite lounge. My husband and I were not enjoying the wines onboard as in the past.

Just got off emerald. So many changes. Due to medallion and having a cellphone - no little foldout of ship when you pick up medallion. No maps given as you get to a port.. future cruise area has no more catalogues. This annoyed me as on the ships we read thru the cruises and make our decisions for future cruises. if I remember more I will write. no more chocolates on bed at night. No mixed salads in intl. cafe. But on personal note the one thing that annoyed me the most was I had several questions and neither the steward nor front desk could answer. They kept having to call others and could not reach anyone. we ate in MDR when the menu looked good to us. Otherwise we ate in buffet. Many nights, no green veggies. The salad no longer has black olives or bacon bits.

I believe it was due to the refurbishing a couple of years ago. As for the ships staff, it is the first time ever I have been on a ship where everyone seems to be new to princess. I have gone 3 times to the front desk and asked questions I had. They have yet to know any answers. We asked the cabin steward a question and he too did not know a thing.
