Emerald Princess vs Regal Princess

[OccasionalSanta]

If you dislike smoke, you should avoid the Regal/Royal. Many people have noted the the small promenade area, which is also where smoking is allowed. 

 

Also, the casino area (Fiesta Deck 6) has a spiral staircase in the middle which allows the smoke to rise up to the Promenade Deck 7, which my wife mentioned (i.e., complained about) every time we walked through.

Emerald was the worst ship in Princess fleet IMHO. We were on the Royal (sister of Regal) and it was a great ship.  The crew on the Emerald were just the worse ever and felt they did not like American passengers.  This was on a recent med cruise.

We were on the Emerald for 37 days in Feb/Mar 2019. We did not experience this. Crews change as do the deck, hotel and entertainment staff officers. Some entertainment directors and CD's are better than others.
