Went on our first cruise, went on the Emerald Princess to the Caribbean. What a lovely time, the most i have ever relaxed on holiday. Food was second to none with huge choices. Room Steward was faultless and very polite. Had an inside cabin, plenty of space for moving about and space for clothes. Only went on one organised excursion as this would be my only complaint, found that it was far cheaper to organise our own, saving sometimes over half the cost of cruise ship charges. Entertainment is great something for everyones taste. We had children on board but hardly ever saw them, apart from at meal times. Can't wait to do another one. If you haven't cruised before DO IT.
Quality of Food5
Ate in the Botticelli in the evenings and Horizon Court other times. Ate all different types of food, with so much choice you could never go hungry. Absolutely fantastically presented, tasted as good as it looked, with wonderful and polite staff serving you at all times.
Entertainment5
All comedians we saw were fantastic, only saw the opening night show as really enjoyed comedians so much.
Shore Excursions4
Went Dolphin and Whale watching in St Lucia, my only critism would be the price, too expensive. Organised our own island tours for rest of holiday for fraction of the cost.
Staff5
Noel our Room Steward. Was always polite and would always chat to you. The room was spotless no matter when you went into it.
Children's Facilitiesn/a
Did not have children with me.
Onboard Activities5
So much to do, infact we never got round to doing everything as at times we just wanted to chill out by the pool.
Cabins5
Can't fault it at all.

Did you use Spa facilities or were they too expensive. We are going on Stay and Cruise to Caribbean in Feb. 2010
