In 2015 she received an extensive update and refurbishment, introducing new dining venues, a refreshed gym suite, luxury furnishings and more. Guests sailing onboard Emerald Princess can now enjoy the delights of the Salty Dog Gastro Pub alongside the popular Sabatini's Italian Trattoria.

Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Emerald Princess
Cruise was excellent. Boarding was chaos, no one in control of large crowd. Had to complain 3 times before heating was restored to my cabin
Had a great time on the Emerald Princess. The cabins and everywhere on board was spotlessly clean, the food was exceptional, great choices served by very friendly waiters and waitresses. Great entertainment each and every day and evening in the theatre. Just a shame they didn’t make more of a sail away party as we left each port like other cruise lines do
Excellent service across all services housekeeping bar staff and amazing restaurant staff and incredible menu choices found the drinks package we bought an essential tho didnt utilize 15 drinks a day it took the financial pressure of as cruises are not cheap holidays found most of the entertainment excellent especially the singer Shenise and the group legends that were flown in were exceptional only critiscm the shows could of been at least a good hour know the princess has an older age group but not all in bed for 9 pm! We were told we would get a bottle of fizz or wine our cruise was retirement and 40 th wedding anniversary . . . . . the cruise ship should of just given us the bottle we did have an email but couldnt find it thought rather petty aftet spending in excess of 6300 for the cruise we have put a deposit down for 2027 cruise am awaiting iglu to email to discuss best package we also because of such delays ( 5 hours in all) had to pay our own taxi to Miami as taxi prebooked had to go as price was ramping up at a ridiculous rate we were three hours delayed at Paris airport then 2 hours on Miami airport runway as no gate to go to !
