Reviewer read
Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on entertainment.
Emerald Princess rates higher overall than 38% of the ships we track. Value is its strongest showing. The weak spot is entertainment — and reviewers say it is getting worse.

The one caution
7.3out of 10 for entertainment
Higher than only 31% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.60.
Of the 86 reviewers who described entertainment changing over time, 64 said it got worse.
Everything else, in two lines
Four are good without being remarkable: value, public areas, fitness and ship quality. They rate higher than 54% to 73% of ships.
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 63 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Seven fall below the fleet: service, activities, cabins, disembarkation, dining, embarkation and entertainment. They rate higher than 31% to 48% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.37 and 8.60. Pick on price and position, not on rating.

What we can’t tell you
- How it handles mobility needs

- How it suits families with young children
- Too few reviewers here described sailing with young kids.
- Whether it's good value today
- Reviews describe the fare people paid, not the one you'll be quoted.
