Good Points

Had a great time on the Emerald. Was a bit concerned as last cruise was with Royal Caribbean, no worries. A small and friendly ship with good food, entertainment. Went on Adriatic Explorer - excellent ports of call with good trips. Very reasonable drinks prices - cocktails around £2.70.


Bad Points

No electrical sockets in cabin except TV point. Hairdryer in bathroom so had to wait to use as mirror got steamy when shower in use. Other than that, no bad points!


General Comments

Plenty of activities during the day. Don't book trip at every stop - do own thing in Rovinj and Zadar at least. Venice and Dubrovnic very tiring especially if hot so take it easy on days either side. If going to St Mark's church in Venice go there straight away and try to get a free guided tour - well worth it. If you want to change tables in the restaurant you must do so by the second night of the cruise. Everyone made an effort on the formal night but tuxedos are not needed for men, a suit or jacket and tie will be fine. Most ladies dressed smartly or in smart casual for other nights. Be aware that you must cover your shoulders if visiting places of worship and you are not allowed to take photos either. Overall a great cruise - what a shame the Emerald is being taken out of service at the end of October.
