Emerald Princess carries up to 3,080 guests with a crew of around 1,200. At 113,561 tonnes and 951 feet long, she has plenty of space to spread out. Dining is a real strength, with complimentary options ranging from traditional and flexible main dining rooms to the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, a top-deck pizzeria and gourmet burger grill, and a complimentary ice cream and coffee bar. The International Café in the Piazza is open around the clock for pastries, sandwiches and Lavazza coffee, and afternoon tea is served daily. For a special occasion, guests can book specialty venues such as Crown Grill steakhouse, Sabatini's Italian Trattoria, or the Chef's Table Experience, which are available for an extra charge.
Entertainment fills the ship from day to night. The Piazza, inspired by the squares of Europe, is the social heart of the ship, with live performers, boutiques and bars including Vines Wine Bar and the piano bar Crooners. Guests can see original productions in the Princess Theater, watch films and concerts at Movies Under the Stars, try their luck in the casino, or dance at Club Fusion and Skywalkers Nightclub. Those looking to unwind have the adults-only Sanctuary, the Lotus Spa, a well-equipped fitness centre with classes and a choice of pools and hot tubs. Families are well looked after too, with age-based youth programs for children aged 3 to 7 and 8 to 12, and a dedicated lounge for teens aged 13 to 17.
