Adriana· January 6th, 2026DO NOT BOOK. Much to tell, but so many words allowed. If looking for Christmas Market experience as marketed by Emerald, PERCEPTION VS EXPERIENCE. Itinerary was less than acceptable, port arrivals in the morning, markets not opened, minimal time to venture through the cities before requiring to return to ship early afternoon. BEWARE: Marketed itinerary per stop includes city tour (paid for in booking)+extra cost tour, time does not allow both. Was told by ship employees, this was a turnaround cruise, therefore times at ports due to last minute port authority booking, scheduling. Food/wine average, not luxury as marketed. Amazing staff to compensate for experience. Strasbourg highlight, can't comment on Heidelberg/Cologne, not there long enough to experience. 5 points given for onboard staff, not company service.Show moreTrip date: October 2025- KRKevin· July 22nd, 2024The Emerald Website would not allow for early flight dates to be entered when needing a transfer from the airport in Amsterdam. We were forced by Emerald's website to put in the sailing date as our arrival in Amsterdam. I contacted Emerald directly to attempt to reschedule the transfer from the airport to the ship, and was informed that they would not change the time of the transfer to earlier in the day. I then asked to speak to a supervisor to express my issue. After being on hold for several minutes, I was then told it was my responsibility and that a supervisor would not speak with me.Show moreTrip date: July 2024
- MFMark· April 25th, 2023It was not excellent but good…entertainment lacked they had a girl singing that was one of the bartenders and some bell ringers..tours were good.We had one issue we found out that people that were going to train station had their fare covered and we thought transfer was just to airport.both were 30 mins away from port.some people had their fare covered to train station .we had to pay 75 euro.this we found unfair.food was good and waiters were exceptional but rest of staff mainly cruise director didn’t go above and beyond.Show moreTrip date: April 2023
