The Emerald Cruise Ship Reviews
I have never been on a cruise before and was quite skeptical as to the outcome of whether I could tolerate the seas. To my amazement I thoroughly enjoyed my cruise. The Ship was a Greek vessel and an old boy, used in the war, but had been thoroughly modernized. The... more

My wife and I had the worst holiday experience ever on board The Emerald. The ship is over 50 years old and should have been scrapped ages ago. Our cabin, 447, for which we paid an EXTRA £700, was rated as "outside premier". It was so noisy that we did not have one single... more

Firstly, to anyone reading these reviews, please do not be put off by the bad reviews of this ship and remember that often people are very quick to write a bad review and often not so quick to write a good one. This ship was our 5th Thomson Cruise and most certainly will... more

Poor hygiene on board resulting in sickness bug affecting a large proportion of passengers. Chanterelle dining room had poor choice of food which was bland, not up to the standard of other cruise ships. Le Bistro restaurant dirty and fly infested, food there cold and... more

Although showing some signs of age we found the Emerald to be comfortable with a crew that couldn't do enough for you. Went on overnight trip to Egypt which was fantastic and was excellent value for money. The city tour of Tripoli was not good value for money at £34 but... more

Cabin 737 is a superior outside cabin, it was tatty, but clean and presentable. Unfortunately, the large window was completely obscured by a lifeboat! It is next to the bistro on deck 7, but was surprisingly quiet. This is not the worst cruise I have been on - it is the... more

We should never have booked with Thomson, we travelled to Egypt with them some years ago and were disappointed then. The girl in the Thompson shop in Manchester should not have taken our booking as she did not have a clue about cruises and should have asked us to return... more

The ship was very good, the staff excellent, ports of call was excellent, food outstanding, and the whole holiday was very good. But alas the cabin was poor, small, we had little sleep, we could hear the engines all night long, the lady in the next cabin complained, and was... more

Again a brilliant cruise. The ports of call were very exciting (quite a few we had done before) but new on the itinerary for us was Antalya (Turkey), Beirut (Lebanon) and for the whole ship Tobruk (Libya). Beirut was certainly beautiful and the tour, even though a long... more
