Emerald Princess - Cabin E317 Is It Worth It?
Step inside Cabin E317 on the Emerald Princess as we give you a complete tour and review of this unique stateroom! Located on the Emerald Deck, this cabin features an obstructed window view, which provides a bit of natural light with a partially blocked sightline-perfect if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option with some daylight! We’ll take you through the room layout, storage space, and amenities, and share our honest thoughts on comfort, accessibility, and the pros and cons of the obstructed view.
From the sleeping area to the bathroom setup and closet space, we cover everything you need to know about staying in Cabin E317. If you're considering an obstructed-view room on the Emerald Princess, this video will help you decide if it's the right fit for your next cruise.
Thank you for coming along on our journey!

      Hi Mary, You might be right but I know the cruise companies do a great job legally protecting themselves from this behavior. It is very difficult for people to sue a cruise line but, to your point I'm sure there are many people that try to get something for nothing. It’s not nice but, that’s one of the many things that helps make the world go around. Are you a subscriber? We will be sailing the next 2 months to our last continent Antarctica.

    As a former sea captain Im sad to say that the QM2 can handle much worse than this. The QE2 battled 30m waves and the QE2 is a much more stabile platform. The captains announcements are more due to passenger related issues than ship safety issues.

      Hi Johanne from Quebec, Thank you so much for sharing your opinion. I kinda have a similar opinion but, if money or a budget is important to someone this place might be a good option for them. Personally, I would look for a different hotel. But, if I found the other hotels $100, $200 or $300 more than this hotel I might consider staying here again. The huge difference is I now know how their system works. Hopefully this video helps others who maybe considering to book here. Are you a subscriber?

    • @HubbardsJourney
      @HubbardsJourney 11 днів тому

      Hi Mark, I love it🚢51 Days WOW!🥳 You are going to have a blast! 🥳 Ok, let's get to that great question. We stopped buying the drink package years ago for a few reasons. 1) It’s too bloody expensive. 2) I found myself drinking more. Making sure I drank the daily limit to get my money's worth. So, it’s a Big NO for us on the drink package. However, here are some of the things we do if we want a drink and not spend a lot of money. On embarkation day we bring on to the ship our allowed bottles of wine or champagne and when in port if allowed we would purchase a few bottles of the local wine and bring them to the ship. We would fill our glasses and head out around the ship with our full glasses of wine. If we wanted more wine one us would just head back to the cabin for a refill. If we wanted a beer or mixed drinks we would purchase as we go. I know it sounds like a lot of work but I'm pretty frugal and drinking can get very expensive 😂😂 I hope this helps.

    This is when I would get off the ship and would never go even on the queen Mary 2 in the wintertime with terrible storms because I would be upset the whole trip because I would be thinking of theTitanic.

      I hear what you are saying and these types of situations are not for everyone. Did it feel scary at times, Yes! But, it turned out to be a blast and a lot of fun for us. Thank you for watching and for your comments.

    I would immediately think of the Titanic and I am glad there are lots of lifeboats on this ship.

    • @HubbardsJourney
      @HubbardsJourney 11 днів тому

      Yes the Titanic did enter our minds. But believe it or not this amazing vessel and crew made it comforting. It was like a free shore excursion paid for by mother nature at sea. An amazing experience. Are you a subscriber? We will be sailing the next 2 months to our last continent Antarctica. We will be passing through the most dangerous seas of Drakes Passage.

    Looks a great little casino, thanks for the video. We set sail next year. What were the table and slot minimums?

    • @HubbardsJourney
      @HubbardsJourney 11 днів тому

      It was a very small and very quiet casino. If I recall the table minimums were $6 US dollars. The slots ranged from a penny to $1. You can go higher on the slots with max bet in some cases $45 US dollars a spin. I hope this helps. Are you a subscriber? We will be sailing the next 2 months to our last continent Antarctica.

    In my house, I constantly every other month have to tighten the seat to the base of the toilet. Easy peasy. Thank you for sharing. I can't see me doing this. I like to be pampered :)

      @HubbardsJourney 12 днів тому

      Hi Teresa, I agree when we used to be at home we would do the same. On this one the plastic bolt was broken. I don't necessarily need to be pampered but I would like something a little more like a hotel. Thank you for watching and commenting.

      I’m thinking we used the S21 Ultra phone for this video. We still use the S21 Ultra and added the dji mic and dji-3 camera. We purchased it as a package deal called creator package. We also added the S24 Ultra and Iphone 16 Pro Max. Below are our amazon affiliate links to products that we have used or our friends have used. Products that we like for the quality and the value. This is a great WIN-WIN situation. You don’t pay anymore and we get a little commission when you purchase through our link below. We greatly appreciate you buying through our links below.

    I’m booked on a 7 day cruise on this ship in October 2025 out of San Juan. I was disappointed to see there is no running/walking track.

    • @HubbardsJourney
      @HubbardsJourney 12 днів тому

      You're right there is no official running track. However, Deck 7 is used as a walking/running deck as well as a sitting and relaxing area. If you are looking to have a relatively uninterrupted run go to deck 7 early morning or later in the day it has very little passenger traffic and allows for you to have a relatively uninterrupted run. We like to get our cardio in by running and walking and we are able to squeeze in a run/walk session on deck 7 everyday during peak deck 7 hours. Keep in mind you are only on a seven day cruise and if you find it difficult to get your run in you can always go to the fitness center. See our link below for the fitness center.

    Great ship but those arent 30-40 foot swells….

    • @HubbardsJourney
      @HubbardsJourney 12 днів тому

      Thank you for watching and commenting on the only ocean liner in service and the sea swells. I could see why you would say that. The camera doesn't capture what the human eye can see. I can tell you the waves were as high as 30 feet and in some cases 40 feet. It was a crazy 72 hours of storms. Are you a subscriber?
