I have been on the Spirit twice and the Emerald once and I would go for the Emerald every time. The ships Doctor on the Spirit should be thrown overboard.

I wish this had been a more detailed review as I have just come from 2 weeks on the Emerald- and yes we have sailed on the Spirit - and have had a fantstic holiday. The whole atmosphere on the ship was wonderful. All the staff worked hard to make sure that the ship was spotless and that the passengers were having a great time. That last voyage is going to be a really emotional one because the ship is just like a family. Ignore the review!!!! I just wish I could go again.

Shame about this review but it covers last year staff, entertainment team and maybe different ports of call. Please don't let this review put you off for this season because most people really enjoy it.

Your opinion is based on your experience, my opinion is based on my experience which in fact, I am entitled to express! Guess what, if it took me ten years I am still entitled to voice my opinion of my personal experiences.

So it's taken you 15 months to post a dated review. The ship's still going by the way , i was on it last week. Very Good it was too! I think it's a bit late to cloud people's judgement, don't you think?
