Sapphire Princess Ship Tour

[@LoyaFrostwind]

I took the Sapphire Princess to Mexico in 2009. It was very nice! The pools/spas and afternoon tea were my favorite parts.

[@mildredtolbert9671]

Thanks for the awesome video. I have been on several Princess cruises and loved them all. However I was hesitant to get on the older ships. This video proves that the older ships are just as lovely as the newer class of ships. 🤗

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Mildred! Thanks so much for your comment. Yep that definitely is one of my favourite things about Princess, all their ships are very similar and just as good! The main difference is the older ones have smaller atriums but that's about it. Golden Princess is one of my favourites and she's pretty old by ship standards. Thanks for commenting!

[@brighteyes6729]

I saw a you tube video of this ship in February 2020 and they showed the rooms were falling apart and showed the metal inside the cabin deteriorating rusted makes a little Nervous. Does anyone have any insight about the cabins they have stayed in. That video is a must see.

I remember cruising on this ship in Alaska in summer of 2007. I was 8 at the time. I can still recognize some of the places on the ship!

[@bigj3346]

Love the Sapphire Princess. Cruised on her twice.

[@EmmaCruises]

Glad to hear it! Me too 😎💕

[@jimmynguyen5387]

Thanks for the video, was looking at Asia area cruises, and this ship popped up, so glad someone made a video to give me a look. Seems rather nice!

[@carishields7834]

Emma !!!!! Booking her for Alaska 2022 and just looking for videos lovely to know you love it !

[@EmmaCruises]

Yesss!!!!! 😄😄😄😅

[@lobby9386]

This was a cruise I’ve beeennnn on!!!!

[@PenskeCup]

Going on this beauty in June- July! Thanks for such a great video and I'm looking forward to cruise on princess again!

[@frankmat]

Excellent video! Thanks a lot! Nice to know there are younger people on the cruise as well. I am going to be on this ship in January from Singapore and can't wait! It will be my first cruise.

[@EmmaCruises]

Oh absolutely! That'll be amazing. I cruised out of Singapore on the Golden Princess and it was incredible. Thanks for your comment.

[@doug_hardman]

Hi Emma We spent 50 days on the Sapphire, great ship. Your tour brought back so many wonderful memories, thanks

[@EmmaCruises]

50 days! Oh my. I am so so envious. Glad you loved her 😁💕

[@juliewilson3237]

I think of all the main ships out there ,I think Princess would be the best for my husband and me ! It looks lovely but not too wild and lots of ways to just relax .Seems perfect .Loved this video , as usual Emma. X

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Julie! Yep that's exactly what I love. Lots going on that I like (movies, quizzes, Zumba!) but not too but that it's crazy busy. Great food and service too. Probably the line I feel most at home on 😋👍🏼

[@sashiprasad4179]

Been on the Sapphire last year in October to U S Coastal really enjoyed

[@terryhays2071]

Going on Sapphire Princess in October to Hawaii. Hope you have a grand summer. Fred Hays

Another great video, so deserved a sub. I’m mid 40’s, looking to try cruising. But have been worried about wether it would be good for a guy my age. I think I’m sold ! Thank you.

"When I'm sixty-four" (which is now), it's nice to hear your mum is such a Beatles fan.

[@EmmaCruises]

Absolutely! That's why she loved going to Liverpool so much :)

Nice tour, and beautiful ship, Emma! No more walking into doors, ok? So cute.

Hey Susan! It's really hard to film and walk sometimes... 😂😂 Thanks for commenting 😋👍🏼

Thanks Emma. Regards from Australia 🤓🇬🇧

[@theubercruisers5199]

Going on her sister ship, The Diamond Princess in July. Back to Japan for a 16 night cruise.... can't wait!

[@EmmaCruises]

Woah sounds incredible!! Fun fact! The diamond and sapphire actually switched names during construction 😋👍🏼 thanks for your comment.

[@video4myclasses]

My first cruise was on this ship when it was pretty new!

[@aquietlifewithme689]

We're going on her in July around the Fjords. Cannot wait!

[@EmmaCruises]

Very very very envious! Have the best time. Have you been to the Fjords before!? They're incredible.

thanks for the tour the subtitle for "sanctuary" is misspelled "santuary" in several places

[@InnocentsAbroad]

Loved your tour, Emma. It’s funny because your comment regarding the 🍪.... is one thing my better half thoroughly loves about Princess (seriously, she prefers Celebrity but I can get her to go on Princess partially because of the cookies/food 😜) They are certainly a step above in this regard and the best at sea as you mention. Reviewing your video again because we are on Sapphire in Asia, Singapore to Shanghai in May. Again, a very nice job on your video.

[@EmmaCruises]

Thank you loads! I loveeeeee those cookies 😂👌

[@PenskeCup]

Have you been on another Princess cruse since this? I went on regal and this seems like there's more to do!

[@EmmaCruises]

Yess was on Sky and then Emerald most recently ❤️❤️

[@brighteyes6729]

Did you cruise south America 31 days Andes & Cape horn grand

[@rosethefirechieftess1683]

I am going to be on her in a little more than 2 months time!

[@Nicole-me5ee]

Hi, can anyone tell me, how the internet works on the ship on my mobile, does whats app work and streaming? thank you

[@router1953]

When the Sapphire is sailing out of Melbourne for the 2020/21 season the Churchill Lounge be smoke free.

[@EmmaCruises]

Ooo really? Why? Didn't realise it ever changed. Thanks for commenting! 😁👍🏼

[@router1953]

@@EmmaCruises Its one of the conditions of sailing out of Australian ports. the Law in Australia prohibits smoking in public buildings and they class ships as public buildings. When the Sapphire finishes its Australian season smoking will be allowed the Churchill Lounge again.

[@EmmaCruises]

@@router1953 ooo! That is the law in the UK too though? Surprised were allowed when sailing from UK haha. Thanks for your info! Interesting 😁👍🏼

I'm very envious! Where did you cruise?

[@zerfetzeln]

hi emma, can you make a nice video of the last party in the atrium with the balloon drop? That would be great!! best regards

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Tom! I'm genuinely starting to wonder if this is some kinda fetish... I get asked about this so so much but don't understand why!? 😂

@@EmmaCruises What do you mean??? There is a fetish people watching while dancing? how are you lol on it. we find the last party of the cruise is just the best and funniest that's why we asked her. best regards

[@chestersmum4158]

Thank you looking at booking a cruise on this ship, have seen a few negatives reviews . Glad I can see it for myself

[@td4812]

Should I take the cabin right next to the pizza place?

[@Donsfamilyvacations]

what were your ports of call Emma?

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Don I just visited Sapphire Princess for the day so Southampton to Southampton ;) Or do you mean the Asia or British Isles cruise? Thanks for commenting! I always feel like we have a celeb in the room when you comment haha.

[@Donsfamilyvacations]

@@EmmaCruises lol ahh you had a ship tour I wish I was closer to port for those, Not many cruise ships stop in Ottawa Canada :)

[@EmmaCruises]

@@Donsfamilyvacations Yeah I'm really lucky being near Southampton! Feel like I know this ship anyway though she's super similar to the Golden Princess 😋💕

[@paulinar]

looks really nice, need to go on it just to try the pizza =)

[@EmmaCruises]

Absolutely! Definitely. All the food on Princess is great. Thanks for commenting 😁💕

[@reececollison5101]

Interesting how you describe the ship at 3:05 as ‘so old’, I don’t think I’d class a ship built in 2004 as particularly old. Definitely not this one anyway looking at how well it’s clearly been maintained and kept up to date😄 I went on CMV’s Columbus last year which was built in 1989 and you’d never know, it was so modern and ran like it was new! Such a brilliant ship. I guess it’s all about how well they’ve been maintained over the years😄

[@EmmaCruises]

Very true! Compared to the rest of the fleet she is one of the oldest is all I meant 😁❤️

[@barbaramiln8074]

CMV's Columbus was P&O's Pacific Pearl, loved cruising on her.

[@junipersages]

My partner and I just booked our first cruise--a northbound trip through Alaska's inside passage on the Sapphire Princess. Is this boat still one of your favorites? :) Looking forward to our trip, I grew up in Alaska and Princess had (has?) an excellent reputation there.

[@ginnysinclair3289]

What is the best time if year to cruise in asia?

[@JohnSAitken]

Emma my love 😍. There’s one thing you’ve missed out on your Cruise Ships comparisons and that is, room service.

[@EmmaCruises]

Comparison? What should I add? 😋👍🏼 Thanks for your comment!

[@JohnSAitken]

Unclear on your reply. Did you ever use room service On any of the ships? It would be nice to hear your take on them. I often wondered if one should tip the the person that delivers your grub.

[@brighteyes6729]

Did they also upgrade the rooms in 2018?

[@EmmaCruises]

I'm not sure actually! If you Google sapphire princess refurbished a post I wrote comes up, I think I talked about it... Maybe. Pretty sure they got new beds 🤔❤️

[@iangill8984]

I cant remember if you have siled on Ventura and Azura with P&O. Are they similar? Another good video, keep it up. :)

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Ian, nope I haven't. Only Britannia for me who is similar to Royal Princess, the aft pools of this ship definitely look similar to some P&O ships... So not impossible! Have you been on Ventura or Azura? 😋👍🏼

[@iangill8984]

@@EmmaCruises We have been on both Ventura and Britannia, We took my 'kids' on Britannia for my 65th birthday, just a short cruise. Emma, my daughter, said 'there is no need for that' as we drove in to the port because of the sheer size. That view changed after we had taken 30 mins to park and eat lunch onboard. Once she was sat on the sundeck drinking good value cocktails and my son having a beer and fried chicken and chips, both in shades, then they loved it. The boss and I have sailed on Ventura as well. The Ventura is a prettier ship but Britannia had better dining.

[@joshuanesbit]

it's such a stunning ship, I can't even tell you! it's like a nicer version of the azura

[@EmmaCruises]

Ooo! I've never been on Azura. Know P&O and Princess have some very similar ships though! Thanks for your comment 😎👍🏼

[@julietuck7284]

Hi sailing in October, do we need $ to tip or can we use euro's, I really don't fancy paying £249 gratuities

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Julie, I always leave the automatic gratuities on but it is totally your choice. Tips would be accepted in any currency 😁❤️

[@Mollylife-6666]

did you do a daily vlog of the sapphire went on her as im going on her soon ?

[@EmmaCruises]

Hey Molly! I didn't actually cruise on her I only visited for the day. I filmed daily videos on my Golden Princess cruise though, they're very similar. Hope these help 😁💕kzbin.info/aero/PLZINe6US8uzYC_1jM6PntVgKnyNorLJus

[@cubeweaver]

No casino?!

[@ErnieGamezOfficial]

8:57 wth is that? 🤨

[@brentseizer1019]

I dont like the Sanctuary pool on any Princess ship because it is always in shade and the water is rarely heated, making the water always cold. The Sanctuary pool and the small pool at the rear (aft) of the ship, are both Adult Only. That is one advantage.

[@PicaloOneill]

Rubbish or gimmicks !? I love miniature golf... ouch.... but excellent review and video.

[@johneldard6673]

Another gratuitous moment

[@marksalamanca7436]

Wow this ship is terrible. VERY OLD SHIP AND IT SHOWS. Whole ship vibrates, makes it difficult to get to sleep at night because of the vibrations
