We had an awesome time both on ship and on our excursions to the several South American countries. But due to few problems we incurred with the ship engines, lights,& air conditioning going out for about 45-1 hour while at seas, the embarking making us leave two hours late, and the disembarking taking 4 hrs, I’m not sure I will sail on the Emerald again! Other than that, the food was delicious, staff was friendly and efficient, entertainment was mediocre and we loved the excursions the most!
