My family wanted to see places along the French Riviera along southern France. We were all celebrating my parents' 65th wedding anniversary, and we couldn't have picked a better cruise experience for all of us! The staff on the Emerald Liberte was just incredible---very polite and always seeing to our needs. We actually were on a first name basis with many of the wait and restaurant staff (Daniel, Constantin, Andrea, Igor, Tibor), and the Cruise Director, Simona. Zolton was the piano entertainer in the bar/lounge, and he was marvelous, typically playing well-known favorites. (Thanks to you all, guys!) The ship's staff also entertained us one night with several skits, which were hilarious!

The cabins were clean and neat and attended to by the staff at least twice daily. The housekeeping staff were also very polite, pleasant, and attended to our needs and requests. We've been on ocean liners in the past, but on the Emerald Liberte, it was a much smaller group of those on the cruise and the staff, and therefore, a much more intimate and meaningful experience.

The excursions into the cities were great and varied, and the guides for these excursions were all excellent. Getting on and off the ship was seamless and smooth. The food on the ship was incredible....a wide variety of foods to choose from at each meal. The dinners in particular were great, served in courses, and each considered specialty items from the chef on board. There was even a guest chef from France one night, who had been given awards for his culinary talents. But the overall dining experience was wonderful.

The cabins were very nice, neat, modernized, and attended to at least twice daily by housekeeping staff. A lovely room experience for each couple in our family group!
