We had our wedding on the Emerald Lady on 9/21, the staff were all absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe and having a great time. It was such a beautiful evening and the crew was phenomenal. Nicole was my cruise coordinator and stayed in constant contact with me to make sure everything was perfect. It was a great time and a great memory.
