My husband and I are sampling all the "mass market" lines. The Crown was our first Princess cruise. We picked it because it was a new ship and had a lot of sea days (We're in it for the ship board experience. Cruising is no way to experience another country, no matter how small.).
We had a great time. We always have a great time as long as we're together. However, we'll only do Princess again if an itinerary attracts us. This cruise did not set Princess apart.
