While researching cruises, I noticed that many reviews that are less than positive are overcome by a litany of responses attempting to defend the line and/or ship. I'm not sure what it is about cruising culture, but people don't like to hear bad things about their beloved cruise lines. After the experience that I had, I feel compelled to come here and share my experience.

About two weeks before we left, I came across an article titled "Month-Long Poop Cruise Finally Docks, Promptly Picks Up New Victims" (http://gawker.com/month-long-poop-cruise-finally-docks-promptly-picks-up-1659472459)

This would be our ship, the Crown Princess. I kind of chuckled about that, knowing that I wouldn't normally go on such a cruise, but we had a decent sized group going and it was for Thanksgiving. We also had non-refundable airline tickets. We pressed on.

Cabin Review

Vista Suite with Balcony

Cabin S6

Spacious for a ship, but nothing special. We were supposed to have been met with a beautiful bouquet, but were instead met with 1/2 of a dying orchid. Our particular cabin was behind two door, which was nice as it isolated us from hallway noise.The wake noise was comforting to me when the balcony doors were left open, but may be too loud for some. There also tends to be more vibration in the rear cabins than with others. There is a limited view from the rear balcony when compared to side balconies.
