Crown Princess Review

Additional details
We seemed to have very good luck according the natives of the Baltics. We had sun and relatively mild weather the entire trip with temps ranging from 58 to 67 degrees (F) from May 20 to May 30.
First Great Point...Princess Cruises and the Staff of the Crown Princess were exceptional and well organized. We booked our entire vacation with Princess and we found the entire experience stress free and the organization well managed in the Baltics. Besides the body floating next to the cruise ship in St. Petersburg, the entire voyage was exciting and we found the crew, shipboarding dining/entertainment, and cruisetours excellent!
We actually arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark 2 days early on Sunday, May 18. Princess representatives met us at the airport in Baggage Claim and escorted us through the terminal to the Mercedes Benz taxi to the Hotel (SAS Radisson Royal Hotel next to Tivoli Park). While we did get slight drizzle for a few hours on Monday, the Sun rose early (between 4:30 AM to 5:00 AM every morning) and set late (between 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM). We had perfect weather as this region normally gets 30 days of Full Sun without rain per the tour guides. Tours and discount attraction tickets from Princess were available in the Lobby of the Royal Hotel.
Cabin Review
Balcony
BB Class Cabin has ample suitecase and storage space. Balcony is one of largest for class (double the size of regular balcony) without going to mini-suite. In fact, Balcony is larger than mini suites on Dophin Deck and half covered/half open allowing for ample sun and shade while outside. Service from stateroom attendant was excellent as Irma (out attendant) helped to patch up damaged luggage and make us feel special on our Anniversary. The only drawback was that we heard as much noise from hallways and adjacent rooms when balcony or stateroom doors were closed (it was noisier than being at a Disney resort except our cruise had only 6 (six) teenagers. Bathroom was adequate although the shower had a flimsy magnet holding the curtain inside and we occasionally had water on the bathroom floor from the shower.
