We were on the Crown Princess and booked a mini-suite with a veranda on the port side. As such we had an excellent view of our docking and offloading and of any scenery going down to Mexico. Our dining was an early schedule at 5:15pm in the Da Vinci dining room. One of three major dining facilities for the 3000 passengers. Walk-in dining was also available after 7:15pm. You have the choice of traditional dining in the Botticelli ding room of Anytime dining in the Da Vinci or Michelangelo dining rooms. Specialty dining is at the Crown Grill and Sabatini's.

We had a lot of fun on this cruise. The staff was exceptional. Our cabin stewardess took very good care of us. Towels were changed morning and early evening. The entertainment was top notch. The excursions were interesting but shipboard activities were even better.
