Let me start by saying that the Crown is beautiful. We had a wonderful time on our cruise to the Eastern Caribbean Apr. 19-26.  Embarkation was quite easy. We arrived by shuttle from the Hampton Inn Airport-North around 11:00 and were given a seat card for group 3.  We received our ship and sail cards and were in our cabin by noon. Called the dine line and made our reservation for the Crown Grill and also reserved a spot for the CHEF"S TABLE which we got and the experience was beyond words.  It is a must do if you enjoy delicious different foods and great wines and conversations with new foods.  I am not a seafood lover and the chef was very gracious to prepare me special appetizers.  We loved the entire evening.  We traveled with my brother and sister-in-law so we asked for second dining seating and a table by the window for 4 which we were given. We had an excellent server and assistants and loved our dining.  Infact my husband and brother had breakfast every morning and asked to be seated at our servers table. By the end of the cruise we had become friends.  We enjoyed the Crown Grill. The filet was mouth watering and the staff very attentive.  Our balcony cabin was  quite comfortable and our room steward keep it very clean and tidy. We were a little forward but loved it and felt little movement. One evening we did hit a wind storm and felt a little more motion that usual. The pools were fun we generally gravitated to the Neptune pool.  The terrace pool, aft was a little too smokey.  We enjoyed playing cards in the afternoons on the covered deck around the neptune pool drinking Mojito's. All the ports were very nice. We spend a lovely 2 1/2 hour lunch on the french side  of St. Maarten drinking wine and relaxing by the water front. Then went to Front street and back to the ship. We shopped in St. Thomas and then on to relax at Megans Bay Beautiful.  Grand Turk was fun and we enjoyed Margaritaville.  Great d.j. and games around the pool.  On our last sea day we spent the entire day at the Sanctuary.  It was very relaxing. The lounge chairs just suck you in.  My brother and husband slept for 3 hours..  We did the carry off luggage disembarkment.  No problems.  From the time we left our stateroom, met to disembark, passed security, hailed a cab, check in at the airport, walk to our gate, this all totaled only 65 minutes.  Such a breeze.... All in all our Crown Princess cruise was wonderful. and we would cruise princess again.
