I have so much to say about this trip that it became too much to post, so I'll try and keep it simple and to the point.
My husband and I booked this cruise as a holiday gift to his family. It was our second time on the Crown Princess so we had a good idea as to what to expect. It was my husband's 4th cruise, my 10th.
Overall the service was below average.
we were in Emerald 618 -- the obstructed view was obstructed by a life-boat tender. You could see out, but through the lifeboat windows.
