This review covers the Crown Princess Scandinavia/Russia/'Berlin' cruise from 8/8/08 to 8/18/08. After being a CruiseCritic.com junkie for months prior to this sailing, I am glad to have the opportunity to contribute my own opinion.
Travel to port of embarkation: The biggest difficulty I had on this whole trip was the travel to and from the ship. Once aboard everything was worry free. I arrived ...
My husband and I just returned from a 10-day cruise to Russia and Scandinavia with Oslo aboard the Crown Princess. What an adventure! We departed from Los Angeles on July 7th for Seattle, where we met our connecting flight to Copenhagen. Our United flight out of LA was delayed two hours and we barely made our connection. After arriving in Copenhagen via SAS airline (which was very nice, especially ...
Great cruise. Weather was nice in every port we visited. Toured with Alla in St Petersburg. Lots has been written about delays getting off the ship for a private tour not handled by Princess. We had no trouble at all. We arrived in the main dining room about 6:35 AM and received a pass to get off the ship. Our group (4 of us) was called at about 6:50. We were on the dock looking for our tour guide ...
We arrived in Copenhagen three days before the cruise. We stayed at the Scandic Copenhagen hotel. This hotel is about three blocks from the Central Train Station and the same distance from the Tivoli. From here we were able to walk anywhere in the city. The cab ride from the airport to the hotel was about $50.00. We elected to take the train for $6.00. It was an easy ride. We walked the three ...
Overall a great cruise. Had great weather. Only rained one day before we boarded in Copenhagen. Excellent service. Was upgraded from inside to outside cabin. You can no longer buy liquor in duty free shop on ship and bring it to your room so bring some on in your bag. On cheap side, we made a sandwich from the buffet for lunch for the many day stops. Bring baggies. Excellent shows. Get to them ...
Dear Fellow Cruising Friends,
This is the story of our June 18-29, 2008, Crown Princess Cruise to the Baltic's -- Cabin # E 717.
We booked this cruise, (our 23rd) more than a year ago with our master cruise counselor who once again found us the best vacation ever! My husband is from Swedish ancestry and I am from Polish Ancestry. It was a great opportunity to actually see the countries that ...
CROWN PRINCESS - Scandinavia & Russia (w/ Oslo) - Roundtrip Copenhagen, May 30 - June 9, 2008 By Carrie Finley-Bajak
Background Information
One week prior to departure, I got cleared for the cruise. After finding a willing and able friend to join me on the cruise we scurried to take care of last minute daycare issues and to rearrange our schedules. Luckily we have passports and are able to ...
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 ...
My family (me, my husband and 17 year old son) joined our neighbors (husband, wife, 15 year old boy and 10 year old girl) on a cruise to the Baltic. They were first time cruisers, and were excited to participate after our glowing reports of cruising to the Mediterranean on the Emerald Princess in 2007. The trip started in Copenhagen and ended in Copenhagen.
Our friends arrived in Copenhagen 2 ...
We are a couple in the early 40s, this was our 5th cruise (plus a river cruise on the Yangtze in China)
Arrived in Copenhagen in the morning, used the train to the main railway station (easy 15 minute trip for 30 DKK, every few minutes a train) and took a taxi to the pier from there for 130 DKK. Put our luggage in the lockers at the train station for 40 DKK in between to walk around in the city ...
