6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We wanted a transatlantic cruise, and Rome was an attractive port in which to spend pre-cruise days. Genoa, Toulon, Barcelona, and especially Azores, were all interesting ports. Genoa was dropped, and replaced with Livorno about 12 days before sailing. We couldn’t stop in Toulon due to rough seas and high winds. Barcelona and Azores were wonderful, but at least 4 of our 9 sea days were very ...

Selected this cruise because of the date and location. We were very interested in seeing the various stops as we had not yet been to some of them. Getting on the ship was really easy and we had our card and boarded without waiting in any lines. The priority boarding arranged by the agency we used was great. Unfortunately, the stop in Florence was a disaster. We paid $110 each to Princess ...

Disappointment - missed ports, boring activities and poor sanitizing

We sailed with Princess eight times in the past but this was the worst. The biggest problem was Princess does not enforce hand sanitizing of passengers in areas serving food like the buffet. Passengers were grabbing food with their hands as they tried to figure out how to work the tongs, needless to say many got sick on the cruise including me, my wife and the other couple we traveled with. ...

Ship was just OK - nothing to write home about. Bed was wonderful and large TV was a nice touch. Wait staff in Botticelli dining room was fantastic! Nelson and his crew were outstanding! Unfortunately the food was less so. Embarkation in Rome was unbelievably quick and easy - best ever in all of our cruises! Seas were very rough early on in the cruise and we could not make port in Toulon,France ...

Reputation According to Cruise Critic this ship has issues and many reports from passengers are not positive at all. Our experience with Princess Cruises has always been positive so we went along with the booking we wanted. Electronic Bookings Great web site that is easy to navigate and where you can do all your bookings. A note about payment for excursions. You can book excursions ...

We took this cruise from Rome to Ft Lauderdale on Apr 3 to Apr 17, because it was a great price. One port, Genoa, was changed to Livorno, Italy because a bridge collapsed in Genoa. Another port, Tulu, was skipped due to high winds, which was disappointing but understandable. We have enjoyed at least 10 other Princess cruises and we felt that the dining service and food were not as good as on ...

Always wanted to experience a transatlantic cruise. The Crown Princess was great. Entertainment was less than desirable! Food was good. Ports were great. Getting to the ship from the train station (Civitavecchia) was a very bad experience. There were a few people that didn’t have a clue how to get to the ship. The shuttle never stopped at their Shuttle Stop! We had to walk to the ship from the ...

Always wanted to cross an ocean as an immigrant to Canada. This was our first cross Atlantic cruise, our first on Princess and the first ever cruise for my partner. The boat was very good. We had a great time on this trip. We were in Europe for 2 weeks before embarking visiting Paris and Rome each for a week. The staff was great. The restaurants were to our taste quite too similar. ...

If you are desire a long rest, a Transatlantic Cruise is an ideal escape. This was our first, taken on the recommendation of friends. The staff, food and service were excellent. There was an interesting speaker each morning for one half hour, no guest speakers for the remainder of the day. There should have been another speaker for an afternoon session, not just staff from the spa talking on ...

We have wanted to do a repositioning cruise for a long time. Celebrity was sold out so this was our second choice and turned out to be second class or worse in the food catagory. One of my main cruise purposes is to partake of the great variety of food offerings usually available at formal dining and in the buffet. The Crown Princess food was without a doubt the poorest quality of any of the ...
