1-10 of 56 Princess Crown Princess Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Alaska
We are a three person family with a toddler. We chose this cruise as part of a trip to Vancouver to see friends. Our cruising activities are limited by our kid, so we spend most of our cruises eating, walking around the ship, and enjoying some of the music activities.
Day 1: we had lunch and dinner at the buffet. Both times it was okay - good staff, no wait time, but food was pretty mediocre. ...
Embarkation day went well. We got to the Seattle Pier 91 around noon. It took 15 minutes to board after going through security. At 1pm our cabin was ready and we were in an inside cabin a few doors from the very aft of the ship. The cabin layout is very good except for the shower. There is no plastic or glass door but only a plastic shower curtain and very worn out. We picked an inside cabin ...
Having been away from Alaska since 2018, we were excited to travel north aboard CROWN princess for an 11-night adventure. We last sailed on CROWN to the Caribbean in 2018. We recall that cruise event as having the best food/service in all the Princess fleet we had ever experienced. Not to be the situation this time.
EMBARKATION: Went well. Well organized at Canada Place, Vancouver. The ...
We choose this ship due to the time of departing Vancouver and returning. We had been on other Princess cruises and felt confident that Crown Princess would meet our satisfactions. The deals and specials were our liking also on this ship. We got our cruise through a travel agent. Vancouver not too far away we got parking at the ship terminal which cost us over $300. for 11 days. But very ...
We chose this cruise because of the wonderful ports of call in AK and CAN. We ended up with fantastic weather which made the cruise even better. We had extended time in most of the ports of call. Our favorites were Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria. Icy Strait Point does not offer a lot if not doing an excursion. The town of Hoonah is close by, but transportation there and back was challenging (no ...
This was the third Alaska cruise that I have taken with Princess Cruises. We were on the Crown Princess on the Lido deck. We cruised with my parents and Adult children. My parents and my husband and I had no problems with our room but our kids room was ‘broken’. The a/c didn’t work, after 2 days of trying to fix it they gave them a fan. Carpet coming off of wall, gross stuff growing on the balcony ...
This was my 10th cruise, but my first on Princess, my first ever visit to Alaska and the first cruise that didn’t require air travel (which also typically requires a day or two of hotel on each side as well). It was also my first non-warm weather cruise. Seven of my previous nine cruises were on Carnival, one was on NCL and one was on Louis in Greece.
Overall, the cruise was very nice. Like ...
The evening I got home from my cruise I tested positive for Covid. As I have been four-times vaccinated, I am confident my symptoms will not last more than a few days. But I do have to question why Princess no longer positions a crew member at the buffet entrance checking the use of hand-sanitization (like it used to do in norovirus days and on all my previous cruises with the cruise line).
As ...
We joined friends for this cruise. I was in the navy and did many 5 day sails to and from Hawaii. My wife really wanted to go and even though I had reservations I agreed. The ship was good and the trip was good for the first half of the trip. We had some slightly rougher seas but they slowed down slightly to reduce movement. My wife has food allergies and the dining room floor manager did a great ...
This was my husband's and my honeymoon and our travel agent had arranged for extras for our stateroom. When we arrived NOTHING had been done. Also, while the room was kept up, it was like a hotel, no animals or anything made out of towels, bed wasn't turned back, no extras as with other cruises.
The buffet food was so undesirable it was known by the people on the ship as the "trough"! The food ...
