We chose this cruise because it fit our timeframe and price. Embarkation was fast and easy. We used Park N Go, which I highly recommend. We were in the shuttle at 10:40 and onboard by 11:30! Very smooth! Our room was ready by 1:00 as promised.
We had an OY obstructed view cabin E623. Our view was between 2 life boats but had plenty of Oceanview. It was located between the aft and mid elevators ...
We had an absolutely amazing time on this cruise! We went with another couple and they loved it too!
We flew into Fort Lauderdale the day of the cruise. Rookie mistake! The first leg of our flight was canceled so we drove to the connecting airport (a very long drive) and barely made it. Whew!! In reading other reviews, everyone suggests flying in the day before and staying in the city of ...
We were on the Crown a little over a year ago for 28 days to the South Pacific and loved the ship. So we decided to go again on the Crown. Granted it was only a 5 day cruise. We assumed things would be different on the shorter cruise. We were on the Royal in December for 10 days and I think we got spoiled. We had anytime dining, but only ate in the dining room one night. The food was just ...
I chose this cruise because I wanted just a short break during a winter holiday in Florida. This 5-day sailing filled the bill. The biggest hassle (apart from one awful tour) was the nearly 2-hour wait for the Princess transfer from FLL airport to the ship. Once the coach finally arrived, the whole transfer/check-in/boarding experience went very smoothly and quickly.
I always enjoy the extra ...
This review covers the 5-day and 8-day back-to-back voyages of the Crown Princess (January 7-20).
We were able to book these dates for a last-minute booking (38 days out). Princess offered us a price we couldn't refuse, so off we go. This was our 13th & 14th cruise respectively with Princess (20+ overall) so we know our way around the cruise world.
Embarkation was as smooth as possible. We ...
Let me begin by stating that I am an experienced cruiser. I have Platinum loyalty level with Princess and NCL with multiple cruises on Carnival; I have also cruised with Costa, Holland America, Celebrity, RCL, and Dolphin Cruise line. This cruise was my second cruise on Crown Princess the first being in November; about 6 weeks before. We booked this cruise strictly due to price but I found the ...
I was very disappointed by the current state of Princess. In the past, the food and entertainment were quite good. This time, the food was very poor and the entertainment on the ship was not up to par. The main theater was full a half hour before the early show and we were shut out four nights. It is too small for the size of the ship. The activities on the ship were not very good and we spent ...
My husband and I had been looking forward to trying Princess for the 1st time. We had cruised on several other cruise lines and had heard that Princess was a class above Carnival or Norwegian. Unfortunately, we found that this particular ship was not the best food by any means. The buffet had the same selections every day, nothing was hot and there was always a long line. Sometimes had a hard ...
Last year we had to cancel three cruises due to medical issues. So this year we are hitting the ground running and what better way than a Princess Cruise. The price and timing were right. It was a cruise of relaxation and a chance to be catered too. The Crown Princess hit all the marks. The Entertainment and Activities were excellent. We enjoyed the both of the major productions (Magic and ...
Cruised on the Crown Princess from Ft Lauderdale to Honduras and Cozumel. We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We were looking for a short getaway and we wanted to visit a port we had not gone to in the past; Honduras. We previously cruised on the Regal Princess and thought we'd try Princess again.
Embarkation/disembarkation was quick and easy. The ship needs some TLC. Lots of rust, chipped ...
