1-10 of 763 Princess Crown Princess Cruise Reviews for Senior Cruises from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
I chose this cruise last Fall because of the ports, length of time in port, and the sailing date. I had sailed on the Crown Princess in 2019 and was happy with that experience.
By the time we sailed much had changed. The Coronavirus was escalating slowly when we left Port Everglades so our major change was skipping Princess Cays and a revision to our itinerary.
As far as the crew and ...
We wanted to celebrate our 48th anniversary and we've always enjoyed Princess. Our experience on the Island Princess and now the Crown means we'll only use Princess if it is a newer ship.
We had fun on the cruise. We did any time dining and shared tables and every meal we met great folks, had good conversations and decent, sometimes great food. Our room was a mini suite and while old, it was ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary. I was pleasantly surprised that only one of five ports had other ships in port, so the ports were not overcrowded.
The ship's crew was warm, welcoming, and performed like a well-oiled machine. They were entertaining, caring, and made us feel special.
We sailed in Club Class, which was stellar. The service was superb, the food was excellent, and we never ...
Like the Crown Princess - gym is excellent - many cardio machines, weight machines and free weights.
I had never been to some of the ports.

Leaves from and returns to Fort Lauderdale.
Love the Medallion- love the “ on demand movies” in the room. - great variety and new ones daily !
I was SO disappointed with the food choices- but on the “ up ...
Embarkation:
We arrived at Port Everglades, sometime around 10:30am, and they had not yet begun security screening in the terminal.
There were probably 50 people ahead of us in line. Once they opened up, and went through the metal detectors, we went to the wine desk to pay the corkage on the extra bottles we were bringing on board. Simple math seemed problematic at first, but eventually ...
We chose this cruise because we enjoyed a similar Princess Cruise through the Panama Canal and area. We were disappointed in this one. The ship really shows its age--rust on the balcony, scratches on the elevator doors, worn carpets.
Princess has a major problem with communication. Most of the crew speaks broken English, and it's difficult to understand directions. But the pre-cruise ...
I want to first thank you for the most wonderful time. This was our first cruise since 1968. I was in the U.S. Air Force for over 28 years and in 1968 I was transferred from Greece to Italy. We went from Iraklion Crete to Pireaus Greece to Brindisi Italy. Which was great but nothing compared to this cruise. To start, the agents along the way were all terrific in their information and ...
The good:
Princess Medallion system is excellent, fast embarkation, easy room access, order stuff right from your phone app.
Ship based internet is now reliable and has good speed.
Caribbean in February is awesome. 85f and sunny every day is just what we were looking for.
Crew workers as always are giving it their best.
Loved Ford vs Ferrari movie on the big outside screen.
And ...
We picked this cruise for the itinerary and length of cruise. My initial thought was that Princess and Celebrity are about on par, which really is not the case.

Ship and Entertainment: There are lots of little hidden spots to find a place to sit and relax. The entertainment is really good on Princess and there are lots of little venues to see the entertainment. Lots of music ...
We wanted to get out of the cold so we booked the Crown Princess to the Caribbean. Our first sign that things weren't going well was that no one could sign onto the Medallion.net to get the internet and free wi-fi that was advertised. After an hour and a half wait and one cruise member helping, we finally got it. Before I go any further, let me say this was our 24th cruise. Our room had NO ...
