My family and I originally booked this cruise in 2019 to sail in 2020. Due to the pandemic, we kept getting pushed back. Finally, in 2022 we were able to sail! We chose the Crown because it was going to Alaska and seemed to be a more intimate ship.
Before the pandemic, the Crown was supposed to receive repairs in dry-dock but it does not appear that it happened. Even before our embarkation, ...
We chose this cruise based on the ports of call, excursions and cruise line reputation. Our travel group had multiple excursions planned with the hope of being off the boat a significant amount of the time. We were so disappointed.
The Crown Princess is a very sick ship - the vessel was running at a reduced speed so we missed two ports (with excursions) and only had a few hours in a third ...
CROWN PRINCESS REVIEW
We have recently completed the Crown Princess Transatlantic cruise. Unfortunately the crossing was very rough due to the effects of Hurricane Lorenzo and we missed two ports as a result. The Captain was forced to forego the Azores in order to go further south. He did manage to get us some sunny weather although it remained rocky throughout. I don’t think we will try a ...
We chose this cruise for the destinations... many Interesting ports & enjoyed what our excursions allowed us to see. Private tours in Guernsey & Liverpool MUCH better. As 1st time travelers to this area, with no knowledge of public transportation available, we booked the safe, guaranteed way of seeing the things we wanted. Many of the Princess tour buses were crowded, and my husband has very ...
We chose this cruise because the ports of call included some places we had not been. WE chose Princess because the value and service are always dependable. Our expectations were met with the exception of food at dinner in the 2 regular dining rooms. It was not very good. WE had Club Dinning Class which helped because we had a dedicated MaitreD for our section who made up for the regular menu... If ...
Chose this cruise for the itinerary. We were disappointed by the ship, particularly the Horizon Café and the entertainment. The Café custo0mer areas were small and filled wit barriers which made it difficult to find your partner. The food was not up to Princess standards, they couldn't even cook an omelet without burning it and the servers for coffee and clean up were lazy and bored. The ...
This ship is in terrible shape. Carpets are worn and faded, beside being dirty.
The elevator doors are all scraped and peeling.
Our cabin steward was less than honest.
The food was average and the same as all Princess cruises. Nothing new.
Cruise director staff was very inexperienced.
Elevators were under constant repair.
The entertainment was actually above average.
Wait ...
We wanted the UK cruise that also included Guernsey and Le Havre. The ports were mainly worthwhile, though stopping on a Sunday or Monday in September caused some unavailability of sights. (Dublin and Le Havre) Check your wish list and look at detail. We really liked our excursion from the Invergordon Port. We traveled by bus to Nairn to see the Cawdor (Macbeth fame) Castle. It is still inhabited ...
This was Princess' British Isle cruise out of Southampton with port stops in Ireland and Scotland. First the ship. The ship is somewhat dated and in need of upgrades. Like most cruise lines there are a limited number of outlets for the multiple electronic devices that many of us have. The common areas and dining rooms were well maintained and comfortable. Several of lounges on the upper decks ...
We where traveling with 3 other couples and had never been to Scotland or Ireland so this cruise made sense. Nice area to visit and to get out of the heat of southern FL. The highlights include, easy boarding and departing, staff being helpful most of the time. Clean room and a decent itinerary. Our Travel Agent went the extra mile in making our arrangements and helping with problems some of ...
