We have sailed Princess a few times and like their product. The staff on this ship exceeded our expectations! We had the best bartenders of any cruise, especially Jackie in the Explorer's Lounge, Pablo in the Casino and Mike and John in the Wheelhouse bar. Our Waiters, Donald from the Philippines and Juan from Peru along with their helpers were stellar. These people made this trip spectacular! ...
My husband (John) and I recently took our son, DIL, and (most importantly!) our two preteen grandchildren on a 15-day holiday cruise to Hawaii aboard the Crown Princess. We picked this cruise because of the itinerary and the fact that we had large credits from the canceled cruise segment of our Alaska cruise/tour (three of us tested positive for COVID-19 at the last lodge), which had to be used by ...
Entertainment. Poor overall. Didn’t warm to the cruise director personally, prefer a more mature director. No decent shows, only went to theatre once and that was enough.
Food. Started off ok but got better as the cruise went on. Didn’t feel the Crown Grill was as high end as we’ve had on previous Princess cruises but was still nice. Sabitinis excellent. Buffet was ok but food usually cold. ...
My wife and I went on our second Princess cruise,. The Crown is a little older ship but still pretty nice. I was surprised that the average age for this weekend cruise was much younger than the Caribbean cruise we were on before. Clearly the cheaper weekend cruise out of LA was more of a "booze cruise" than the week-long cruises we have attended in the past.
The food was adequate, however in ...
We take a couple of these short cruises yearly to unplug and unwind. We did find that the customer service was not to the level we have come to expect from Princess.
Speakeasy Cigar Lounge; Usually there is a remote control for the television in the cigar lounge, on this trip there was not. As this is the only place one can smoke a cigar, it would be nice to actually be able to go in smoke ...

getting onto the ship was a little promlem having to go up and down on gang planks, but crew was very helpful

to and from the dining options ..... no ...
Our service was excellent. The food was very good. This was our first cruise. The Jazz band was very good as well as the other musical performers. We really did not participate in all the other activities available. We didn't go on any port excursions because we have already gone to Santa Barbara and we had no interest in going to Encinadas. If we were to go on another cruise , I guess my ...
Enjoyed our little getaway. Crown Princess - 4 days including Santa Barbara and Ensenada. We took a little trolley tour in Santa Barbara but did not get off the ship in Ensenada.
We had no agenda, just a relaxing time away from home with no cooking, cleaning or worries.
The cabin we chose was a balcony with queen bed. I like that each cabin has a small fridge and it was always stocked ...
My honey and I decided to take the Crown on a four night getaway. We had a great time and were very happy with our choice. Embarkation and disembarkation were fast and efficient.
We booked a balcony on the port side that was clean and comfortable. We couldn't have had a better steward. Unfortunately his name escapes me but we were in R520 on the Riviera deck. There weren't any amenities in our ...
Having flown in to LAX early in the morning, we were greeted by the Princess staff at the airport. We had about a 3 hour wait ahead of us so the staff suggested we go to the coffee shop in the iconic Theme building. It was nice to get a breakfast and have a break from the crowds (and construction). Once we boarded the bus we were whisked away to the port.
Embarkation went mostly smooth. As ...
