Wanted to visit the North Cape during the Summer Solstice. The weather was mostly good but cold in the Artic, so take a range of clothes. We really loved the scenery and the cruise exceeded our expectations in the beauty of the surroundings.
We enjoyed the food and the staff onboard were excellent. The International Cafe was well used but we did not like the layout and thought the addition of ...
Our second cruise to Norway but this was slightly longer than previously and visited ports we hadn't seen before.
Embarkation was quick and efficient and disembarkation was a breeze. Never on any previous cruise have I experienced such a painless disembarkation. In the past there have almost been fights breaking out it was such a shambles. Not so on this occasion. Brilliant.

HI Bruadair, we're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your recent Crown Princess voyage! Skjolden is one of our favorite stops as well, it's a beautiful sight....
choose this ship, had the places I wanted to go to besides being a great ship. housekeeping was excellent, two shows were fantastic on this trip, was B/B for us 28 days. Summer Solstice in Norway was great to see & feel. The ship is clean, still feels up to date, been on lots of ships, maybe 25-30 without being double on any so know some of what I speak. The ports were everything I'd hoped & ...
We chose this cruise because it visited many of the places that we wanted to see and we were not disappointed. Embarkation and disembarkation both went very smooth and staff couldn't have been more helpful.
Our cabin was a disabled one and was extremely clean and comfortable and well situated for us on the Lido deck making it easy to get outside to the pool areas and Horizon court dining ...
Had circled this cruise as a possibility when I rcvd the Princess Cruise atlas. Inquired and told all verandas were sold out and thought price was high. Then in a last minute special e-mail I get from Princess price was lowered and then 1 week later lowered again. Bked at a good price a partially obstructed cabin on E deck. Knew the Crown in need of work and since was round trip South Hampton ...
This was a 14 day cruise from Southampton to Northkapp and the Fjords between. We have wanted to visit the Fjords in Norway and chose this cruise because of its itinerary. Our cabin was nice and the steward was most helpful to us. Our luggage was delivered the fastest of any cruises we have been on. We enjoyed our balcony. Overall though, we felt the ship was in need of refurbishment and ...
I chose this cruise because of the itinerary. The only good thing about the cruise. Trips off the ship were far too expensive. One trip Princess was charging 149 US Dollars and it was done locally for 52 US Dollars. A rather large profit for Princess! The times of arrival and departure in port was changed from that on itinerary so lost time in some of the ports. Food in food court on deck 16 was ...
we chose this cruise because the itinerary, mostly to see fjords and they did not disapointed us.
But the excursions we chose have been disappointing and description in brochure was misleading. there were quite a few people on board who probably were sick but nor information or warning except to wash hands. and in the end of the trip
we got it too, fortunately on the very last day. Wonder ...
Over the past few years we have been cruising our way up the Norwegian coast with various cruise lines, the itinerary deciding which cruise to take. However, this year's preferred cruise was fully booked so the next option was Crown Princess, oh what a mistake we should have taken this year out.
Embarkation at Southampton was chaotic with a total lack of interest from ship's staff on boarding ...
My wife wanted to go to the North Cape.
North Cape was excellent as were Trondheim , Flaam and Skoldjen . Less impressed with Tromso (closed on Sundays it seems ) and a random island stop by tender. Bergen visit was extremely curtailed due to cautious captain and a spurious tale about just finding out about the 2017 Round the Island race so can't really comment on that one . Set off for ...
