Crown Princess Review

Additional details
This was our 6th cruise with Princess and our first as Platinum members.
Arrival: We arrived in Houston Friday night around 8pm and met the Princess representative at baggage claim, and were put in our own van for the hour ride to Galveston.
Hotel: Princess booked us into the Hotel Galvez. It is a lovely old hotel, and very clean. The lobby is being renovated so you couldn't see the entire lobby past the construction wall. Ate a late dinner at the restaurant, and it was fine if pricey. Also had the breakfast buffet the next morning and it was good quality for the money. Next time I would arrive earlier to see more of what Galveston has to offer.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Standard Princes mini-suite. Uncovered but large balcony. Nice sized bathroom with tub. Comfortable bedding. Two flat-panel TVs. Large sofa that opens into queen bed.
Port Reviews
Belize City
Belize: This is a tender port. We took the ruins and river tour and met in the theater at 7:20am. Our group was herded to the tender so we would all be together. We enjoyed the Altun Ha ruins. Our bus broke down on the way to the river portion of the tour, and the tour company had a 'rescue' bus to us within 20 minutes. The river portion was a lot of fun -- and very wet at the end. Highly recommended.
