We just returned from a 7 day cruise on the Crown Princess. In no particular order:

Size - This ship is pretty much the same as other Grand class except they've added an additional deck which means 600 more passengers. But the public facilities remain the same .. theater, dining rooms, bars, buffet. We could sense the crowd. We also talked with some senior crew and were given to understand they added just 25 more crew. While it wasn't bad for a Caribbean event where folks are scattered to the winds, on a transoceanic cruise it would have been miserable. People would have to line-up 30 minutes in advance to get into the theater. Bottom line - ok for a short cruise, but not for a long one.

Debark - one of the smoothest we've encountered. People queued in various public rooms, then went from there. We even noticed a crew member asking people not to cluster in the main passageways - that's refreshing to see the crew ask people to move about and not jam up.
