We chose this cruise because of the Itinerary to the Baltics and because Crown Princess was our first cruise ship just after her Launch in 2006. We sailed in Jan 2007.
Sadly the Crown has slipped badly. The ship is in desperate need of a major refit and has seemingly hardly been touched since we set sail on her, and what few things have been changed are for the worse. For example our favourite bar - The Wheelhouse Bar has been partly transformed into a so called English Gastro Pub and it is a shambles. They have effectively destroyed the Wheelhouse bar in a quest for more money.
The Theatre, Explorers, Club Fusion are all desperately in need of a major makeover.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Cabin bd
The Cabin was very dated and poorly equipped with older TV, very few power sockets, sticky drawers, filthy balcony with scraped paint over the floor and paint drips on handrail.
The chairs were dirty as was the floor on the balcony.
We had a power outage and it took several telephone calls to reception to get it fixed. This took 3 hours before an electrician flicked over the breaker switch on the cabin power board. The Cabin Steward Efrain Flores, tried his best to keep the cabin spotless but you cant shine what is worn out
Port Reviews
Brugge (Bruges)
Stayed in Zeebrugge - Sunday - Been to Brugge many tiimes
Copenhagen
used Hop on/Off Bus - Pretty City - easy to navigate
Stockholm
Visited Abba Museum, Old Town and Royal Palace by Hop on Bus
Tallinn
Walked in to town in 20 minutes. Old Town with pretty main square and very cheap
Gdansk (Warsaw)
We visited the much maligned Gdynia instead of Gdansk. It was very pretty and enjoyable, instead of a 1 hour coach journey to Gdansk
