I had taken Princess 15 years prior (Sea Princess) to this most recent cruise on the Crown Princess. I was stunned by how much Princess has slipped in service, food, and experience since then. I made a list of the positives and negatives of our experience, I'll share them below.
Negative
* We had asked for some items to be in the room ahead of time that were not there and required multiple calls to resolve; distilled water (for medical device), extra pillows, and no feather pillows.
Nice town to walk around in
The beaches in Aruba are fantastic. We rented a car for $75 (included insurance) and beach bummed it all day at Arashi Beach (rented chairs and an umbrella for a few bucks). At night we went to our favorite restaurant, Papiamento.
