We have sailed Crown Princess on April 23, 2011 on a Western Caribbean itinerary. We had a balcony on Caribe and an inside across the hall. This is a REALLY long review, I tried to separate it in categories so it is easier to read.

Background: 2 adults (30ths), 1 senior (82 yo), 1 child (2yo), none are cruise newbies (this is a third one for DS). Sailed most of mass market lines except for MSC, Costa and Disney.

Embarkation: Took early morning flight from BWI and were in FLL at 9am. Had to wait around in the airport a bit before heading off to the port via grocery store and Total Wine. No lines to get in and we were in the group 1 to board. Waited around till about noon for Princess to begin check-in process and boarding. After it all started we were on the ship and in our room within less than 15 minutes. Super easy! Read more
