The ship is going to be refurbished soon, and a lot of the wooden surfaces need refinishing, and this is an older ship than others, but we had a wonderful cruise on Crown Princess. The crew was wonderful. The Cruise Director did just the right amount of talking/not talking. The Cruise Director's staff put on a wonderful game show called Hollywood Hiccups that was the funniest and best I've ever ...
I chose this cruise last Fall because of the ports, length of time in port, and the sailing date. I had sailed on the Crown Princess in 2019 and was happy with that experience.
By the time we sailed much had changed. The Coronavirus was escalating slowly when we left Port Everglades so our major change was skipping Princess Cays and a revision to our itinerary.
As far as the crew and ...
We chose this cruise because it was 10 days, 6 ports and a good value. We also had only done Carnival before, so we wanted to try something different. WOW!!! We should have made another choice. When we got on the cruise, the captain informed us that an engine was broken, so we would not be able to make it to our first port in time. Well, that broken engine actually created many more problems. We ...
Cruising with my friends, all 65+ I wanted a warm Caribbean destination to escape winter. Due to weather and an engine problem that was known before sailing, we skipped 3 islands out of 5. Princess was nice and gave us credit for future sailings. No complaints there.
The food was mostly good to very good. Desserts were disappointing in the buffet. At dinner, they were a little better. ...
Crown Princess is a beautiful ship, but not beautifully designed, it is all very bland in colors and finishes. One area looks like every other area. Nothing unique or memorable.
Cold, cold, cold ship.... cold in your state room, cold in the restaurant, cold in the common areas of the ship. Even with the 2 room thermostat’s set on high heat, the room remained extremely cold. It is a miserable ...
First family - friends- we got along just really good,8 in our group.We could all get together like dinner or go in separate direction. We had out suite at the rear of the ship. Many of our activities were froward. This gave us our walks everyday. You would think this was a negative thing but was vary positive for us.We were getting our walks in without ever noticing the energy-calories we were ...
Ship is in need of repairs!!!!!! Rugs coming up all over the ship. Brass railings and elevators need major repairs. All the elevators are scrapped up and look like they were used as freight elevators. Balcony has excessive rust and not cleaned between cruises. Balcony table was pitted and paint peeling. Broken drawer handles in the cabin. Drawers hard to open and close. Broken door closer in ...
Weeks before the cruise I spent hours setting up the Medallion Class and Ocean Ready applications on four cell phones so that my parents (in D514), my husband and I could communicate and utilize the newest technology during the cruise. The application never worked for either of my parents or my husband. I was only able to view the stateroom charges the first 3 days of the cruise and then nothing ...
We did have 2 balcony cabins on deck 10 Caribe.
Embarkation was swift and without a problem.
The cabins, what to say about the cabins. The wear and tear is visible all over. The floors of the balconies were full of rust, paint spatters all over.
Modern travelers carry with them a multitude of electric equipment, like phones and tablets. There is no way to charge them.
There are 2 ...
We selected this cruise because of its itinerary and because we have enjoyed sailing with Princess before. We booked a Penthouse Aft Suite (C728), partly for the extra space and partly for the added suite perks. We are still fairly new to cruising (this was our 5th), but this was our least favourite to date. In summary, we liked the Crown (smaller and less crowded), but it lacks some of the mod ...
