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 ...
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 for the itinerary. I was pleasantly surprised that only one of five ports had other ships in port, so the ports were not overcrowded.
The ship's crew was warm, welcoming, and performed like a well-oiled machine. They were entertaining, caring, and made us feel special.
We sailed in Club Class, which was stellar. The service was superb, the food was excellent, and we never ...
WE wanted to take this Cruise as it went into Deep southern Caribbean to Bonaire & Aruba. Beautiful places to visit. The cruise was perfect in every way - ship, food, entertainments, games & rooms.. Very relaxing with lots of Canadians to get away from the Snow..We are 78 & 82 and enjoyed it!! The ship decor & shopping & guest & excursions desks were perfect. Princess gave us all a shopping ...
Embarkation:
We arrived at Port Everglades, sometime around 10:30am, and they had not yet begun security screening in the terminal.
There were probably 50 people ahead of us in line. Once they opened up, and went through the metal detectors, we went to the wine desk to pay the corkage on the extra bottles we were bringing on board. Simple math seemed problematic at first, but eventually ...
My wife choose this for our honey moon we are both in our 60"s.
This was a perfect cruise for us, the entertainment was great,. the comedians did all clean comedy and we laughed from start to finish. it was some of the best comedy I have ever heard.
The food was way above our expectation, as good as we have ever had. Our main dining room table attendants were perfect with service, ...
We wanted to get out of the cold in New Jersey in Jan/Feb to a warmer place where we’ve never been before. We were joined by great friends of over 50yrs who recommended this tour, They’ve been on 10 Princess tours over the years.
We were particularly pleased with our daily evening dining expierence. Every evening we dined in the DaVinci dining room @ 5:15 & besides the great food what made it ...
I want to first thank you for the most wonderful time. This was our first cruise since 1968. I was in the U.S. Air Force for over 28 years and in 1968 I was transferred from Greece to Italy. We went from Iraklion Crete to Pireaus Greece to Brindisi Italy. Which was great but nothing compared to this cruise. To start, the agents along the way were all terrific in their information and ...
We chose this cruise mainly for the ports, three of which we had not been to before. This was our 19th cruise...third time on Princess. The cost was very reasonable. We were a little discouraged after booking, as there were several negative reviews of this ship. Sometimes I think more people write reviews who are discouraged with a cruise than those who were pleased with it. But I'm happy to say ...
This particular cruise has a wonderful itinerary! Plus, I like Princess!
If you are reading this, you are doing so because you are thinking about booking or already have on the Crown Princess. Rest assured, the Crown was WONDERFUL!! Yes, she is an older gal, showing her age a little but still a great ship with a spectacular crew! Yes, there was still a generator problem, not allowing us to go ...
