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 ...
The Crown Princess needs to be in dry dock for updating and renovations, along with their entertainment staff of singers and dancers. The whole ship, from outside rust to deteriorating furniture to elevators that had peeling paint on doors to non working balcony doors in staterooms - You name it, it needs repaired or replaced. The worse part was the lack of effort to correct problems. Our ...
I picked this 10-night cruise because the date spanned Christmas, and because it included four ports I hadn't visited before. I was a bit doubtful, because my last experience on the Crown Princess was a bit of a mixed bag. The good news: this ship has really pulled up its game, and the service staff were light-years better at their jobs than on my last trip. From cabin steward to bar servers, ...
We chose this cruise to celebrate our anniversary. We've had good experiences with Princess in the past, and we liked the itinerary for this cruise.
This was our second Christmas cruise, the other one being a couple of years ago on Celebrity Silhouette. Overall, we enjoyed this cruise (we always do), and I will try to give a brief rundown of what we found to be the pros and cons of this ...
This was our first cruise in over 20 years so really a new experience for us. The ship was older but our room was clean, bed awesome, and food good. Using the Medallion is such a breeze and this truly makes everything so easy for you. We didn't go to many activities as the idea was for us to just read books and relax. I do recommend ordering the water package prior to the cruise since it was ...
Positives: excellent service, delicious food in MDR, entertainment good. Staff were friendly and courteous for the most part and we enjoyed chatting with them.
Negatives: ship in dire need of reburbishments. Common areas extremely dated and worn. Cabins tired, but more surprisingly dirty due to cloth on headboard as an example being stained. Seating in public areas also looks dirty due to being ...
We chose this cruise at the last minute due to the very low price. Apparently this cruise was a 'late add' to the 2019 sailing schedule when the Island Princess did not go in for it's scheduled maintenance. There were 1,963 passengers, less then the full ship capacity of 2,100 guests. So there must have been several dozen empty cabins. We were not offered an upgrade.
The Island Princess is ...
My husband and I tried Princess for the very first time for this unusual 4-night cruise. We did it because we’re considering it for the Panama Canal. So this was a test. Princess had one chance to impress us and, well . . . for us, their customer service did not wow.
We have been Royal Caribbean and Carnival people for 15 cruises over the past decade (mostly Royal). We also took one Disney ...
My girlfriend invited me for a get away and it was a good time just before Christmas and I had such a wonderful time, one to remember!!! I had a chance to model clothes, eat the best food and food that that was well seasoned, to see some real good ,awesome entertainment and fun activities. Will make Princess my next cruise line. I didn't have to see a bunch of kids. Love them but sometimes they ...
We wanted as short cruise before the Holidays and this fit the bill. It was quite unexpectedly an inexpensive cruise and as the price dropped, our agent was able to get us a refund and then an upgrade to a midship balcony. The ship is older and was built to sail through the old Panama locks, but she is very well kept. The balcony room was a bit smaller than other Princess ships We have sailed on, ...
