According to Cruise Critic this ship has issues and many reports from passengers are not positive at all. Our experience with Princess Cruises has always been positive so we went along with the booking we wanted.

Always wanted to experience a transatlantic cruise. The Crown Princess was great. Entertainment was less than desirable! Food was good. Ports were great. Getting to the ship from the train station (Civitavecchia) was a very bad experience. There were a few people that didn’t have a clue how to get to the ship. The shuttle never stopped at their Shuttle Stop! We had to walk to the ship from the ...
We took this cruise from Rome to Ft Lauderdale on Apr 3 to Apr 17, because it was a great price. One port, Genoa, was changed to Livorno, Italy because a bridge collapsed in Genoa. Another port, Tulu, was skipped due to high winds, which was disappointing but understandable. We have enjoyed at least 10 other Princess cruises and we felt that the dining service and food were not as good as on ...
I chose this cruise because it was going where I wanted to go at the time I wanted to go. I cruised on the Crown Princess from Rome to Ft. Lauderdale. My friend and I had a balcony cabin on the Baja deck. I found the balcony cabin to be smaller than other cruise lines I have traveled on. The beds were in twin position and were hardly separated enough to walk between. There was no sofa and ...
Always wanted to cross an ocean as an immigrant to Canada.
This was our first cross Atlantic cruise, our first on Princess and the first ever cruise for my partner.
The boat was very good. We had a great time on this trip.
We were in Europe for 2 weeks before embarking visiting Paris and Rome each for a week.
The staff was great.
The restaurants were to our taste quite too similar. ...
If you are desire a long rest, a Transatlantic Cruise is an ideal escape. This was our first, taken on the recommendation of friends. The staff, food and service were excellent. There was an interesting speaker each morning for one half hour, no guest speakers for the remainder of the day. There should have been another speaker for an afternoon session, not just staff from the spa talking on ...
We took this cruise from Rome to Ft Lauderdale because it was a great price and I liked the stops. I wanted to see Barcelona. I was on my bucket list.
It was quick and easy to get on but very slow getting off. I walk with a cane so I took a wheelchair which sped up the process.
Our cabin E623 was obstructed view. It had plenty of space for 2.womens clothes.
We took anytime dining and ...
I have been sailing on Princess for my last 8 cruises. I have found a cruise line that is comfortable for me. This TA from Rome to Fort Lauderdale was chosen for the dates and for a Rome departure. Prior to sailing, I had read complaints re the Crown Princess as to bad entertainment, food and ship condition .Cruise director, Angela was always present and provided lots of fun activities, ...
We have wanted to do a repositioning cruise for a long time. Celebrity was sold out so this was our second choice and turned out to be second class or worse in the food catagory. One of my main cruise purposes is to partake of the great variety of food offerings usually available at formal dining and in the buffet. The Crown Princess food was without a doubt the poorest quality of any of the ...
Selected this cruise because of the date and location. We were very interested in seeing the various stops as we had not yet been to some of them. Getting on the ship was really easy and we had our card and boarded without waiting in any lines. The priority boarding arranged by the agency we used was great.
Unfortunately, the stop in Florence was a disaster. We paid $110 each to Princess ...
