The cruise itinerary is pretty unique, starting at Valparaiso , then around the Cape ,into Buenos Aires and Rio, Salvador and onto the Caribbean.
We spent 2 days in Santiago before we embarked, embarkation was an unorganised Shambles, a strike by Chilean dock staff delayed passengers getting off and passengers getting on - no input from Princess just very poorly organised chaos, and the chaos ...

This cruise was part of a longer trip with tours at the beginning and the end "organised" by Wendy Wu and booked through Cruise.co.uk.
The tour parts of the trip were a disappointing shambles so the cruise became a very important aspect of the trip.
We sailed from Valpraiso around the Horn and up to Buenos Aires.
Luckily for us the weather was reasonable most of the time so we were able ...

I was in a party of four people in their early-mid sixties. We all have a lot of travel miles behind us, both on land and on cruise ships.We decided to take this trip for the itinerary and historic value.My wife and I stayed for two days in Santiago at Hotel Ismael 312 in the Bellas Artes barrio. It was a perfect choice of location and hotel.We then took the drive to Valparaiso for one night and ...

I'm 'just' reading reviews from fellow cruisers, and I 'feel' I must add my .02 for 'you' to read.
I LOVED this cruise. (I'm a BIG OFTEN done this a 'lot' cruiser)....We were very lucky to be able to tender and arrive at all ports scheduled for this trip on time, etc. The weather was what was to be expected for this part of the world. We brought 'meds' for rough seas, but really these were ...

We are avid cruisers that have been on more than 45 cruises and chose this cruise due to the pre Machu Picchu excursion which was a few days longer than offered on other major lines. This was our first time cruising on a ship that carries more than 3,000 people and although many times the crowds were not too noticeable, when they were, it was annoying. The Horizon grill was so crowded, your food ...

Overall we are very pleased with the way things went. We were apprehensive about what we'd face upon arriving in Lima. All went very well. The Delta flights from home and connection for ATL-LIM went well. We delighted in seeing the lights of the canal across the Panamanian isthmus. In Lima, as we exited the bureaucratic entry containment area into the public reception area, there at 1:15am was a ...

I have been on 14 cruises the majority with princess, they have decided to do what the airlines do now and have numerous add on charges that make it difficult to say its a good value. The Crown Princess holds over 3100 passengers and seems quite crowded in the public spaces especially the buffet, international café , princess theatre and most sitting area's. I know that Princess has announced they ...

This was our second cruise with Princess our fourth overall. We cruised South America from Santiago to Buenos Aires. The itinerary was brilliant, varied with many contrasts and iconic destinations.
Embarking was not too bad around an hour, mostly indoors out of the heat, I've certainly experienced worse.
The cruise was very enjoyable the food was good, service was great, very attentive and ...

My husband and I chose this cruise for New Years Eve and the fact that it was sailing to the ABC islands- which all three were very nice. A breath of fresh air compared to the other carribean destinations.
The Crown Princess is old but grand in size. Not oversized, but it is large. It was a sold out cruise which makes the trip somewhat of a struggle. Our balcony cabin was fine. Nothing ...

We chose this cruise around South America because it visited a number of places on our bucket list and because our previous cruise through the Panama Canal on the Island Princess in 2014 was superb. However where as everything about our time on the Island Princess was faultless, this one on the Crown was quite the opposite mainly I think due to extreme penny pinching by Princess or what the ...
