Review for a South America Cruise on Crown Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Our cruise was from Santiago (Valparaiso) to Buenos Aires via Cape Horn and the Falkland Islands in late February. It provided a break between land trips to Machu Picchu, in Peru, and the Iguassu Falls on the Argentine / Brazil border, which were the main reasons for visiting South America.
Having mentioned the reason for us taking the cruise, it would be remiss not to mention Machu Picchu and ...

Review of the Crown Princess
We travelled around South America on the Crown Princess in February 2017, starting from Valparaiso and finishing in Buenos Aires. The itinerary was the biggest attraction for us. We had only travelled once on Princess before and that was a sailing out of Sydney. I was soon to discover that there is a huge difference in the way Princess cater for Australian ...

Itinerary round Horn was the attraction and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Good fellow passengers being a healthy mix - lots of British, Australians and Canadians.
The crew were, as always it seems, excellent, cheerful, friendly and always willing to help.
Entertainment was quite good overall. The destinations speaker was excellent, humorous and informative. Cannot say the same for the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the older Princess ships in need of a major refurb. The casino is still smoking! If you can believe that and you can smell the smoke outside the doors, very unpleasant. The theatre only holds 850 people and many shows there were standing room only and a fire hazard. Some folks were very unpleasant and aggresive toward the staff when told no more room. Over all the quality of the ...
