Review summary

We took the 7 nights Southern Caribben cruise on the Crown Princess. The ship was beautiful and very big. It holds 3100+ passengers and over 1100 crew memebers. There was no shortage of people there to help w/whatever you needed. I traveled w/my 7 and 9 year old sons. They also enjoyed the trip very much. We sailed out of San Juan, PR. We stopped in Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, St. Maarteen, and St. Thomas, V.I.

This is one of my favorite islands in the caribbean. I've vacationed there b/4 staying for a week. If you haven't been to St. Maarteen...go. Great shopping for jewelry.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5

Pros: I like the anytime formal dining b/c you were not tied to going to dinner at the same time everynight. Anytime dining allows you the freedom to dine from 5:30 - 10 pm for formal dinings.

Cons: There wasn't a lot of cons. The only thing I can think of is they need to offer turkey sausage or bacon for breakfast for people who do not eat pork.

Recommends Crown Princess? Yes!
