Review summary

The Crown Princess is huge, but there was ample pool deck space and common areas for all 3,200 passengers. We never felt cramped.

Ports of call

Castries, St. Lucia

3 out of 5

Our excursion for this port was a safari 4WD to the rain forest and hike to a waterfall. It was a great way to see the island. The guide stopped along the way for us to see a banana plantation, a fishing community and gave us plenty of opportunities to taste the local fruits and make pictures.

Bridgetown, Barbados

3 out of 5

Our excursion was canceled at the last minute, so we were not able to see much of the island. There is some shopping where the ship docks.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5

Antigua was one of our favorite ports. The locals were friendly and not pushy. The water is amazing...every shade of blue imaginable.

Don't Miss: I'd recommend the snokeling in Antigua. The Big Banana was a great spot for lunch.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5

If you're in the market for a special piece of jewelry or a high quality watch, you'll want to shop in St. Thomas. The selection is overwhelming.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5

We want to go back to Tortola. There has been very little commercial development on the island. The natural beauty is unmatched by any of the Caribbean islands.
