Review summary

The Crown Princess amenities were only surpassed by RCCL's Voyager of the Seas.  Our Alaska itinerary was the trip of a lifetime, and the ship's crew made everything just that much more.  Due to all of the early morning excursions, we only took time to enjoy one of the evening shows.  We found so many wonderful choices for our dining pleasure, that we made less use of the superb dining rooms than our normal habits on other ships.  We only had one bad experience and that was caused by a few ship guests failing to meet with Canadian customs soon enough to allow passengers to depart on time to see Bucharest Gardens on Victoria.  Accordingly, we were unable to make that tour which was going to be the highlight of our cruise.

Great variety whether you wanted a lengthy production or excellent live music in the atrium.

Must have been good since we were able to enjoy the desired relaxation undisturbed by overly active children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The crew went overboard to make us feel like family while still being pampered.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The only Promenade that encircled full ship which was very important with so much to see.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The large window with unobstructed view was great, and our cabin steward bent over backwards to meet our every need.
