Review summary

Princess never lets its passengers down. Always focused on the level of service. We truly love each ship we have been fortunate enough to be on. Great layout and itinerary always make for enjoyable cruises whether with children or as couple and friends.

Fast efficient and access to the Platinum lounge Made it a positive experience overall. Great coordination and service overall from the time we entered to boarding the Crown.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Lots of choices on board with various options, times and the food was always cooked to perfection. Did not try the specialty restaurants on this this cruise but by all accounts heard nothing but high marks.

Crooners Martini Bar

4 out of 5

Love the atmosphere and the service from Lester all week was great. The only negative was that when the bar was near capacity they could use more service.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pools overall had so much to offer for various options including all access, adult only, and plunge pools. A few days the main pool was closed due to a technical issue. Once fixed it was welcomed by all passengers

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Amazing stage shows all week. The dancers and singers were good. Only suggestion was for more variety such as illusionists, other comedians and or magic acts. Seen that in the past but what was on board was good!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The people that we did have were fantastic but felt that the ship needs more people around the pools and bar areas for service.

Cabin / Stateroom

Princess has some of the best storage by far versus any other cruiseline. They were well appointed. And spacious enough. Never enough plugs but that is a given which we understand. Steward was always on top of things. We tipped additional because of his service and effort. Beds were very comfortable and no outside noise which made for a great nights sleep.

Ship tip

Things are never perfect on any ship however the cruise director(Corey) and his entire team were so great especially on deck part nights. We truly loved the Love boat disco deck party night. That night it seemed like the whole ship was on deck 16 dancing the night away and the professional dancers also got into it with a great show!! We never danced so much that night. Well done Princess!!

Must try Sorbonne beach. As the breaker is at least a half mile out causing a calm sea and only waist deep. Perfect place for wind surfing. Highly recommended and only 15 min. away by taxi.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We choose walk off with our bags. Fast and efficient.
