I didn't find the food to be anything special. I did enjoy the hot dogs and fries at the outdoor Salty Dog as well as the Pizza was good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Dining room was excellent as well as buffet staff. I was disappointed in room steward. Never around when needed and although we asked for 2 newsletters each night we mostly got one. We were 2 women sharing the cabin.

I have been on the Crown as well, and really enjoyed it. It is definitely a more relaxing experience than on other cruise lines. If you prefer lots of added amenities like zip lines and water parks, or prefer non-stop party and activities, then Princess is not the cruise line for you.

We've been with Princess 4 times and the Crown was our favourite. The staff were marvellous and the food was lovely.
