Review summary

For our first cruise we had a great time not knowing what to expect, first two days was really choppy and my wife wasn't too good, but after which we had a great time and we will definitely be back, thank you Princess Cruises and the Crown team.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent , we never had our boarding passes due to late arrival from friends, but the crown team were superb and really put us at ease, just showed our passports and everything was fine.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We found the food to be of excellent quality if not a bit repetitive.

Onboard Activities

Didn't do many activities, played the odd game of bingo , and we won campers on the hoop game, but always seemed to be plenty going on.

Again a lovely place in which we did another tour, but this should have been a sea day as everywhere was closed ( New Years Day ).
