I have been in many cruises but this one has cured me I think. I could not wait to get off the ship and I have no desire to cruise again. I felt herded everywhere. I am sorry that Crown Princess did not live up to my expectations. Many other guest told me not to judge Princess by the Crown?? Lots of people I talked to were disappointed.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
The main dining room service was awesome but the food was not good.
The specialty restaurant Steak House And Pizzaria was delicious. The service in the Steak house left a lot to be desired.
The buffets were good - w many many choices. The service in this area lacked too!
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
The pools, the movies under the stars, the finess centers were oK. I was disappointed that you had to pay daily for the Serenity area. you got half day for $20.00 ?? 40.00 a day x 10 would really add up.. not a fan of feeling gouged!
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Liked the Motown night. Didn’t like the magician or comedian too much. Skipped other entertainment in Princess Lounge. Enjoyed the guitarist and a couple bands in the lounges.
Children's Programs
No kids in our group.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our waiters (even at wine tastings) were great... our room steward (Wilson) was great... when going to the main desk people were rude and not helpful.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Very outdated and stains in lots of places - including our balcony room carpet.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
Stained carpet - tiny shower but for the most part OK. Our Stewart was very good.
I was disappointed in the ship excursion. BOOK YOUR OWN. We got in a boat, road 45 minutes to St. John , got in an open air bus and road the island. No stops, at any spots??? I would not do it again.
Again - herded into a bus - driven to chocolate factory (a very rude guide there - I think he was the owner??). Then to the Rum factory and back to ship..
Nice tour of a beautiful Island. Worst tour guide here- She was a rebel and made her political views know to her locked in group. We saw very few Pink flamingoes, no wild donkeys and had to beg her to stop so we could get pics at the salt pyramids. I was so disappointed!
I definitely was disappointed comparing this ship w the other 4, I was on.
You do start to get picky after a while. Everyone on the ship were awesome
as far as taking care of our needs but it got boring after the main shows
which for the most part Reallly enjoyable. The entertainers were awesome.
The food got rather boring in the buffet. Same things every day. Two of the
ports were really not good but the other 4 were great. My best meal was in the
steak house. Do not miss that. I also think I am done w cruising. It may just
be me. My last cruise before this one was on Holland America. Smaller ship
but they had so many extra- nice perks to make you feel special. Everyone
sees things differently. Just my opinion.
