Review summary

Cruise was very relaxing and ship was not crowded. Older crowd but that was ok. Food is outstanding. Request Waiters Wirat, and Gede. I believe in the Michael Angelo dining room

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Didn’t do any specialty dining but, buffet and Amin dining food was always good

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Hung out at the lotus pool fwd. fitness center was good and almost never crowded.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Saw two comedians, both were ok. DJ “4-real” in the sky nightclub was very lame and boring. Seemed to not care about any requests from passengers. Now we know why there was never anybody in there. Place was always empty.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service was exceptional in the main dining. Room steward was also on top of everything

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was clean and easy to navigate around. Get the medallion app

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was comfy and quiet. Only down fall was its the other end of where buffet is. No biggie. Walk off your food

Ship tip

Hang out at the lotus pool under where the Sanctuary is located. Quiet but get there early. Few lounge chairs. Also if you’re a walker, walk deck 16. It’s the only deck that goes 3/4 of the way around the ship

Did private excursion to lighthouse beach. Try to go now because Disney bought and will eventually ruin it

Did the sea trek excursion. Worth it. When done, walk over to Coki beach or just cab it to that beach.

Pushy locals who want your money. Hired someone to drive us around island. Go to Jolly beach if you’re looking for a place to go that is close to ship

Did excursion to fort Brimstone. Very cool with awesome views. Paid driver extra to take us to beach. Black sand and not too attractive. (Forgot name)

We will be on Crown in 11 days. Looking forward to it. How did the medallion work especially for ordering food and drinks?
