Review summary

This was our first Princess cruise. Their slogan "Come back New" is a great way to describe them. I felt very relaxed on board it was a laid back relaxing cruise. Enjoyed the Movies under the Stars very much and loved the added perks like nice cushions on chairs for the movies and bringing around popcorn for everyone.❤ Will definitely cruise Princess again. Our only complaint is a lot of activities are for much older people (but understand that Princess has older guests generally) We really enjoyed it,looking at cruising to Hawaii on Princess❤⚓🛳😊

Food and Dining

All the food from the main dining room to the buffet was Great! We really lived the International Cafe area for a quick lite bite the sandwiches and salads were very good and always served with a smile. Excellent service in Dining room as well! Loved tea time in dining room and even got to enjoy it at the Sanctuary one afternoon!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is older but it really is being maintained in our opinion. We liked the layout and finding our way around was easy! Loved the decor of the ship all of the beautiful wood around the ship. The teak wood chairs on the side decks were beautiful, hubby works with teak ❤⚓🛳

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an interior cabin,which was plenty of room for us! The cabin steward was so attentive, called us by name and spoke to us asking how everything was ,even how dinner was,ice in our room everyday as well as extra towels everyday❤

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. The Crown is our favourite ship.

We have friends on the Crown now. Can't wait to see pictures and hear about their experience too. So glad yours was great. We've never sailed on Princess, but will be our next one. We just have to decide which one, when and where.

We feel the same way! We booked the 15 day cruise to Hawaii in Feb 2021, something to look forward too. Happy cruising!
