Review summary

Love Crown Princess! Would go with this ship anytime again!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Got out of the shuttle and had a pass thru! No lines! Everybody was extremely friendly! With the medallion it´s very easy to check in!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MDR was just perfect! Had a table for two in the Botticelli! Our Waitress was so lovely and professionell! Food was really good and big portions! We tried the Crown Grill - love it! Excellent food and excellent staff! Also Sabbatinis was very good and has fine food! Like both! The Horizont-Buffet was good for us for lunch. Not such a fan of standing in line and a lot people do not sanitize their hands.... don´t like that (not a fault of Princess in my opinion)

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Pools are very clean and not so crowded! Bingo was funny! The Party on the Pooldeck was so much fun - beautiful evening! The Casino was also a good place, but only one Roulette-table open all the time and no Poker with handholded cards - don´t like that and didn´t play poker because of that! Only seen one show because we had no time for it. Movie under the stars would have been great but way to loud - would have needed some earplugs. The disco was also cool, but 10p.m. is too late to start. In the evenings there was after 9p.m. not so many to do. The loudness from movie under the stars and the entertainment in the evenings.... this is my minuspoint

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Can´t tell too much because we only seen one show and this was a comedian - for me not funny at all. I heard he had many shows around the ship... maybe more different performers would be better. DJ was good and also the band from the Explorers Lounge

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

Brilliant!!!! Roomsteward was so lovely and clean! Could read wishes from our eys! Waitress was everyday great! Wish I could take her to my home

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship Design: I booked the Crown because I love that medium size ships! Its not to modern and not to classic! I really like it! Everything was clean! The ship just had an Transatlantic tour behind and many things were a little rusty. But this is normal I think. Nothing was dirty and thats what counts! The only really big thing with a big minus is the aircondition! Inside the most areas on the ship it was way to cold - especially FusionClub! I had to take my jacket everywhere I went! This is not healthy anymore!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfty cabin, very clean! Long ways to run but we knew this before. During the long passages when we had to go fast this cabin was a little loud.

Ship tip

You should do the Ultimative Ship Tour! You can visit the bridge, the kitchen, the clinic, the printshop, backstage theater, etc. Awsome!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Floating Bridge - must see! Went to an island tour with a TukTuk from Viator! Lovely!

St. George's, Grenada

5 out of 5
Private Taxi Tour - A nature you have to see! So much fruits and vegetables! And a great rainforest!

Roseau, Dominica

4 out of 5
I´d like to give one star extra! Did the 4-WD-Tour with Wacky-Rollers! I would do this tour again and again and again! Fun, going thru the rainforest, swim in to a waterfall! Our guide and driver was sooooo nice! Very good Rumpunch :) I give one star less because of the Downtown there. People not friendly at all and dirty! Maybe because of political differences (one day later no tourists to get in)

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
St. Thomas is always excellent! Did a tour with the Fastcat Captain Morgan! Snorkeling was nice, we saw turtles. After that we went to the Honeymoon Bay! How lovely can a Beach be? A dream!!! Nice tour, nice ship, nice people!

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Did the Stingray-Tour from Chukka Cove with snorkeling. Snorkeling was okay, seen nice fishes! With the stingrays it was very exciting for me! Went to another island to meet them! Grand Turk is just a flat little island. Didn´t see to much. Lot of shops on the pier.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Of course everybody needed to go from the ship, so we had to wait for a while. No problems getting of. We´ve done a tour before goint to the airport. We went to the Everglades and the Flamingo Gardens! Very great tour! The bus was icecold! I had a cold after that!

It is a beautiful ship. We came back on it around the end of Sept2019 through Oct 2019 on my birthday. We missed a few places because of hurricanes but the Captain and crew did a great job even though the Azores was canceled. It was a wideride at times
