Review summary

We had a good time and glad that we did this itinerary which we have never done before. It was a wonderful experience just to sail out of San Francisco. My husband and I came in 2 days earlier so we could do things in San Francisco and we went to fisherman's wharf and the next day we went to the San Francisco Zoo. The next day on April 20th was our cruise. The ship was nice. The layout was different. You had to go from one end to the other to get to another place. If you wanted to go to the buffet you had to go to another elevator to go up. If you didn't want to go outside. The salty dog Cafe was nice just to have some kind of different food and the buffet they had stuff. It's not big. But there was things to eat. The main dining room. I'm sorry to say there was absolutely nothing that we could eat and if other people enjoy that type of food that was up to them but it didn't have the cowboy steak that we ate and it was a shame because we really like eating in the main dining room and they had all this exotic food. I will. The waiter and Junior waiter were very nice and very attentive. The teamm ates who worked in the buffet were wonderful and did a job well done. If I needed help with something they would help me if I wanted something to drink. I have the soda package. They would tell the waiter and they got me the soda. I must say that it really was a nice cruise.

It was okay. The way the night table was set up we had to move it because it just wasn't in a good position.

Ship tip

The Crown Princess is nice. It holds over 3,000 guests. The layout is just very different and sometimes it was just a crazy way to get around. You had to go from one end to the other to catch an elevator yet to go to the main dining room was easy if you wanted to go to Michelangelo if you wanted to go to the buffet you had to go to another elevator. If you don't want to go outside. We just got around fine.

@Mtkurezer I wanted to say they had the cowboy steak once. My mistake. We did the best we could and wished they had steak more often. We don't eat in specialty restaurants as it's way too pricey. The cruise was great, went ashore for all 4 ports. It was our 2nd Princess cruise in over 11 yrs. I liked it and there were kids on board and very well behaved. Yes, we made the very best for ourselves. Would I travel with Princess again.. probably if they had good deals and itinerary.

Thanks for your review! A cruise is what you make it and you sound like a glass half-full kind of person rather than a glass half-empty. You made the best of a few minor downsides and enjoyed yourself. Well done!
