Crown Princess - Reviews

See previous comments at each port and evaluations of staff and services. Outstanding vacation!

Best cruise and port cities!!! Full days touring so not able to spend evenings seeing entertainment. Also missed our early dining several times due to tours coming in very late to ship.

Disappointed compared to previous. Still had fun and relaxed. We had perfect weather and calm seas. Want to try a different cruiseline next time (this was our third cruise, all on Princess)

This cruise was well worth the investment. We went to several new locations.

Princess’ service is very good and they do everything they can to give you an enjoyable experience. This itinerary was perfect for us in that we had 2 sea days at the beginning which enabled us to unwind. Then, we had one “at sea” day at the end which enabled us to recover from the activities. Everything went smoothly and my criticisms are all minor.

Overall a very nice cruise. We enjoy the southern islands. The weather was somewhat uncooperative. We did similar trips in Nov and Dec with nicer weather.

This whole trip is one to remember. Had a great time, the ship was great, the Islands could not have been better, the beaches were clean and beautiful and a wonderful time was had by all

Cruise was overall very nice. Had a little trouble with the cleanliness of our room and how worn and dated some of the areas were on the ship but had a nice time. Hope they refurbish the Crown soon!

Beautiful ship and wonderful itinerary! We had great weather. Ship is really nice.

The cruise was relaxing and wonderful. We were impressed with the buffets. The service was excellent.

The ship is full of old people, many are very unfriendly and hate kids - they have no problem making some nasty comment to you in the morning and will ruin your whole day! Evening entertainment is just horrible with the same singers and dancers every night and the same funeral music at the Plaza every night. Half of the nights there were no single seat left for 7:15 pm show in the Princess Theatre, which is old and small. During 10-night cruise there were no magician, acrobats, etc. that you usually see on other ships. There was one band (Project 5) that was great but they usually put them in the smallest lounge with no seats left. Day care was closed several times for 'family fun' - i.e. you have to entertain your own kids! They have to be kidding me! The purpose of a day care is for adult to have some free/alone time and not work as a babysitter on your vacation! We were on Princess Regal 2 yrs ago and it was actually more fun than this ship (the ship is newer), although there was the same very old crowd with some nasty people. The food and service was good in general... In summary, if you are under 75 yo avoid Princess cruises all together - they are not fun at all. My mom (72 yo) who was with us on this cruise was very bored, and questioned all the time why would anyone her age would want to be on this ship.

This was our first Princess cruise but it might be our last - we have had better experience on other cruise lines.

Cruise travel agent, Chappy Chapman, was spot on with his comments and recommendations. We will follow his advice on future cruises. He is the best

This was a good cruise, after 15 cruises. I would do it again with Princess.

For a older, smaller ship, this trip was nice, room was always clean and fresh. Ship was well maintained.

This was my 6th cruise on my fourth cruise line. I feel this would have to be rated above the rest with the level of service and activities. I loved the Movies under the Stars activity with the large screen up on deck. They provided popcorn and blankets. NFL games were aired on the big screen on game days.

Don't think we will sail on Princess again. Just too many choices out there.

We have sailed on almost all other cruise lines and tried princess this time because of the advertised luxurious elite style cruises as they are typically more expensive than the other liners. We have sailed on almost all other cruise lines and tried princess this time because of the advertised luxurious elite style cruises as they are typically more expensive than the other liners. So we paid a heck of a lot and got a run down old ship. Usually we buy passes for the spa but there was virtually nothing to join on the ship which was shocking

Two days at sea were totally worth the trip getting down to the Eastern Caribbean ports of call. Each stop was unique and offered a variety of opportunities to see and do stuff. The Crown Princess is not a new ship but the updates have helped. She is a comfortable ship and the crew is fun, friendly and efficient. You are guaranteed to enjoy this voyage.

While weather kept us from visiting 2 of our stops, the crew was flexible and kept passengers busy with other onboard activities to make up for excursions we missed. The boat was very rocky but we actually had some great sunny sea days where everyone enjoyed the sundecks and pool. We did experience some sinus and allergy problems while onboard and noticed that there were lots of other passengers with the same symptoms. I wasn't able to buy any type of OTC meds to help. In the future, I wish that Princess would have more meds available onboard especially we weren't able to go onshore and find meds for our symptoms.
