Crown Princess - Tips

The Crown is a fantastic ship. I particularly like the fact that it's not gaudy, not full of irritating colors and not a carnival at sea. Instead the colors are muted, the wood trim is elegant and the crew and staff are well trained and extremely obliging. Try the Crown Grill at least one night.

If going to Glacier Bay, have breakfast in room & view glaciers from comfort of your own balcony. Park Rangers board the ship & provide narration that can be heard on TV Channel 45. Beautiful classical music plays between narrations & assists in communing with nature at this pristine spot.

Take warm clothes and binoculars for this trip

Figure out where you want to go in relation to your stateroom. Use the hallways that run the length of the ship to avoid excess stair climbing or u-turns. Order your omlette, then start browsing through the rest of the breakfast food available.

The cafe and bakery were the BEST - - everything fresh and the coffee was superb. Get a coffee card and you get an insulated Princess mug free!

The International Cafe is the best kept secret.

Nice decor. Quiet and serious cruise. Perfect for honeymooners but not for party people.

Go to Sabatini's for a quiet, intimate dinner!

There is a great quiet place on the 18th floor, Skywalker lounge. Great view!

If you have anytime dining, call first thing in the morning to make a reservation at the dining room.

For the fastest move between decks use stairs, or go to mid-ships elevators for quickest response to your button pushing.

I like the Skywalker Lounge , great view from up there.

Pay attention to sunset/sunrise, they were very beautiful.

Don't miss the daily afternoon tea - white glove service, delicious scones with jam and cream and a string quartet to entertain you!

binoculars are nice. This is one where a balcony is very much better.

Fettuccini and Bellini puree were delish! Order the Dirty Monkey drink, YUM!

Book speciality restuarant a.s.a.p. they fill up quick!

Wonderful experience at the Italian restaurant .

The Crown Princess is elegant and tasteful. The food is wonderful as well as the entertainment. The ship is well cared for and clean and the service is top-notch. I will be back...
