Couldn't have been better. Off the train and onto the Ship. The cruise line had agents on the train to get everyone checked in before we got to the ship

Our cabin steward Geoffrey was on the ball

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Clean and big, there was an issue with the token machine in the laundry room and I had to go down to guest services to get tokens for the machines but that was the only problem I encountered

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
sleeping on half a queen bed proved to be a little difficult but that is more bc I'm 'fluffy'. the cabin was always clean but then I clean up after myself. I spent more time out on the balcony than in the room.

Ship tip

if they offer you an upgrade, take it. it will be worth it.

We had a great first experience on Princess - Caribbean cruise on Crown Princess in Spring 2018. Looking forward to an Alaskan cruise on Golden Princess this summer and a Mexican cruise on Royal Princess in Winter 2020. Love Princess, for sure!
