The Crown Princess receives generally positive reviews for its service, staff friendliness, and itineraries, with many guests praising the relaxing atmosphere and memorable destinations. However, there are recurring criticisms regarding the ship's age and maintenance, inconsistent food quality, crowded dining and entertainment venues, and extra charges for amenities. Some guests experienced issues with excursions, missed ports, and mechanical problems. Overall, the cruise offers good value for many, but there are areas for improvement, especially in food, entertainment, and ship upkeep.
Service is frequently highlighted as a strong point, with many guests praising the staff's friendliness, attentiveness, and professionalism. However, a few reviews mention lapses in attentiveness and some organizational issues.
