Princess Cruises - Crown Princess Review Jump to comments

Crown Princess is a Crown-class cruise ship from Princess Cruises, offering a classic yet well-equipped cruising experience. Welcoming 3,080 guests and supported by a crew of 1,200, the ship debuted on June 14, 2006, and was christened by Martha Stewart. Stretching 952 feet long, standing 195 feet high, and spanning 19 decks, she features 1,547 guest cabins, including nearly 900 balcony staterooms.

The ship is best known for its breathtaking three-story Piazza atrium, the lively heart of onboard life. Dining ranges from casual favorites to specialty restaurants and experiences such as the Chef's Table and Ultimate Balcony Dining, while entertainment includes the Princess Theater featuring original musicals, top comedians, magic shows, and an open-air amphitheater showing feature films, along with bars, and nightclubs. Guests can relax at the spas, stay active in the fitness center, and enjoy dedicated kids’ programs. Gatsby’s Casino adds excitement with blackjack, roulette, slots, a contemporary casino bar, and modern gaming equipment.

Crown Princess doesn't have a "permanent" home location; like most cruise ships, she sails globally. A few of the popular drydock port locations of Crown Princess include Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in the U.S., Sydney, Australia and Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
