Creator's Key Takeaways

We had a starboard balcony cabin and with Crown Princess being a Grandass variant, the layout was identical to our cabin on Carnival Adventure the month before.

I really enjoyed having a dance and a sing along to the great music and was quite chuffed to get a number of compliments on my colorful cat top.

From the crab cake starter to my ribeye steak along with the various sides and dessert, everything was fantastic.

The ship felt much more lively than she did last time and the recent dry dock has been far more extensive than just a lick of paint and some basic maintenance.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Ask for vegetarian accommodations at specialty restaurants even if not listed.
โœ“Try the Ocean Now delivery service for coffee and light breakfast.
โœ“Book specialty dining reservations early as online slots fill up.
