Creator's Key Takeaways

Our first impressions were very positive. The living space was compact but comfortable with a king-size bed, desk, and mirror, flat screen TV with an upgraded entertainment system, and plenty of storage.

The tacos were outstanding. Grilled tortillas, charred corn, and perfectly spiced chicken.

Crown Princess has her quirks and could use some TLC, but we really enjoyed our time on board.

I'd love to sail on her again afterward, hopefully under sunnier skies.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider the Princess Plus or Premier package for included coffee and ice cream.
βœ“Try the Salty Dog Grill for outstanding tacos and vegetarian burgers.
