The Crown Princess receives generally positive reviews for its service, staff friendliness, and itineraries, with many guests highlighting memorable experiences and beautiful 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 also noted issues with excursions, weather disruptions, and communication. Overall, the cruise offers good value and enjoyable experiences, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in food, ship upkeep, and organization.
