From: Gadget World on 22 Nov 2009 21:31 Recent rants in this NG against Princess had me rethinking the two Princess cruises we had booked. Well we just got back from the Crown and everything could not have been better! Food, service, accommodations, housekeeping, entertainment. The attitude of all staff, officers and crew was great. After many Princess cruises I must say that this was one of the best. Even the passengers were nice and quiet and respectful of each other, with few children on this non-holiday sailing!

Whenever a poster has negative comments about a wide range of unrelated items on a cruise, I have to question whether ANYTHING would have made that person happy. Everyone has experienced a few glitches here and there, but when a person reports that "the propeller fell off and the towel monkeys were too loose", and you don't hear the same thing from other passengers on the cruise, you have to wonder if that person was just too pissed-off to be happy.

This is exactly the way we felt about our Crown Princess and Emerald Princess sailings. Both of these cruises are among our favorite cruises so far. sue

Ocean Princess, Dawn Princess, Grand Princess and Crown Princess 2x. This was my 5th time on Princess. Second on Crown... which we picked strictly because of itinerary, and despite our dislike for her after the San Juan sailing. We wanted a North Cape sailing, needed those two weeks (because of Daniel's Pharmacy School schedule) and this Crown itinerary had more different/new ports than Century's did (for the same 2 weeks). Loved the Ocean.... liked the Dawn, didn't like Grand, and was very disappointed in Crown both times. Though this second time, while the food was abysmal on a number of evenings in the dining room (with returned salads, entr�es, etc.), at least the service wasn't "surly" like when we did the ship in the Caribbean. The crew were great. The ship was in excellent shape, but the food was just so bad. Ask Charles about the salads. There were some evenings it was so wilted we just pushed it aside. Other evenings it came without dressing, and a plate of dressings never showed up. And I can't even recall how many entrees I sent back, there were so many. I do recall multiple lousy steaks and multiple lousy fish meals that I sent back or simply didn't eat. Yet the buffet food was really very good. Not sure what the problem was in the dining room. Even Charles had it with the food on Crown. --Tom
