It’s our final day at sea on Crown Princess, and we’re making the most of it! 🌊🚢

We start the day with room service breakfast, coffee at the International Café, and check out a range of onboard activities (yes — even Jenga while the ship rocks!). Throughout the day, we explore what Crown Princess has to offer on a sea day, from relaxation to entertainment.

In the evening, we enjoy a delicious dinner at Crown Grill, and then we sit down to share our honest thoughts on Crown Princess and Princess Cruises overall. We talk about who this cruise line is perfect for, and what type of cruiser might enjoy it most.
