We board the Crown tomorrow!  So excited. We want to go straight to the Sanctuary to reserve loungers. 

What deck do we board on?  And what is the quickest way to get to the Sanctuary at boarding?  Thanx!

Anyone done the Princess excursion to St John that leaves from the pier so u dont have to take a taxi and the ferry?  We just want as much time at Trunk Bay as possible and this seems like it might be the best option. Only problem is it’s only 4 hours. Wondering how much time that actually gives us on Trunk Bay? Is there a better way to do Trunk Bay?

One of our fav excursions ever was to Trunk Bay. I’m looking for a way to go straight from the ship to St. John. There is an excursion that does that but the whole thing is only 4 hours. So maybe 2 hours at Trunk Bay. Anyone know of a way to go to St. John for the whole day?

Thanx everyone!  So helpful. Can’t wait!

We board the Crown this Sunday!  Woohoo!

i have noticed that all the islands we will be on are one hour ahead of ET except Grand Turk. Do we stay on ship time when we go ashore?

Also - never been on Princess before. What are some fav things to do the first day?  And where is the best place to eat lunch?

Finally - we love to get on the ship ASAP. We are in a suite. What time is best to arrive at port to be the first ones on the ship?

Can anyone compare palm beach and eagle beach in Aruba?  We have only been to Eagle. Is Palm crowded?  Same amazing clear calm water?

We are so excited to now be only 2 weeks away from our longest cruise ever. 10 nights on Crown to S Caribbean. We will be in E733 a Vista suite. Never been in a suite before so extra excited!

For those who have been on the  Crown what are some of your favorite things to do or secret tips to know? 

 Our itinerary is Aruba, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, St. Thomas, and grand Turk.  Here are our plans for each stop tho we are flexible. Love to hear any of your thoughts or alternate ideas:

Aruba -  we want a beach day. We stayed on Eagle beach once and loved it so much we hope to go back and just find a place to rent chairs and an umbrella. 

Curaçao -  we are thinking about just walking around and shopping. Is everything close to the ship or do you need to take a taxi to shop? 

Grenada - we plan to get a day pass at LaLuna.  Anyone done that and what did you think? 

Dominica - we are going to do a private tour with Just Go Dominica so we can do whatever we want on the itinerary.  What are your favorite things to do in Dominica? 

St Thomas -  we think we may stay on the ship and just do a relaxing day 

Grand Turk -  The cruise port here looks amazing! We think we will just hang out at the beach. 

 Thanks to everyone who has answered so many good questions and the last several months for us. It has really helped our excitement to grow. Love this for him! 

Funny!  Yes we will welcome the chocolate fairy. Thank all!

Do I understand correctly that if u are in a suite they bring u treats each night?  What is available?  And do u order them on the first day of the cruise or day by day?

Wow this is great!  Thanx so much for the help. On the Crown Jan 6 and look forward to giving it a shot

Sky night I went back and saw ur response to my similar question a few months ago. Do u remember some of the specific song titles of songs for men?  Any classic rock? Thanx!

Wow! Surprised by that. Is it just mostly old songs or one genre?

Anyone take a picture of the Voice song list?  Or remember if either All of Me by John Legend, Home by Daughtery, Landslide by Fleetwood Mac or Dream On by Aerosmith are on the list?  Those are my go to Karaoke songs. 😀 Thanx!

My wife wants to know what do most women wear to dinner on non formal nights. We will be eating about half the time in club class and half in specialty restaurants. 

My wife and I love the spas on a cruise!  However we have found that the quality of the treatments can really vary and u just hope to get lucky by getting a good therapist. Anyone who has been on the Crown recently have a great massage and remember the therapists name?

How do u find out what pier your ship will be on?  We are sailing on the Crown January 6 out of FLL

Thanx!

We will be in a suite on the Crown in January. On Norwegian they have a reserved section in the theater for those in suites. Does Princess do anything like that?

Sorry I didn't say we will be on the Crown

I love karaoke! I want to sing a special song for my wife if they have it. Does anyone know if they have Keith urban “somebody like you?”  Either in karaoke or voice  of the ocean? Or “all of me“ by John Legend? And to rock out I’d like to do “dream on” by Aerosmith. Thanks for help if anyone is on the ship or remembers from past cruises

I’m excited about this too for our cruise in January. And also just karaoke in general. I want to sing a special song for my wife if they have it. Does anyone know if they have Keith urban “somebody like you?”  Either in karaoke or voice  of the ocean? Or “all of me“ by John Legend? And to rock out I’d like to do “dream on” by Aerosmith. Thanks for help! 

Thank u everyone!  Such great advice and help

We will be in this suite on Crown soon. Anyone been in this cabin?  Thoughts or tips about Vista suites?  We are on waiting list just in case for Caribe deck. I've read the balconies on that deck are bigger but I can't really confirm that. Anyone know for sure?

We will be on the Jan 6 sailing of the Crown out of Fort Lauderdale. We love to be among the first on the ship when we cruise. We are in a suite so I know we will have priority embarkation. There are 7 ships in port that day so it will be busy. Those of you with experience in Fort Lauderdale - what time would u recommend arriving at port?  

Thanx so much for this quick and great response. So helpful. We are excited about this cruise!  And sounds like the Sanctuary will be worth it for us.
