bones774 Posted April 18, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi New to board and kinda at a deadline for these questions before end of day. Looking to sail Crown Princess on 7/23 and would like to know a) Is this a kid friendly line/ship? Will have 3 kids 9,10 & 12. b) 90 day special and large room requirements leave me with no choice but Cat M, plaza deck all the way up front of ship next to laundry(doesn't sound good), any experience with these rooms? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denneym1 Posted April 18, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2007 No, kids are prohibited, and if brought aboard will be used for slave labor or shark bait. Cat. M cabins are where the garbage chutes terminate. Now, think ya posted this question enough times? I just thought I would help you get a wide variety of answers since you have at least three posts with the same question. :D :D :D MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jff50 Posted April 18, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2007 On the location, the front of the ship does seem to get more movement than the rest of the ship, but being low on the ship should help limit that movement. Not sure what the impact of being close to the laundry will be. Haven't been on the Crown but have been on the Caribbean Princess. I think you will find Princess and the ship to be kid friendly. They have a good kids program and the kids will probably like the Movies Under the Stars (MUTS). I like the anytime dining (versus traditional) option Princess offers. On any given day, it allows you the flexibility to either have dinner with your kids or not. On several occasions we have fed my daughter (room service or buffet), taken her to the kids program, and had a nice dinner with just my wife and I. Have you been on other cruises with or without your kids before? If so, knowing what your likes, dislikes, expectations from other cruises would allow us to respond better regarding whether you will like the Crown Princess.

buzzsmom Posted April 18, 2007 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2007 We were on the Crown in February. Our group included a 13 yo girl, 11 yo boy, and two boys ages 4 & 5. All the kids had a very good time. There was a good mix of kids and adults. All in all our experience with the Crown and their kids program was very positive. Have a great trip!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genoa Posted April 18, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Wow Denny, Are you having a bad day? Do you always monitor how many times people post things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlee Posted April 18, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2007 They have great kids programs. They have Playstation games, board games, crafts, movies and group activities. My 11 year old especially enjoyed dissecting a squid :eek: and the balloon popping contest. The kids will love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlee Posted April 18, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Oh, and for the other part of your question, I've been right by the laundry, and it didn't bother us at all. I never heard any noises or saw any noticeable heavier traffic. It's also very convenient in case you need to do some laundry:) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted April 19, 2007 #9 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I think it's a very kid-friendly line. My daughter was on three Princess cruises (age 5, 7, 8) and found plenty to do. When there are plenty of kids (in July, there should be plenty of 'em), the science program that's in conjunction with the California Science Center will be in full force. The squid dissection is very popular. As for the other poster, there's many accidental multiple postings (and threads) because often you can get a blank screen or error message and not know if your post went through. I try to remember if typing a long reply to copy it first. Then if I get the dreaded white page, I got back to the main page of the Princess forum and see if my post is listed. If my post did disappear, then I go back in the thread and paste it in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones774 Posted April 19, 2007 Author #10 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks all for the help, the trip has been booked and now looking forward to it. The posting about the convenience of the self laundry really sounds right after 5 people and nine days, laundry is a great idea. About the multiple postings, it was an accident and I have seen it occur to others and thanks for the understanding. Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
