THank you for what seems like a very honest and objective review. We are also from Texas and are doing the cruise out of Vancouver on August 25. Did you go early to explore Vancouver? Any excursions that were really good or any that were not good/waste of money. Did you have a favorite port? PS - We're taking out grandson - he's 24 and insisted on a private cabin. We are also in a mini on Dophin Deck - didn't know when I booked it there was no cover on the balcony. We have had the club class on several other ships ( royal Class) and would also give that a 2, despite the great service in the dining room. They forgot didn't know about priority boarding either and didn't care about the canapes. THe complimentary half bottles of wine we dumped after taking one sip

Hope so - we're kind of looking forward to it. I saw a youtube video today of some people eating there. Looked like a huge amount of seafood. But they didn't seem impressed

THanks very much.

I have read that its in a portion of the Buffet area - about 4-5 times a cruise. They probably didn't have it then

THank you - PS - was the new Crab Shack on the Crown open on your latest cruise? If so - did you like it?

I was thinking about upgrading from a mini to a full suite. But according to princess.com - our cruise is completely sold out except for obstructed ocean view and interiors. Still got an email from princess reminding me about the bid program

Yes

We have had mini's on the Riviera Deck on Regal and Sky - LOVED it

I honestly think this is the best travelogue for a cruise I have ever seen. Like a good book - I almost hated to see it end. Looking forward to our 11nt cruise on what looks like the same itinerary on the Crown, but we're not going till August 25 - that's only a month away now, because we are spending several days in Vancouver. Looking forward to that. PS - forgot to mention - I'm old and the last time I went to Vancouver was about 50 years ago.

Is the Crown too big for the Inside Passage?

Are you on the Crown on Aug 25? We are on that and were really looking forward to the train excursion

There is also priority boarding in the CC ( reserve)

Thanks - I probably saved 2 hours on the telephone with Princess by knowing this lol

I would also like to know this

The food in the IC is mainly brought down from the Buffet
