Thank you!!v

We've enjoyed several cruises on the Crown & here are a few suggestions.

 

We enjoyed the new Princess production show Magic to Do in "partnership with three-time Oscar-winner and composer of Wicked, Pippin and Godspell Stephen Schwartz".

 

Adagio Bar is a quiet location adjacent to Sabatini's and Sabatini's overlooks the wake of the ship. On all Princess ships we've sailed in the last year they had a buy one, get one for $1 daily drink promotion in one of the bars (3-4 and either 10-11 or 11-midnight.

 

The open upper decks are probably the best place to view the beauty of Alaska. I don't prefer one side over the other and each time they rotated the ship at the glaciers to give everyone a view.

 

There's lots of useful info on their website which includes lecturers & food selections for Alaska.

The back patio outside Sabatini's.

Carry breakfast there (from HC) and pretend you're in a Suite :)

I second the Adagio Bar. It was quiet, nice, and most people didn't seem to know it was there. We took in some great jazz there one night. :)

 

It's across from Sabitini's and, like Sabatini's, there is a door out to the rear deck area. I don't think a lot of people know about that deck area which is nice.

Like your tagline. Nice to find a fellow "Whovian" here. :D

Special treats on Princess can be found at the International Cafe. Try the tiramisu cups. Yum!

Yep. Adagio is a great place to relax and watch the view. Thrak is right about the deck, too. It's beautiful out there, but you need to look for the door at the back of Adagio to find it. (If you like stuffed olives, ask the bartender in Adagio for some. They are the gourmet kind, really good.)

International Cafe for a early morning coffee before most passengers get up.:):cool:

[OCruisers]

Don't miss going to the IC (International Café) which is open 24 hours a day. :)

[Re-tired]

Find Reynaldo, the best bartender in the fleet!

Welcome to cruise critic and the world of cruising! It is a delightful way to travel, and Alaska is worth the long journey.

 

On a different topic, I visited Rotorua, NZ with my family when I was a little girl, many years ago!

I have lived in Rotorua for most of my life, my sister who is travelling with me is from Taupo 1 hour south of Rotorua. We leave for our big trip in 4 weeks and will be based in Vancouver for 6 weeks.
