Your floating resort

One of Princess' largest ships, the Crown Princess can accommodate up to 3,080 passengers. The vessel pioneered some of Princess Cruise's most popular features, including an adults-only sun deck and a three-story central piazza that's great for relaxing and people-watching.

As of 2015, the Crown Princess sails to Mexico for the Winter season, and Alaska for the Summer season. Like her sister ships, the Ruby Princess and Emerald Princess, her Skywalkers Night Club is built aft of the funnel rather than suspended over the stern. An interesting factoid is that her godmother is Martha Stewart.

Restaurants

Michelangelo

Michelangelo is one of Crown Princess's main dining rooms, serving chef-crafted modern and classic dishes with table service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will find it midship on Deck 5, the Plaza Deck.

As an Anytime Dining venue, you can walk in or reserve a flexible dining time, subject to availability. Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices are published too. Smart casual or formal dress is the order of the day.

image

Da Vinci

Da Vinci is one of Crown Princess’s main dining rooms, midship on Fiesta Deck 6. You can settle in for chef-crafted international dishes that pair modern favourites with classics, including authentic Italian pasta.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available, with traditional, reserved-time or walk-in dining options subject to availability. Leave the poolwear behind, and save room for a create-your-own sundae.

image

Botticelli

Botticelli is Crown Princess’ traditional main dining room, where scheduled early or late sittings mean you can return to the same waiter throughout your cruise. Think international dishes with both modern and classic favourites, from French onion soup to seared salmon and the Princess Love Boat Dream dessert.

You will find it aft on Deck 6, the Fiesta Deck, with lift access. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, and vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices are available. Smart Casual or Formal dress applies, so pack shoes.

image

Reserve Collection Restaurant

Reserve Collection Restaurant is an exclusive area within the main dining room, serving an international gourmet menu with dedicated waitstaff. Start with Beef Carpaccio or Spinach Ricotta Ravioli, then leave room for the Classic Love Boat Chocolate Mousse Dream.

Dinner is served every evening, with breakfast and lunch on sea days. You can skip Dine My Way reservations, but you must be staying in a Reserve Collection Mini suite or full suite to dine here.

image

International Cafe

Open around the clock in the Piazza on Plaza Deck 5, the International Café is your reliable stop for a croissant at breakfast, a sandwich between plans, or a freshly baked cookie when the day calls for one.

Pastries, salads and grab-and-go bites are complimentary. For a proper pick-me-up, the Lavazza Crafted Coffee menu has espresso-based drinks, with specialty coffee and tea available at an extra charge.

image

World Fresh Marketplace

A casual, help-yourself spot on Deck 15 for whatever your appetite has in mind. Build a fresh salad, choose from meat and poultry, or head straight for a made-from-scratch dessert. The world is your buffet, which feels like a sensible place for it.

You can drop in for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a late snack, with regional dishes and comfort-food classics changing things up. Select drinks cost extra, and opening hours can vary, so check the daily schedule before planning a particularly ambitious pancake run.

image

Coffee and Cones

Coffee & Cones on Deck 15 is your top deck stop for a coffee break or something colder. Pick up complimentary soft serve in chocolate, vanilla, or a pleasingly sensible swirl of both.

Have yours in a cone or as an ice cream sandwich, then settle in near Neptune’s Reef & Pool. Espresso, cappuccino, latte, chai tea and frappes are also on hand when the day calls for caffeine.

image

The Salty Dog Grill

When the pool calls but lunch calls louder, make for The Salty Dog Grill. On Deck 15, starboard side near Neptune’s Reef & Pool, you can pick from handmade burgers, hot dogs, tacos and loaded fries.

Try the Princess Burger or Triple Smoked Burger. The burgers use 100% pure beef patties handcrafted daily onboard, making this an easy poolside refuel with no need to make a meal of it.

image

Crown Grill

Settle into classic American steakhouse surrounds on Deck 7, where rich wood and an open kitchen put the cooking centre stage. Choose aged beef, fresh seafood or a hand cut steak, then tailor it with the house selection of salts.

The 7oz filet mignon is a named favourite, with curated wines ready for the table. It is dinner only and reservations are required, so secure yours early.

image

Crab Shack

Roll up your sleeves for a casual seafood pop up in Horizon Court on Lido Deck 15. You can tackle a four course feast of popcorn shrimp, clam chowder, crab legs, shrimp, clams and mussels.

For a proper hands on option, choose the Signature Seafood Pot, packed with Dungeness crab legs, crawfish and more. Crab Shack is served at lunch on sea days, so reserve your table before the good bibs are gone.

Bars and Lounges

image

Good Spirits at Sea

Good Spirits at Sea

Good Spirits at Sea on Deck 5, beside the Piazza, is where a cocktail comes with a little local colour. Settle in for live piano entertainment, or watch the mixologist shake, muddle and explain the story behind each pour.

Try a Gin & Tonic Ultima, a deconstructed take with Hendrick’s gin, citrus, juniper and tonic. A good spot when you fancy your nightcap with some conversation.

image

Crooners Lounge and Bar

Crooners Lounge and Bar

Crooners is your cosy, Rat Pack inspired piano and martini bar on the Promenade Deck. Settle in for live piano, a sing-along if the mood takes you, and classic cocktails in a setting that gives Sinatra a respectful nod.

Try a Pan Am Punch or a Banana Bread O.F., then stay for the music. It is casual, wheelchair-accessible, and on Deck 7, port side.

image

Wheelhouse Bar

Wheelhouse Bar

Settle into this lively, nautical-themed bar on Deck 7's Promenade Deck, where traditional wheelhouse style meets a well-stocked drinks list. Choose from cocktails, wine, premium spirits, beers, ciders and non-alcoholic options, with the Dark & Stormy among the named favourites.

Come evening, live piano music and dancing give the room a little extra swing. Smart Casual is the order of the day, so shoes on, drink in hand, and you are ready for a proper nightcap.

image

Vines Wine Bar

Vines Wine Bar

Take your palate for a proper wander at Vines Wine Bar, a wine and seafood bar on Plaza Deck 5, near The Piazza and International Café. Choose a wine flight or a glass, with more than 100 wines spanning Chilean Cabernet, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and more.

Pair it with charcuterie, canapés, antipasti or tapas. Antipasti and tapas come complimentary with any wine purchase. Dinner reservations are required, so plan ahead and wear shoes.

Activities & Entertainment

image

Princess Theatre

Princess Theatre

Take your seat for Broadway-style production shows and guest performers at the Princess Theater, where live musical theatre takes centre stage. Plush seating, clear sightlines and good acoustics mean you can settle in and let the curtain do the work.

The theatre spans Fiesta Deck 6 and Promenade Deck 7 at the front of the ship. Check the onboard programme or app for show times and availability.

image

Gatsby's Casino

Gatsby's Casino

Feeling lucky, or simply curious? Gatsby’s Casino on Deck 6, the Fiesta Deck, brings blackjack, roulette and slot machines together in a casually styled space refreshed during the 2025 drydock, complete with updated gaming equipment and a redesigned casino bar.

You must be 18 or over to play, and photographic ID may be requested. New to the tables? Complimentary lessons for slots and table games can help you find your feet. Check the MedallionClass app for opening hours, while slots run 24 hours at sea.

Movies Under the Stars

Movies Under the Stars

Settle into a lounger at this open air, poolside cinema on Sun Deck 16, where feature films, concerts and live football broadcasts play beneath the evening sky. The 69,000 watt sound system means you will not miss the big moment.

Fleece blankets are on hand when the sea breeze picks up, with fresh popped popcorn in the evening and cookies and milk at daytime screenings. Check JourneyView for the latest viewing times, then turn up casual and comfortable.
