Cruising in comfort: A seamless getaway onboard Crown Princess
A two-night voyage from Brisbane to Sydney was the perfect way to recharge, indulge, and experience a taste of modern cruising at its best.
My trip was just part of a larger 28-night voyage circumnavigating Australia, giving me a glimpse of what an extended cruise aboard this remarkable ship has to offer.
A standout feature of the journey was Princess Cruises’ innovative MedallionClass technology.
Instead of a traditional keycard, I wore a small medallion that handled everything from stateroom access to personalised service.
As I approached my stateroom, the door unlocked automatically – no swiping or fumbling – just effortless entry that felt surprisingly futuristic.
With space for up to 3,080 guests, Crown Princess is designed to feel anything but crowded.
Its thoughtful layout includes four pool areas with two reserved exclusively
for adults, and a wide variety of activities throughout the ship, ensuring there’s always a place to relax or join in the fun.
Over the two nights, I managed to do a little bit of everything.
A behind-the-scenes tour offered a fascinating look at the inner workings of the
ship, while a sunny afternoon by the pool, soaking up the views and enjoyng lunch and drinks delivered right to my lounge chair was bliss.
MedallionClass made it all too easy – just a few taps on the Princess app and my order appeared minutes later.
That evening, I dined at Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, one of 10 dining venues on board. The food was fresh and beautifully presented, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed.
After dinner, I caught a show in the Princess Theatre featuring The Cover Girls, a talented vocal trio performing iconic songs from female artists across the decades.
What truly sets the Crown Princess experience apart is the seamless blend of innovation and hospitality. The technology enhanced the journey, but it was the people who were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, that brought it to life.
Two nights might seem brief, but this mini getaway delivered exactly what I needed: great food, spectacular views, and a refreshing dose of relaxation.
Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or considering your first voyage, Crown Princess with its combination of smart tech and thoughtful service, makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination.
