Best and worst cabins on Crown Princess

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Crown Princess, worked out where each of the 1,516 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Crown Princess is about 113,561 gross tons, carrying around 3,090 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2006. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 5 to deck 15. The deck plan legend colours them as 709 balcony, 440 interior, 206 suite, 188 ocean view.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is P219 on deck 5 (Interior), and the one that should move most is L312 on deck 15 (Balcony). Every other cabin on Crown Princess falls between the two.

How this is worked out, and what it does not cover

A ship pivots about a point amidships and low down. The further a cabin sits from that point, the more it moves in a swell. So the ranking below is distance from amidships, weighted with height above the waterline. It is a position measurement, not a review.

What we are not claiming. We have not mapped the bars, clubs and galleys on this ship, so nothing here is a noise rating. A steady cabin under a nightclub is still a cabin under a nightclub. We also could not establish which end of this ship's plans is the bow, so we describe cabins as amidships or near an end rather than forward or aft.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.

The largest cabins

By floor area on the plan, against the median cabin on this ship. Suites will dominate, which is the point: this is where the space is.
