Following a drydock in Singapore, Princess Cruises’ Crown Princess has returned to service sporting an all-new O’Malley’s Irish Pub, a redesigned Gatsby’s Casino, and other general refurbishments.
“Every drydock is an opportunity to elevate the guest experience, and Crown Princess’ latest enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to evolve and modernize our onboard offerings,” said Lorna Warren, Princess Cruises vice president hotel operations and guest experience.
Here’s what’s new and refurbished:
O’Malley’s Irish Pub
Princess Cruises’ popular Irish pub concept has taken over the space formerly occupied by the Wheelhouse Bar. It serves classic comfort food, offers an extensive beverage selection including curated beer options and whiskey flights, and offers up live music most nights. The venue has seating for 134 guests.
EFFY Lounge and High-End Vault
This new lounge and shopping boutique has taken over the space formerly occupied by the Internet Café.
Gatsby’s Casino
The refreshed layout features a redesigned casino bar, upgraded gaming equipment including the latest slot machine themes, and an updated casino cashier area.
