Crown Princess Reimagined: New Experiences Await on Board After Drydock Revamp
A Fresh Take on the Crown Princess
After completing a significant renovation in Singapore, the Crown Princess has set sail again, offering travelers a rejuvenated experience. The cruise ship, which can accommodate 3,080 guests, boasts new attractions like O'Malley's Irish Pub and a newly designed Gatsby's Casino. These updates enhance the ship’s overall appeal and ensure guests have memorable experiences.
O'Malley's Irish Pub: A Taste of Ireland on the High Seas
One of the stand-out additions to the Crown Princess is O'Malley's Irish Pub, a venue designed to be a cozy gathering place for passengers. O'Malley's serves an array of classic pub fare, from hearty burgers to traditional fish and chips, catering to those who enjoy casual dining while sipping on curated beers and whiskey flights. With seating for 134, including a bar area for 12, guests can revel in a warm and inviting atmosphere complemented by live music.
Gatsby's Casino: Where Fun Meets Glamour
Another noteworthy change is the reimagined Gatsby's Casino, which features a fresh layout and upgraded gaming options. Guests can indulge in a variety of traditional games like blackjack and roulette, as well as the latest slot machines. The design improvements enhance both comfort and accessibility, ensuring that all visitors have a pleasant gaming experience.
EFFY Lounge: Luxury Meets Relaxation
Adding an element of sophistication to the ship, the EFFY Lounge showcases exquisite jewelry pieces from New York City, known for their superior craftsmanship and luxurious gemstones. This high-end lounge was formerly the ship’s Internet Café, transforming into a space where guests can appreciate both elegance and relaxation while onboard.
Commitment to Enhance Guest Experience
Lorna Warren, Vice President of Hotel Operations and Guest Experience, remarked, "Every drydock is an opportunity to elevate the guest experience. Crown Princess' latest enhancements reflect our ongoing commitment to evolve and modernize our onboard offerings."
