Dimensional crossover from anisotropic-3-dimensional (3D) to 2D low-energy magnetic excitations was found in delafossite oxide Cu$$_{1-x}$$Ag$$_{x}$$CrO$$_{2}$$ having a spin-3/2 antiferromagnetic (AF) triangular lattice. The crossover is evidenced by a decrease in AF transition temperature ($$T_mathrm{N}$$), distinct 2D magnetic excitations above $$T_mathrm{N}$$ for Cu$$_{0.85}$$Ag$$_{0.15}$$CrO$$_{2}$$, a disappearance of a peak of magnetic specific heat ($$C_mathrm{mag}$$) around $$T_mathrm{N}$$, and a successive change from $$T^3$$ to $$T^2$$ dependence of low-$$T$$ $$C_mathrm{mag}$$ accompanying a low-$$T$$ shift of magnetic entropy. These results may suggest a gradual change from AF to spin-liquid like states with an increase in $$x$$.
