This cruise came about when my wife and I wanted a quick getaway. We were were on the Ruby last year in Alaska and were looking to take it's repositioning trip south but the Coral itinerary (stopping once in Astoria) was better so that was that.
The ship does have a few odd perks. Buffet is forward instead of aft, restaurants are also forward. International cafe is open to the casino, a ...
This re-positioning cruise was awesome. The 4 day itinerary was the perfect way to revitalize your spirit and mind.
The Coral is a smaller ship but has all the amenities of say the Regal. It is new enough that the carpet still has spring to it and the rooms are clean and rust free.
The food was excellent. The main dining rooms were large with a lot of ramps for passengers that need ...
My husband and I needed a worry-free escape from stressful jobs, one that, once we left the house, was completely taken care of. On this 4 night cruise from Vancouver to Los Angeles, we were able to afford a Club Class Mini Suite with Princess transfers at the Vancouver Airport and an overnight at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The transfers and hotel stay were well worth the price for us. As soon as ...
I chose this cruise because I needed a small break. It was perfect to leave from my home port. The stop in Astoria was uneventful. I would have liked to stop in Seattle or San Francisco, anywhere but Astoria.
The people at my dining table were wonderful. we ranged in age from 48 - 82 and had a great camaraderie.
The games were hilarious at times.
The staff were awesome. They ...
We got married on the cruise. We had 13 guests. After the cruise we said good-bye to them and went on a 2 week honeymoon in Hawaii. The 4 night cruise turned out being perfect (3 nights would have been too short).
We had chosen the wedding package "At sea" that cost $3,000 which included the things described on the website: cake, flowers, dinner and breakfast for 2 (awesome), etc. Doesn't ...
We chose this cruise very last minute as our land trip to Napa fell through. The price for the cruise was a deal we could not pass up so we left for Vancouver. Upon entering the cruise port Princess was there and graciously welcomed me back. It had been a while not choosing Princess. We were so glad we are back!!! The entire experience exceeded our expectations mainly due to the outstanding ...
Not what was expected. Very unfriendly staff. Outdated vessel. Very small. Not well kept. Food was worse than hospital food. Balcony very dirty. Not a lot of activities on-board for 4 day duration. Age group 50-85. Disembarkment process very early. Shops with expensive prices. Atrium is a small hole in the vessel. Elevators are old and dirty. Not sailing again with a Princess. The staff seem to ...
We picked this cruise to see Alaska, especially the inside passage and Ketchikan. Although scheduled, the cruise skipped both. That was extremely disappointing. Princess did nothing to make up for it.
The staff were excellent, friendly and efficient, especially in the bars and restaurants.
The food varied from good to poor, but there was a lot of it. The drink “packages” were overpriced, I ...
My second cruise on the Coral, this time in a balcony A610. A great location with covered balcony allowing us to step out even in the rain and not get our feet wet! This cabin was on the port side, a fantastic location to view the glaciers.
Embankment was smooth and efficient. Sailaway was under sunny skies for a 7 day Alaska cruise-last of the season. We had the beverage package, gratuity and ...
Staff excellent- nothing was too much trouble for them. All equally good. Food really good, with service too match. Cabin was also excellent. Plenty of on board activities on on shore excursions for those who wanted them. 10 out of 10 in all respects - would definitely book this ship again - if we do I hope they have the same staff.
We did not use all the facilities, but those we did use were ...
