Sail Date: Jul 2013

Room (mini-suite) was very nice. Plenty of room, very nicely furnished and well equipped. The bed seemed larger than a queen and was very comfortable. Large bath and sitting area with sofa.

On the negative side there was a lot of vibration in the room, which made sleeping and relaxing somewhat difficult. I thought that being on the 9th level, there would be little or no effects from the engine room. Big mistake. The Princess agent that I worked with failed to mention the vibration throughout the far rear areas also.

I rate the food between average and good. As I recall, the food on previous cruises was noticeably better in terms of variety and taste. However, there were a fair number on the cruise that rated the food as very good. The food on theme days such as Italian Night and Alaska buffet lunch was, indeed noteworthy.

Cabin Review

Cabin AD

We stayed in D715, 9th (Dolphin) deck way in back of the ship. It was near the laundry but there was no noticeable noise or traffic. The room (mini-suite) was very nice. Plenty of room, very nicely furnished and well equipped, lots of storage and closet space. The large sitting areas (inside and balcony) were especially nice. The bath was larger than many as there was a long sink counter and tub/shower combination. It was located on the Starboard side, which had slightly better views for the cruises leaving from VancouverOn the negative side there was a lot of vibration in the room, which made sleeping and relaxing somewhat difficult. I purposely booked a room in the rear of the ship thinking it would be quieter, which it was. However, I thought that being on the 9th level, there would be little or no effects from the engine room. Big mistake. Avoid the far aft on the Coral Princess.Some other notes on the room - poor lighting for makeup preparation (consider lighted makeup mirror), hot water could be a little hotter, no diet sodas in the refrigerator. Excellent room service.
