This was our 8th cruise with Princess and we could not have been more pleased ! The Coral Princess is a smaller ship from the other grand class cruisers in the fleet and it offers an intimate and wonderful feel to the cruise overall. The service was friendly and efficient and we were very impressed with how we were consistently greeted by all who we came in contact with. It is true that this is an older crowd (we are 61 years old) on an 11day cruise but we met some wonderful people who shared our enthusiasm for the trip.
The food was the best I have ever experienced on a Princess cruise and it was not only tasty but the presentation as excellent as well. All areas of the ship were well attended to and cleanliness was evident throughout.
The ports were great and the Panama Canal experience was an absolute must ! We got up at 5:30 AM to insure that we were on the front of the ship as we approached and we were not disappointed.
The cabin was spacious and well appointed with a balcony. The bathroom was typical cruise cabin size with the usual challenging shower environment. While we were located off the elevator lobby, it was quiet and we slept well.
