We just got home from a wonderful 11 day Panama Canal Cruise on the Coral Princess. This was our 18th cruise and our 12th with Princess. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this trip. Princess has mastered the art of a speedy embarkation. From the time our cab dropped us off until we were walking onto the ship took 20 minutes. Our cabin steward, Noel, was there to greet us and found out our preferences. Great, frieindly service from him every day. Our cabin and balcony was always clean and we loved our bed! In fact, we are going to buy the same type of mattress for our bed at home. The linens were first class and so luxurious......almost hated to get out of bed in the morning. The entertainment was great every night, even when we went to the entertainers second show, it was always new material and top notch! The stops were all perfect. We had been on a Panama cruise before and enjoyed it immensely. Even though we had been to all the places before, we booked different excursions and had a ball! We highly recommend the Aerial ride to the top of the mountain in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We spent a few hours at the top, had lunch in the restaurant, used the waterslides and pool; the views were fantastic! What a relaxing day! We chose anytime dining for the first time. We found that even though they call it anytime dining, there are basically two seatings and you are all served appetizers, entrees, and desserts, etc. at the same time. Next time we will just stick with our Late Sitting Dining. The weather was perfect, the staff on this ship are by far the friendliest we have EVER encountered....always smiling and greeting everyone. It will be very hard to out-do this cruise experience but we are going to stick with Princess for all our future cruises. The only negative thing on this trip was that there were a a few hundred people from Quebec on the cruise. We are Canadians and thought that there would be a bit of comaradrie between us, but they made it very clear from the begininng that they wanted nothing to do with you unless you spoke French. We tried to converse numerous times, with different people, and even those that spoke English were completely antisocial. Oh well.....next time we won't even try!

We highly recommend the Coral Princess!
