Cabin: Mini-Suite with Balcony
Traveled with children

We sailed on the Coral Princess 7/8/15 to 7/15/15 northbound from Vancouver to Anchorage. We were in cabin C721, deck 10, starboard side, aft (3rd cabin from the back of the ship), in a mini suite. We are a family of 4, kids ages are 9 and 11.

We had pre-pruchased our drink packages so our stickers were already on our key cards when we checked in at Canada place (handy to get a drink as soon as you board the ship). Our bags were taken at drop off, and delivered to our room, and you will go through customs before boarding the ship, buts it quick.

I highly recommend purchasing a beverage package. They have several packages from just soda at $5.18/day to All inclusive alcohol, soda and coffee at $56.35/day. We got our kids the soda and more package $8.05/day which includes soda, milkshakes and mocktails and I'm pretty sure they lived on strawberry smoothies. My husband and I got the All-Inclusive package each and it was well worth it. Between a blended coffee in the morning, sodas during the day and a few drinks at night, plus bottled water its just worth it. Plan ahead, purchase ahead online and just include it as part of the cost of the trip. We prepaid our drinks and gratuities so at checkout our only cost was tours and additional gratuities we gave our waiters.

Cabin Review

Mini-Suite with Balcony

Cabin MD

The room was much bigger than I expected. Upon entering there is a closet on the right with a large hanging area and then a cupboard with shelves and the in-room safe (which is tiny, and will not fit a 10 inch tablet), but great for phones, wallets etc. Then there is the bathroom. A full sink / vanity area with plenty of room for everything and a shelved cabinet on the side. Plus a full sized deep tub / shower combo. Our bed was comfortable and the kids took turns each night sleeping on the pullout sofa and the drop down bed. The mattress on the sofa is really hard. Our room attendant was Reymond and he was AMAZING, we were late to get up and he was always around greeting us in the hall and kept our room very tidy.
