This was a quick get-away and a chance to introduce our friends to cruising. We were on the Crown Princess in Februrary so we had a recent comparison.

We were in am port-side balcony cabin on deck 11-Baja (B-320). The cabin was on the inner section of the ship but visibility fore and aft from the balcony was still good. The location was super quiet and we left our slider open a bit to hear the ocean at night. The ship has the new Princess bedding and I've never slept better. Our friends in the cabin next door said the same thing!

The Coral was immaculate and the staff was the warmest and friendliest I've had on any Princess cruise! The food was great. Crab Shack was awesome. This is a smaller ship (2,000 pax), but there was never a line for anything. We had no problem finding seats in any venue. It was a ghost town by 10:30 every night! Read more
