The Coral Princess is a well run and maintained ship. The cabin steward and waitstaff were well trained and cordial. The food was good, although there were perhaps fewer choices for lunch or breakfast than we were accustomed to, there were several theme dinners, like the Chef's dinner, and the Captain's dinner that were exceptionally good. We had venison as an entree one night, well prepared, tasty. While at Glacier Bay there was a special Alaskan buffet on the open Lido deck that was wonderful. Anytime dining was handled smoothly, and the waiter we had most often, Carlos, was a gentleman and very capable. Always had a recommendation for every course, and he was right.

The ice cream at the soft serve bar was good, and it is proper to have someone make the cone for you in my opinion. The pizza was good, and the food at the grille was good. Hard not to eat too much on this ship.

The shows were entertaining, good comedians, and a good magician. The forward theater was one level and very long, but had good view lines no matter where you sat. It just took a while to get out when the show was over, unless you sat in the back. But we weren't in a hurry anyway.

Cabin Review

Cabin CC

D203 is a great ocean view cabin. It has the depth of a balcony cabin including the balcony, but it is all inside. There was a big window. It was all the way forward so you did a little walking, and you had to take two elevators to go to the dining room since the forward elevators don't go below deck 7 and the atrium elevators do not go above deck 7, but it was worth it.

Quiet location, the only people walking by were crew going to their cabins and they were respectful of the need to talk in low tones. No machinery sounds of any kind. No inside cabins in this area of the ship so fewer people around.

Fairly small shower and bathroom, limited shelf space on one side of the lavatory, but everything worked once we figured out which way to turn the shower temperature knob!

Plenty of closet space, one long one, and shelves against the wall.

All in all the best ocean view I have stayed in. Actually preferred it to the balconies because it had the extra room for a table and chairs.
