"Still no response on either and one dates back to April.I am hoping things will improve as I do enjoy the ease of cruising and the new Brisbane Cruise terminal is a vast improvement on the old one at Hamilton...."Read More

We chose the Coral Princess for a short vacation with friends, jumping on in Auckland back to Sydney. We have done this hop previously and found it to be a relaxing break with easy of travel over to NZ. There were several Princess ships offering this mini cruise from Auckland and the Coral date and pricing suited our needs but would have happily tried any of their other ships (Royal was in port ...
We were in a mini suite on Dolphin deck …we had water ingress through the balcony after rain but Mr Fixit came with his trolley and repairs were done asap . Well done! Our stateroom steward Romella was delightful ….our room was attended to while we were at breakfast without fail ! The bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. Lots of storage and hanging space and the bathroom was quite spacious ...
I’d wanted to do the PNG cruise, so when the bargain balconies became available on the Coral late last year, I signed up. The cruise left from Brisbane where I have family to drop me off at the port.
Embarkation/Debarkation
It was just so organised after the debacle I had had to endure at Station Pier last Nov. I was dropped off at 11am. My boarding time was noon. There were attendants ...
Having only done three other pretty good cruises, Super Star Virgo (05), Rhapsody RCL (11) and Aria P&O (17), I was not expecting too much after reading previous reviews.
Embarkation was at the new Brisbane terminal which is a journey in itself but has coinvent parking if booked early and a short walk to boarding which was quite smooth, about an hour.
The Coral Princess is a little dated but ...
We saw this was available and matched up with our planned cruise so booked on the spur of the moment. We managed to get the same cabin however we were upgraded to a mini suite at the last minute for this short time. Getting onto the ship was easy in Sydney, the train takes you directly from the airport to Circular Quay where the ship docks. Smooth boarding. COVID safe, masks inside at all times ...
First cruise since Pandemic. First cruise with Princess. Boarding at OPT, Sydney extremely efficient. Despite being lowest level of loyalty, on board within 15mins and rooms were ready at 12.45. Guarantee balcony cabin. Assigned A632 AFT cabin on Aloha deck. Cabin very nice. Great view from balcony. Queen bed extremely comfy. Plenty of space. Desk & chair but no couch. Balcony had two ...
Booked this cruise months ago when the booking re opened here in Australia.
Wish I had booked something longer as just settled in and then off again. 3 Nights way too short.
The embarkation process was a breeze, much easier and faster than ever before. The crew were so welcoming and glass to be back.
The ship was immaculately clean and empty. Only about 70% booked so easy to get a seat by ...
Our first cruise post - covid, and with a new cruise line for us. We really didn't pick Princess, it picked us, at it fit within our travel plans to QLD. That said we were very excited to try Princess, and we have a couple of Elite Princess friends.
Starting at the beginning, the embarkation process was a breeze at Brisbane (the trip to the terminal though is less inspiring). The only thing to ...
I’d never done a cruise in Australia and thought this would be a good way to have a holiday without leaving the country. I hadn’t left Victoria since Covid hit. Originally booked as a 12 night cruise which was changed to a 5 night and 7 night cruise a few weeks prior to departure for ‘operational’ reasons. Pre-booked excursions were refunded and had to be booked again and we had a day in Brisbane ...
Enjoyable cruise, Coral Princess may be an older vessel, she is clean and her appearance in public areas outside and inside, we could not fault. Outside paintwork, varnished wooden railings gleaming, spotless decking, maintenance crew continually seen cleaning and touching up paintwork and wiping off sea spray. Our trip had wild seas and the areas of glass must be nightmare to keep clean. ...
