After a 4 hour drive from New Smyrna Beach to Port Everglades my best friend Pat and I sailed through check in and were actually in our cabin by 11:45 a.m. We parked in the Pier 2 garage for security and convenience.
Our favorite ship activities included Zumba, line dancing, deck parties (I won champagne), walking the true promenade deck and relaxing in hot tubs and pools. There was plenty of ...

We chose this cruise for a fiftieth wedding anniversary present and included our children and spouses. From embarkation to disembarkation the trip was spectacular. The crew, including wait staff, stewards, bar tenders, etc were excellent. The moment we arrived at out room there were balloons, congratulatory signs and good wishes. In our room were banners, mobiles and “towel sculptures” of ...
We have been on different cruise ships and by far this was the best in everything. The food was top notch, the service, the entertainment, everything went real smoothly, no wait for anything. We had the best time and the best of everything. The excursions were great also. We had plenty of time in each port to shop or sightsee. This was the first time we ever had an inside cabin and we chose ...
Great first cruise!
Port Everglades is a very short distance from Ft Lauderdale airport which was nice. Everything went smoothly throughout the cruise with no major hick ups. All staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout the trip.
For its age compared to other ships it was in great condition and nicely decorated. Some rust spots but I don't think it was that bad given that the ...
Wanted to see the Panama Canal, Cartagena, and Aruba. The overall service of the ship was excellent. The food was very good. The waiters were friendly and provided exceptional service. The cabin steward also was friendly and provided excellent service. The ports of Aruba, Cartagena, and the Panama Canal were wonderful. There wasn't much to see at Limon in Costa Rica but the excursion to the rain ...
The Panama canal was on our bucket list and there are not a lot of cruise lines that offer this cruise. The canal is awesome and such a marvel to see and go through, and the ship was nice, but nothing special. We were very disappointed that during our early morning hours (7am) venture through the canal we were standing at the back of the ship in the Sanctuary to take pictures of the canal and even ...
Choose this cruise for both destinations and relaxing sea days. There were ten of us on this cruise— some with prior cruises and some first timers. Expectations also varied.
The ship isn’t new but is well maintained and every bit of it was elegant. The cabins — both balcony rooms and mini suites — were roomy, clean, comfortable and exactly as the were presented by Princess.
Embarkation ...

Experiencing the Panama Canal was definitely on the bucket list. Experiencing it on the Coral Princess was icing on the cake! Even before we got to Florida, Princess was taking care of us.

My husband had always wanted to see the workings of the Panama Canal! It was an item on his bucket list. The Coral Princess is a lovely ship - we loved the formal dining and met some great new people onboard. We did the full passage of the Panama Canal on an excursion on a smaller ship. We were able to see the workings of the canal and learn more about the history and function. If you are ...
