This was our 8th Princess cruise and it will be our last. The ship was not ready for passengers. The pool was closed the first 2 days while it was being painted. Many public bathrooms were closed the first few days while they were being repaired. The Movies Under The Stars worked the first couple of days, then never worked again. The overall feel of the ship was unlike any other cruise that we ...
The service was poor, the meals were nothing to write home about, but our cabin and the ports were great. Also great was Doug Funk, one of the entertainers. He’s so funny. We’ve seen him on other Princess Cruises,so we were happy to see him on this one.
The entertainment is usually campy on Princess. Their broadway shows are laughable. But on this cruise we had a magician, a guitarist, a ...
We chose this cruise because we had heard great things about the Princess Cruise Line and Princess' Panama Canal Cruise. This was our first time on Princess Cruise Line and we were shocked and dismayed at the Coral Princess’ condition when we embarked at Ft. Lauderdale.
Our stateroom had dirty windows leading to the balcony. The balcony had paint on the floor and chairs along with debris on ...
One of the highlights of every cruise I have been on is the food. The food on this cruise was horrible. Frequently the buffet repeated the food of the previous day, and would offer 3 types of pork as it's main entre selections (and the same baked chicken which was always present). The same food served on the buffet would be on the menu for dinner table service. One night 5 of 6 people at my ...
When you read everything about the tours it is not accurate. They say no steps, but they do not tell you that it is uneven ground and steep inclines.
All the pools were 5 feet or more. So you could not walk in water or exercise.
Pool chairs were reserved with no one using them for hours
And to charge for the one pool. Come on
The guest service desk was very unfriendly and was not ...
We chose this cruise because we liked the ports of call and were looking forward to sailing with Princess again. This was our 5th Princess cruise but it has been 10 years since we sailed with them. The ship itself was small and would be more suited for mature travelers. There were not many outdoor activities for the younger crowd. We actually enjoyed the quiet and didn't see many children. The ...
We have cruised over 30 times, but only once before on Princess, in Alaska. We gave it rave reviews. So we talked another couple (first timers) into traveling with us to the Panama Canal. The first two days at sea went well, except for a bad stench. There was a sewage smell in various locations all around the ship and it continued for the entire cruise. Then we had maintenance problems in the ...
The good.
1. $12.80 +tip cab fare from FLL to the cruise ship.
2. Suites are nice and not claustrophobic.
3. Bed was very comfortable.
4. Head Chef and Maitre D were very nice. Chef's Table was excellent. ($95 each)
5. Food was good--but not great.
6. Service was excellent. Especially the cabin attendant for our D711 suite.
7. Quick embarkation and ...
We sailed to the Panama Canal on the Coral Princess in Oct 2016
Anytime dining is an epic fail.On arrival we were told we needed to make reservations The only available reservation times were 8:30 pm or you were given a beeper and the wait was 25 mins or more.
I had a bug in my salad at the buffet.I called over a head waiter and told him that the lettuce needed to be washed more ...
As mentioned by others , intermittent sewage smells throughout cruise. Water problems in Cabin three times during cruise ( Dolphin deck 9).
Crew did not seem happy . Service for any time dining generally very poor, portions for starters seemed small, food quality only average, all fish dishes overcooked . I tried to discuss matters with Hotel Manager/ Chef but was told I needed to fill out a ...
