Chose this cruise as the Panama Canal was on our bucket list of cruise 'musts'. Quite concerned re the number of negative views however we have sailed with a number of cruise lines including Holland America, Princess, NCL so we are not new to cruising and know people's expectations/experiences are different.
What was good. Really liked the Coral Princess, right size and passenger capacity not ...
We were happy with last cruise on Royal Princess so it was a no brainier to go with Princess again. We went during my birthday and wedding anniversary and there was a personal signature on a card from the captain and a coupon for a both cakes at dinner to use. We came with another couple to celebrate. This was a special caring touch. Ruby level doesn't seem to be anything special since we don't ...
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 ...
This was our seventh cruise on Princess, and eleventh overall. Our last with Princess was the Pacific Princess in 2008 and as with previous trips, all was good and up to expectations. Since that cruise, we've been on Regent Seven Seas and Oceania plus a small ship in Alaska. Our impression on the Coral princess is that the ship needs refurbishiing; she's showing her age. Plus the qulity of the ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. The ship (Coral Princess) was a good size and in good shape. We had a suite and were disappointed to learn that Princess doesn't offer nearly the same personalized suite amenities as Royal Caribbean. Our cabin was D703. My husband is 6'5" which is way too tall for the bathroom doorways in this suite! He busted his head open a couple of times ...
We choose this cruise as it was one we had wanted to do & it worked out to be very conveniently for us. It went to all the places we wanted to see esp. the Panama Canal. It started where we wanted it to & on the day we wanted & ended on the day we wanted. So it worked out great for us. The Islands we stopped at were great, the weather, food on the ship was fantastic, & the people at our table & ...
My first disappointed, price and dealing with customer service from princess directly.
Yes, my fault not to have an agent.
I went with my parents both over 80's dining experience wasn't great during the night we ended in late dining, when we try to get table earlier we were rejected in the MD. I did have to talk with several people before we were allow in AT ... first night queue for dinner ...
We chose this particular cruise because of the ports of call and quality of the cuisine offered by Princess. It was a wonderful 10 days - relaxing and stress free. As it was not in the busy season, there were very few children on the ship and lots of room in the swimming pool.
The food offered in the Horizon Court dining room was of very good quality and it was our preferred dining ...
Comparing this cruise to othes that I made before, here are my commrnts:
the ship was quite nice , not a new one,
the cabin (mini suite) was big enough for 3 people and comfortable.it was everything that was good. the cabin service was not so cooperative, my requests were complied lukewarmly
the food was common, no big enough choise, nothing that I can say was delicious or very tasty, ...
First we started the trip with the quickest and easiest embarkation we've ever had. We were checked in and on the ship by 11:30 a.m. Our cabin was ready for us and the cabin steward welcomed us on board. The Coral Princess is a nice size ship as it is easy to find your way around. Our cabin was a mini-suite so ample room with a nice balcony. We enjoyed the food in the MDR but really enjoyed ...
