Coral Princess Review

Additional details
This was our first cruise. We decided to do a back to back cruise that was a repositioning cruise from Vancouver to Fort Lauderdale. The ship took 3 days to sail to LA and then 14 days to go the rest of the way.
Embarcation in Vancouver was beautiful. We booked a princess hotel package and stayed in the Pan Pacific Hotel. The hotel overlooks the cruise ship pier and was perfect. The weather in Vancouver was incredible-sunny and 70-75F. Boarding was no problem as we were checked in at the hotel. At about 10:30 am, we were led down to the cruise ship waiting room and were whisked through customs to the waiting area. Being first time cruisers we had to wait until the priority passengers boarded-but we were in the first group in the peon class.
We boarded and went right to our room. Princess had split boarding-those with cabins forward took one gangway and those aft took a rear gangway.
Cabin Review
Our cabin has a great layout with lots if closet space and drawers. The room has a nice desk. Bath was good but shower was small. Had great access to back deck that had some great views throughout the trip
being in the stern, it did require a lit of walking to get forward-but we needed it with all of the great food.
