Coral Princess Review

Additional details
Just back from a Panama Canal Cruise on the Princess Coral. Although it was a very good cruise, there is a few things that I feel need to be Mentioned. This was our 5th cruise (4 with Princess and 1 with Carnival).What we realized is that we like the bigger boats better then the smaller ones for the following reasons:
The international Cafe is not located beside the Atrium as with the bigger boats, and there is not much seating around the Atrium on the Coral, for just relaxing with a coffee or a drink listening to music.
There is not much outside table and chairs for eating outside the Horizon Court buffet as it is at the front of the boat instead of the back. Also there did not seem to be as much variety at the buffet as on the bigger boats.
Cabin Review
The room was very nice and it was our first cruise with a balcony, which we really enjoyed. As mention above our room steward was not as energetic as on our previous cruises. On more then one occasion we left a cup or plate at night and it was never picked up when he cleaned the next day. On our previous cruises our stewards were always asking us how we were and if we needed anything. On this one we maybe saw him 3 times the whole cruise, and even then he never looked happy. I tipped him but not as much as I would generally.
