Coral Princess Panama Canal 12-23-2008 to 01-06-2009
I recently returned from a 14 day Panama Canal transit where I was surprised by a rash of migraine headaches which completely disabled me and rendered me room bound for a good portion of the cruise. Having said that, I cannot think of a better place to have a Migraine, the Coral staff was one of the best I've experienced so far. I got excellent room service and even was allowed to order some items off the main menu when I couldn't get out of the room. Lauren, the Assistant Cruise director, was the best, she made everything more enjoyable and everybody loved her. In spite of having some health problems on this cruise, I really had a good time and I learned a lot about how to travel better.
I had a lot of misconceptions about some of the ports in Central America. I stayed back in ports that I otherwise wouldn't have and was pleasantly surprised at the small moments I found there. When I missed a port I made all my wonderful CC friends tell me everything! Strangers too. Our CC group was incredible; they all really made a difference for me. I made some mistakes and learned from them, always a bonus when traveling.
Cabin Review
Balcony
The cabin was small as expected but well functioning and very clean. We ordered a mattress pad and it was on the bed when we got there, for the first time ever, and it made the bed very comfortable. I didn't even notice the mound in the middle, making me think they got new beds. The bathroom was small too, and the shower is still not my favorite thing. I never did get good at not creating a lake in the bathroom after a shower, I just do not have those skills!
