Coral Princess Southbound August 17th-24th, 2009 Cabin C721 10th floor, Starboard side, minisuite. Two adults in our early fifties and two 11 year olds, our daughter and a friend.
First, I made the arrangements for this cruise and I am a "do it myself" online guy all the way. At the encouragement of a friend of ours we used a cruise consultant/travel agent and I am very glad we did. Still paid the lowest fare I could find on line plus received lots of useful information about the trip and the cruise and had a ready source to answer questions and address concerns along the way. Of course always a personal choice and Princess has a great web site and the user interface is pretty straight-forward and easy to use with contact points for people who prefer person to person and mail or email.
Overall the Coral Princess was great. Well maintained, clean, with the exception of the main open areas outside the dining rooms at dinner time, never felt crowded and the cruise was sold out.
Cabin worked great for us. We were as far back on the ship as you can be which had it pros and cons. We were a far walk form most of the eating places which were at the front of the ship but after the meals the walks felt good. The pluses were that it was quiet, near the laundry rooms which is the only place there is to iron clothes and a 10 second walk to the bag decks of the ship so if there was a wild like sighting on the other side of the ship you could quickly move from your cabin to the back decks to view the other side of the ship.
Closet was a good size, held clothes for four. Deck was roomy enough for four. This room was OK for four as long as two are children. I would not recommend it for four adults since one of you will be sleeping in a pull out bunk in the ceiling.
