Cabin: Suite with Balcony
This was a cruise to Alaska with my husband and my in-laws for their 50th wedding anniversary. We chose the Coral by chance as it left Vancouver on my in-laws' actual anniversary. We were so happy with our choice. We loved the ship, our cabin and our cruise.
I have reviewed the cabin separately. The ship itself was easy to navigate and lots of wide open areas great for viewing. We watched sailaway from Deck 14 and stayed on Deck 7/Promenade for glacier viewing as that deck is partially covered so provides some protection from wind and any rain. Princess did a wonderful job in Glacier Bay shutting the ship off completely so that calving could be heard and making sure all sides of the ship could see the glaciers.
As suite guests, we had access to the thermal suite at the spa which was awesome--however at $249 per couple, there is no way I would pay full price for it. We only used it twice and it was free. But it was very nice and we enjoyed it. It was never crowded and we never had to wait for the stone beds. A great suite perk, but not something we would pay for.
Cabin Review
Suite with Balcony
Cabin S6
We were in a Vista suite on Deck 9/Dolphin with a covered balcony. I highly recommend a covered balcony for Alaska. We were able to enjoy the balcony so much more than we would have otherwise. The balcony was huge with a table and two chairs, plus two loungers and a side table. Full shower and separate tub, double sinks, and sitting area. TV in living area and bedroom. All four of us were able to visit and have tea in the sitting area comfortably. The bed was comfortable and we slept great every night. No noise whatsoever in the room (just noisy neighbors on the balcony, but what can you do?) This was our first cruise in a suite and we have been spoiled forever!
Princess provides many perks for suite guests: priority embarkation/disembarkation, suite lounge, free access to the thermal suite--a wonderful perk we used many times, one free mini-bar setup, free breakfast in specialty restaurant, priority seating in dining room, and one free dinner in a specialty restaurant. All were used and enjoyed immensely.
Our cabin steward Kanit was outstanding.
