Traveled with children
Our daughter chose this particular cruise for a 3-generation family celebration of my husband's and my 50th wedding anniversary. She was looking for something family friendly, relatively affordable, a specific time frame, and a destination that was new to everyone in our well-traveled family. The Voyage of the Glaciers on the Coral Princess met all our requirements.
We arrived in Vancouver the morning before embarkation. Fortunately, our hotel had our rooms ready so we were able to leave our luggage and explore. We also had several hours the next day before embarkation and enjoyed shopping, sightseeing, and dining in Vancouver. Vancouver is a lovely city and I recommend spending a day or two there. Our hotel was conveniently located near the pier and we were able to walk to our ship when the time came.
Princess has both the embarkation and disembarkation dialed in. Despite the fact that there were probably close to 2000 people on board, we did very little waiting. Do, however, be prepared to do some walking if you are embarking in Vancouver.
Cabin Review
Mini-Suite with Balcony
Cabin MB
Although the upholstery on the furniture in the sitting area was a little shabby, our room was clean and comfortable. The cabin is equipped with two TVs (although not much of a lineup is available) and a small refrigerator. As we were traveling with family, we particularly appreciated having room for visitors to our cabin! The bathroom was small and the tub/shower a little difficult to get in and out of.
Port Reviews
Vancouver
Vancouver is a lovely city with good food and friendly people. I would have liked to spend more time there. I highly recommend Chambar Restaurant as well as Water Street Cafe. We stayed near the pier and were able to walk to the ship, but were also within walking distance of Gastown.
