We choose this cruise for the itinerary. But wish that we had chosen another ship. the Coral Princess seems tired and worn out. The staff was GREAT and really enjoyed the good, clean entertainment.
The port of calls were excellent and I think that Princess worked hard (and succeeded) in making the trip through the Panama Canal very memorable. The narrator through out the crossing, Chris, was excellent as were his daily seminars about the upcoming ports and offered shore excursions. The fact that the Princess photographers were allowed to go off the ship and take pictures of the travelers on our balconies. That was great.
The food was good, but as vegetarians, we didn't sample a lot of what was put out. The buffet was always attractive and clean.
The cabin needs spruced up. The wood on the furniture is VERY marred, chipped paint on the balcony, shower drain didn't drain well, general scratches and nicks.
On the other hand, it was very clean, the arrangement was excellent.
