We originally booked an obstructed view oceanview stateroom on Emerald deck but about three months prior to sailing we received an offer to upgrade to a premium view balcony stateroom on Caribe deck for $78.  We were on the starboard side, which was good since the cruise was up the Pacific coastline. Flat screen TV on the wall now frees up easier access to the wall outlet in the minibar storage tower. Still the crappy hair dryer on the wall.  Dreaded shower curtain in the bathroom and a postage stamp sized shower - I think the smallest size shower of any Princess ship I’ve been on. Otherwise, the typical setup for a balcony stateroom.
This was our first cruise on a ship with the Princess Luxury Bed.  It’s fantastic! Supportive yet cushy mattress.  Poofy pillows. Top sheet plus a duvet.

Day 3 Breakfast - Buffet plus pastries from International Cafe

Day 3 Lunch - Alfredo’s Pizzeria at Sabatini’s (complementary; doesn’t offer the pastas that Alfredo’s does on the Royal Class ships but has more pizza offerings than what you can get on deck; Scott had the daily special beef & chili flakes, I had the Coral Princess)

Day 3 Snacks - International cafe

Day 3 Dinner/Dessert - Buffet (Indian Feature)

Disembarkation 

We left the cabin about 7:00 (required to leave by 8:00) and went to the buffet for breakfast.Tips & Tricks

- Alfredo’s pizzeria in Sabatini’s 

- Tiramisu martini is only available at the bar for Bayou Steakhouse

- "By the Bayou" production show in Universe Lounge - unique to Coral but they didn’t offer this show on this 3 night cruise which was a bummer

	

Final Thoughts

This was our 18th cruise - 11th on Princess.
