The food on this cruise the coral princess was the worst we ever had on a cruise .food was overcooked and at times criminated.the variety was awful in fact terrible. breakfast was minimal and lacked fresh fruit,we were told fresh fruit was only for decrative purposes on cakes. The lunch time food was mushy and you didn't know what you where eating. The evening was the same. The ship itself was old and needs refurbishment ,some of the public toilets on the ship smelled badly. The lifts were quite dirty. The shore excursions were the places that you wouldn't what to visit. The staff aboard the ship were very good and helpful but they couldn't do a lot about the food. The embarkation was fast because we took our own baggage.we would not go on a princess cruise again and would definitely not recommend it to anybody. We are extremely disappointed
