The Coral Princess was recommended to us by a Youtuber and they were shown to be so right. In brief I loved it.
The embarkation process from Brisbane was not as chaotic as I feared and we were on board in under 30 minutes. However I have to say that lots of people ignored their arrival notifications and they were the cause of any difficulty others may have faced.
Our Balcony Cabin seemed ...
It's been a long cold winter and I needed a warm getaway. The Ruby Princess had just started sailing from Galveston to the western caribbean, they were offering great rates and OBC, so I jumped on it. This was my 10th cruise and 2nd cruise on Princess in the last 2 months. I traveled solo in a balcony cabin on Baja deck 11 forward.
I flew into Houston Hobby a day prior and spent the night at ...
We had a great time. Almost everything was exceptional: the food, the service, the entertainment, the ships facilities. This was the first cruise that we splurged on a room with a balcony -- and it was fabulous. We lett the doors open at night and enjoyed the sounds of the waves. The balcony certainly helped make the room feel larger! We had exceptional service in the dining room and ...
It's nice to be a virgin at 69, and this Caribbean cruise did it for me. It met my criteria beautifully:1) few children, 2) almost no lines, 3) 24/7 really fast room service, and 4) leisurely linen service dining with dishes I had no intention of preparing ever. As an added bonus, boarding from Galveston with the Medallion meant less than 15 minutes from being dropped off to sitting comfortably ...
We were two adults in our 50s with our two adult children in their 20s. We had two interior cabins on different decks.
Really nice trip. Embarkation was smooth. Get your medallion ahead of time; it saves you a lot of time at check in. The ship is classy and clean. The rooms are standard cruise cabins and have all you need. All Princess employees were pleasant and willing to help with any ...
I chose this cruise for the itinerary. I wanted to go from Port Everglades to LA through the Panama Canal's historic locks. The Island Princess was the perfect size. I wanted 'sea days', and with only 4 port days, this itinerary was perfect. I'm in my 60's and took my adult daughter. It was my 4th time with Princess. 21st cruise on 8 different cruise lines.
We were sailing a 14 day leg of their ...
We chose this cruise for a relaxing time as I had recently had surgery.
Fewer excursion days and more cruising was a priority.
Bucket list as well!
A very memorable experience was when we were crossing the Drake Passage. The seas were 26' and the winds were 115MPH! It was like being in a Catogory 3 hurricane!
The Sapphire princess is one of the older ships in the fleet. We found it ...
The Coral Princess is a beautiful ship.The décor is very different. If I were to name a style I would say the the Universe Lounge was Steam Punk at sea, the Wheelhouse bar was old world charm, warm and inviting, and the specialty restaurants were mediterranean. The Shops of princess featured stained glass windows. Everywhere you looked it was a visual feast. Highlights were the wrap around ...
I choose this cruise as I had always wanted to see the Panama Canal, it was a great experience. The Emerald Princess is not a new ship but it is well maintained. The ship was recently in drydock and some cosmetic improvements were noticeable, particularly new carpets in the hallways and in some cabins. Work was on going during this cruise but did interfere with the cruise experience. The ...
Took Alaskan Cruise in July 2022 on Ruby, had the worst experience. Embarkation was nightmare, had to wait for about 3 hours to board. With COVID epidemic in full swing, this was a traveler's nightmare. Firstly, peak summer, long lines and fellow passengers in close proximity. Took even more than an hour to get to the boat deck from Port. Due to this frustrating experience, promised never to use ...
