Coral Princess

had a good time, relaxing with good views on both sides of ship.

After looking for a short getaway, our travel agent recommended this four-day repositioning cruise. At first we weren't sure because it was 2 days at sea and we're not big fans of sea days, but it was a great price and we were anxious to give Princess a try. What a great idea! We loved it. The ship is beautiful, the staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, and even the entertainment was more fun than we expected. I'm pretty sure the ship was at or near capacity but never once did we feel crowded or annoyed at other people. In fact, we met a few new friends from all over the world (Canada, Australia, Florida).

Overall, we rate this as 'Fair'; Panama Canal was great. Ship itself was disappointing; needs to be renovated.

The ship was great, staff was wonderful (minus passenger services), ship was clean, food was great. Bar tenders poured great drinks, international café made great coffee. I would sail Princess again.

I will never book a cruise on the Coral Princess again! I know no one wants to hear this but as a smoker we were treated like 2nd class passengers even though we paid just as much if not more than the non-smokers. The smoking section was on the top deck with no shade, minimal tables and chairs, the other option was on Deck 7 in a corner with no chairs. The ashtrays were never emptied unless one of the passengers emptied them. We as smokers know we're lepers but we should be provided a comfortable area to smoke.
