Review summary

First time cruising on Princess and Coral Princess is a good ship. Left from Ft Lauderdale to ports of call the included going through locks in Panama Canal. Ship is new and updated. Captain and crew were freindly and dispalyed good customer service. Stateroom and overall experience is one my wife and I would use Princess Lines again. Most of the Passengers were senior citizens therefore night life was almost not existant after midnight. Believe that is why their was no Midnight Buffet. Boarding the ship was very easy and luggage was in our room when we got to our stateroom. We selected open seating for meals and found it the best way to meet new people. Cruise was smooth their was enough activities to either join in or just watch with out being bothered by them. Ports of all seemed to be short or to lenghty. Not worth going to the Pacific side of canal unless you want to risk missing the ship as some passengers almost did. Overall the Coral Princess was a good adventure to start of the New Year.
