Review summary

We liked the Coral Princes very much. The ship was in much better condition than our recent experience with Holland America. The ship was a nice size, and everything was very convenient to our stateroom. The stateroom itself was a great layout, and seemed less crowded than other similar-sized cabins we've had on other lines. The cabin steward was amazing, and our cabin was always pristine. We enjoyed the food very much, and we loved open dining. We got to meet many interesting and fun people. The demographic of the ship was a little old for us, but it may just have been the particular cruise we were on. For the most part the entertainment was on par with other ships and lines we've sailed.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The production company was excellent. Some of the musicians were sub-standard. Lounge entertainment was great. We could have lived without the juggler, vantriloquist and comedians.

Pros: Going through the Panama Canal is amazing. The whole trip was brought to life by on-board lectures and narrations.

Cons: We didn't like all the people approaching us to buy their merchandise in Costa Rica and Columbia.
