Coral Princess

10 Night Panama Canal Partial Transit (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Review summary

The Coral Princess is a smaller, older ship and is showing its age. The casino, Princess theatre and Horizon cafe are small and can get crowded. On dolphin deck there were pipes leaking in the ceiling. I also felt that there was not as much entertainment during sea days or at night. On the plus side the food was excellent and in general the service was good.

For the first time I had a bar waiter argue with me about what I ordered and a dining room waiter who was rude and I asked to change my order.

No waste your money on a min-suite. You get a bathtub and the cabin is 2 feet longer, nothing else. It's not worth it.

Was your cruise recent (after the recent dry dock)? I saw lots of pays on Cruise Critic with glitches of all sorts on the cruise following dry dock
