Review summary

We loved our fabulous cruise on the Coral Princess! The ship is beautiful, and the staff were excellent in every way. Service was superb, and the entertainment was top shelf. At the end of 10 days...we had relaxed, made new friends, and definitely felt pampered! We highly recommend this experience.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was delicious. A great variety and well prepared and presented. Five stars in the Provence dining room! We enjoyed our waiters at dinner each night! We were in the Provence dining room. Their names are from the Philippines, and their names were Nick Andal and Apol Fernandez. They were friendly, efficient, and classy! Thank you.

Onboard Activities

Simon and Susan and their staff were always upbeat and fun. Wonderful team!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I think we attended every show, and each was excellent. We also enjoyed the live music throughout the sea days. Princess has carefully selected their fabulous entertainers!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Please see the note above about the excellent service we received in dining from Nick and Apol. Also, excellent room service from Franco. During the day, the service by the pool was excellent.

Cabin / Stateroom

Our cabin was changed (upgraded?) to E333. It was in a good location.. We had one difficult night of sleep because the lifeboat in front of our window was banging against the wall. They fixed it for us the next day....but I was not pleased about the loss of one night's sleep. Franco did an excellent job taking care of our cabin....always clean and well-stocked. The hot water in the shower was really only warm. however.
