Review summary

the Cora princess is a bit older and much smaller than the new ships, but it offers the no crowd problem, short waits for shore exploring, very fast on and off the ship and may I put in CAPS, the entertainment was above first class, I have been on about 37 cruises and seen tons of shows, the group on the Coral Princess was the finest ever, three standing ovations! The ship size lets you enjoy the ample deck space, fast service and great ports and the buffet is full and complete if you don't want to dress for dinner in smart casual wear. Remember you can always  find your cabin, the carpet on the the even numbered cabins are in red and the odd numbered cabins have blue carpet, Also the IT staff is young and very friendly with all your needs. Everything you like to eat is available on deck 14 every day, duck to turkey to lamb to steak!!

big enough, with balcony to get around, the shower is tight-thus don't drop the soap bar, getting is back is you exercise for the day!

Ship tip

small enough to get fast service, no lines to get service or on-off the ship,extremely great entertainmen-thanks SUSAN!Fastest on-off to start and finish the cruise.

smaller ship, about 2,000 people, much nicer than a mega ship, plenty of room everywhere, no lines for anything, fantastic entertainment,plus you get SUSAN who runs the young staff and is mom to everyone!
