Review summary

Surprised. This is my favorite Princess ship so far. It has most features of the larger ships plus the fabulous Universe Lounge. It is the smallest princess ship I’ve been on. I fear they are planning to replace the Universe Lounge with cabins. If that happens the Coral Princess will become awkward like the Island Princess. I love the layout of the ship with a continuous promenade on one level. The ship was by far the best managed so far. Food service in the mdr’s was great and the food was varied and consistently very good. The wait staff is super well trained. The international cafe, bars and alternative dining were wonderful. I do not like or use buffets so I cannot critique the horizon court. The entertainment was the biggest surprise. The quality of music, shows and other entertainment was really good. One night they flew in one of the top violinists in the world. Unbelievably good. They had so many music venues I never saw them all. The wine events and spa were also very well run. The wine lists were fairly comprehensive. Many of the employees have been with Princess many years. Maintenance activities were continual. The ship has so many viewing places on top. This made for a great scenic cruise.

We just finished a 15 day Panama Canal cruise on the Coral Princess. Loved the ship, food (restaurants and buffets) bingo, entertainment, trivia games and casino. We loved our waiters on table #187 in the Province. Our cabin steward, Carlito....the best ever!! They don’t hire grouchy rude people on the Coral Princess.

Wow, that says a lot for an older, smaller ship. Can't wait to try out the Coral!
