Iglu Cruise customer reviews for Coral Princess
Our cruise was OK but it had no wow factor, annd no feeling of being in the Caribbeanand although the ship is a perfect size it certainly is showing its age. Although there is a very nice card room on Deck 8 and also certain games were able to be played in the dining room in the dining room, there were guests who were wanting to play bridge, but because a time slot was not printed on the Princess Patter it was impossible to get 4 people to liaise, and it does need a host, so disappointing. .
Our first cruise with Princess and it did not disappoint. The ship is beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. The crew to passenger ratio was excellent and meant we never had to queue/wait for anything. All the staff were 1st class and nothing was too much trouble. The food on the whole was also excellent especially Sabatini’s & Crown Grill. Special mentions to Henry & Paul at Crooners, Ysrael in Sabatini’s and our cabin attendant Gede
Nice cabin, good food, great staff. Showing old films on deck was penny pinching. Night time bands were all lounge type music for old people got repetitive over 23 nights.
A relatively small ship, very friendly crew. Coral Princess is quite old but well maintained the facilities are more suited to an older passenger
