Customer reviews for Coral Princess
Excellent ship , exceeded expectations. Well maintained clean . Excellent service . Food very good . Steward was excellent didn’t impose .
Coral is a very nice ship with a lot of nice touches but was staring to look a bit tired in certain areas including the cabins. The crew were friendly and helpful and the food was generally very good. The sanctuary was disappointing especially as there were a lot of beds which had no shade available and the was no breeze as it was, unusually, at the stern. So people permanently occupied the tables and chairs in the shade. This meant we had to often go and seek shelter elsewhere on the ship. However overall we had good enjoyable cruise.
March 2025 we had a 25 night cruise from Fort Lauderdale to LA, via Aruba, Panama Canal transit, Panama, Costa Rica, Chiapas, Huatulco and Puerto Vallarta. Ship was excellent as were all of the staff, friendly and helpful as always. Quality of food and drink were very good standard and as a coeliac I would give them 8/10 for catering for a gluten free diet. That said, if I asked for any foods to be checked or exchanged for a GF option, staff went out of their way to help. Cabin was clean and comfortable and the Coral Princess was clean and tidy in all of the public areas, pools, bars and restaurants. Our second cruise with Princess and we are already discussing our next.
The size of the ship was good , Excursions were bit expensive. Food very good , Beds needed new mattress .
