Coral Princess suite ?
Next January will be my first cruise on Princess. Having better than 40
cruises on various lines we are really looking forward to sailing Princess, it had never before fallen into our schedule requirements, Also looking forward to seeing Panama Canal. Being new to Princess line I have a couple of questions: Originally booked a AA suite but have since dropped to an AB both because it appears to be the same size but better located amidship and also less expensive. It would seem that nothing differs between AA and AB on Coral Princess but deck location. Is this a correct assessment? Our primary cruiseline preference are Celebrity and RCI. Is there any significant variation between the experience cruising Princess versus those lines?

Coral Princess suite ?
Hi, George!
Based on my most recent experiences (but most recent Princess cruise was a couple of years ago, I think), dining room food on Princess was worse than the other two, buffet food better. And Princess was the first of the lines, as far as I know, to start the annoying nonsense of giving you your pool towel in your cabin. I think Princess tends to be little more lively than Celebrity and a little less than RCI. I'm too lazy to look this up, but if the mini-suite on the Coral is like the ones on the Golden, you will love your cabin. Eileen Georgeny wrote: Next January will be my first cruise on Princess.

We found the food on RCI to be very poor, with only a few good dishes. Our one Celebrity cruise we found the food to be very good. Have sailed Princess 4 times and found the food good, but it has been a couple of years now. sue |

Coral Princess suite ?
Eileen,
Thank you for the reply. Still looking for anyone that has experience with AA versus AB suite on Coral Princess. I don't remember now which ship it was that we had the pool towel in the cabin but although initially thought it was a pain turned out I actually liked it. The only reason being was that it eliminated all the confusion of people leaving towels on poolside seats making knowing if a chair was in use or not annoying. You could also get a towel at the pool but had to sign for it, being charged if you did not return it.

Coral Princess suite ?
It is my understanding that we can opt for traditional as well which is what
we will do. We did experience FREESTYLE dining on NCL Dawn past Summer and Fall and it was fine but we prefer traditional when available.

"Georgeny" Our primary cruiseline preference are Celebrity and RCI. Is there any significant variation between the experience cruising Princess versus those lines? We cruised on the Star Princess and the Celebrity Mercury last year and there were significant differences between the two cruises. The most obvious difference was related to dining choices. You are accustomed to a more structured approach to dining with Celebrity and RCI. Princess offers Personal Choice dining and you can get something to eat 24 hours per day. There are other differences, but I leave that to others to discuss. |

How can a chair be "in use" if no one is there and no one in the chair next to it is obviously holding it for the BRIEF time the occupant is using the rest room or grabbing a quick snack to bring back? |
