Larger Princess cruise ships do not fit through the Panama Canal, but the Coral Princess cruise ships was specifically designed for this task, and helps her to navigate the Gulf of Alaska also.

The Coral Princess cruise ship is narrower, but just as long as the Grand Class cruise ships. This change in design permits her to fit through the Panama Canal. Although the Coral Princess cruise ship is narrower than most of the Princess Cruiseline, she is just as long, thus providing ample room for other amenities aboard this ship. Almost 85 percent of the rooms on the Coral Princess cruise ship are outside rooms and over 80 percent of these provide balconies. The Coral Princess cruise ship has less inside cabins, thus utilizing more of the space inside the ship for the Princess amenities we all love. This is the perfect combination when it comes to taking an Alaskan cruise or a Panama Canal cruise because you will certainly not want to miss a moment of scenery just because you are in your room.

The Coral Princess cruise ship is geared more towards adults and you will not find near so many hangouts for the kids as on other Princess cruiseships. There is a teen center and youth center on the Coral Princess, but it is much smaller than the larger ships. So you may think about another Princess cruise ship if it is a family vacation you are planning and you want your kids to be around hundreds of other children. Most children over 10 will enjoy the scenery and this will not be a problem, but there will be less children on this ship than the larger Princess cruise ships. The Coral Princess cruise ship carries 1970 passengers in mostly balcony suites, making this a more intimate ship and perfect for weddings at sea, the Captain of the ship can even perform the services if this is in your wedding plans.

Food on the Coral Princess cruise ship is nothing short of the excellence that Princess cruiseline is known for. Princess’s “Personal Choices” flexible dining program, whereby passengers can opt either for traditional two-seating dining, or dine when and with whom they please, is nowhere better implemented than on this ship. The Bayou Cafe and Sabatini’s are both operating on this ship as well as many other Princess cruise ships and there food is close to unbeatable. The Horizon Court offers standard cafeteria dining for breakfast and lunch, but can get a bit swanky at night.

The Coral Princess cruise ship spends half the year taking passengers on breathtaking Alaskan cruises through the inside passage. The winter months are dedicated to Panama Canal cruises, on these cruises not only will you visit the Panama Canal, but also several exciting ports of call in the western Caribbean. Whichever cruise you choose, the Coral Princess cruise ship is sure to please and leave an everlasting memory upon your heart.
