We took the 32 day crossing and from the start it was a nightmare. The ship is old even know we were the first sailing after the dry docking it needs a lot more repairs. Never did get the phone in our room to work. Second night we got locked in room with out phone. No one could get the door open. Finally they came through the adjoining room to get us out. We were moved to another room as they never could get the door to open. We had an evacuation drill that was a complete disaster as crew was so disorganized and Many passengers became injured along with myself. I m handicapped and was at my muster station when a crew member told me I was at the wrong one even know I wasn’t , he had me walk down another flight of stairs when I fell and was hurt. I was helped down and then was told I had to go back up to my original muster station. The entertainment stopped every night at 10:45 leaving many of us with nothing to do. With enough complaints the cruise director extended it to 11pm. This ship is so old and in need of a complete overhaul…

After seeing really poor reviews here we weren’t expecting much but we were pleasantly surprised by the ship. Yes, some areas were in need of work but the current $25 million refurb it is receiving in Singapore may help. Cabin was spacious, clean and surprisingly full,of storage space, bed was super comfy and our room steward, Phil, did a fabulous job keeping it clean and tidy. Food options were plentiful and even the dining areas which were free had great food and outstanding service, in fact the stand out for the cruise was the wonderful service from all the staff we met. The medallion service with our package was the best part of the trip, settle down for cards then order drinks and food to be delivered to wherever you were on the ship, luxury! If you’ve been on a new ship I get the comparison but we loved the old world luxe fittings and enjoyed the good points rather than focus on the age of the ship. Would recommend Princess cruises and am already planning our next cruise with them.…

We have cruised with Princess before so our expectations were high. Sadly, this time we were disappointed. The Coral Princess is not up to their usual standard. She is in need of a serious refurbishment. It has made us cautious about taking any further Princess cruises. The Good: Nice food with lots of choices, plenty of dining options, friendly and obliging crew, clean cabins and public areas. The Bad: Tired looking cabins and corridors (although clean), old stains on the corridor carpets, a musty smell in one corridor, nasty vibration in our cabin on deck 11 which went on 24/7 and kept us awake all night so required a shift to another cabin on deck 8, fresh towels had stains 2 days running, poor entertainment choices. Tip: Do not use their shampoo/conditioner - it turned my hair into a straw like frizz-ball after seemingly stripping all moisture from the hair. I wasn't the only one who experienced this issue.…

While the ship itself was grubby; threadbare carpets, dirty rooms, unhygienic conditions and inedible food, the after sales service is abysmal. We paid for 'specialty' dining in our fare but post cruise they charged us additionally for eating at their downmarket chum buckets. I have emailed and phoned numerous times with no response. There is nobody to speak with and their strategy is to ignore you until you go away. Classy. Cruise with anyone but Princess.…

Just finished a 10 day Papua new Guinea cruise on the beautiful Coral princess. Contrary to last review there are 3 smoking areas for the smokers out there. If you have disability issues you can access the two areas on deck 15 via the lift so no need to climb them stairs. Also no need for stairs on deck 7 smokers area. Also we had no trouble with the medallion, I know people have in the beginning but it was fine for us. Good safety measure actually that they can track you if you go missing. But I don't think anyone is important enough to be personally spied upon. As for the service and staff, taste of food or abundance of it, I could not fault thing. It's the perfect holiday with everything done for you, no cooking, no cleaning, no making your bed or washing up. I cannot find fault with that. Sure Coral princess is an older ship but I loved the decor, service and style…
