The Coral Princess receives high marks for its exceptional service, memorable itineraries (especially the Panama Canal), and overall value. Guests frequently praise the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, the quality of excursions, and the comfortable accommodations. However, some reviews note that the ship is showing its age, with occasional maintenance and cleanliness issues, and opinions on food and entertainment are mixed. While many guests found the cruise to be a great value and highly enjoyable, others were disappointed by certain aspects such as food quality, port stops, and organization of excursions. Overall, the Coral Princess is recommended for its service and unique itineraries, though expectations should be managed regarding ship condition and some amenities.
