Coral Princess is one of two Coral Class ships, and at around 91k gross tonnes, is currently the smallest vessel in the Princess fleet. Her sleek exterior and smaller size are purposeful, as she was designed to sail through the narrow locks of the Panama Canal.
With a double occupancy capacity of around 2000 passengers, she actually has a great passenger to space ratio. Her main Princess theatre is located forward on deck 7. She has a range of bar and lounge venues to enjoy, plus a wraparound promenade deck.
We’ll first take a look at the Wheelhouse Bar, before venturing back into the spectacular 4 storey atrium where we’ll find Crooner’s Bay and Churchill Lounge. The shops of Princess, plus the Provence and Bordeaux Dining rooms are located on Decks 6 and 5.
We’ll walk past the main reception desk on Deck 5, and take a glance at the Good Spirits bar.
On Deck 6 we’ll walk past the last of the Princess Shops, and also look at the Oceanfront - Princess’ Medallion centre. Next up is the casino and the international cafe.
The Explorer's Lounge is a large entertainment venue, complete with cosy seating and a bar.
The Universe Lounge is a two storey show lounge and entertainment venue located at the aft of the ship.
Specialty dining venues are located on Deck 7, with the New Orlean’s inspired Bayou Cafe and Steakhouse and Sabatini’s. Sabatini’s doubles as Alfredo’s during lunch time, offering complimentary pizzas.
Up to Deck 8, we’ll see the internet cafe, the library and the card room.
On Deck 14, Princess’ onboard buffet is a bustling complimentary dining venue. With multiple stations, there is an abundance of freshly prepared food available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Outside, the midship pool and hot tubs are flanked by the poolside bar and the Princess Pizzeria - where you can find complimentary, freshly made pizza by the slice.
Deck 15, overlooking the midship pool, is where you can access the upper level of the indoor pool zone - called The Conservatory.
On the lower level, you’ll find the ice cream bar, Lotus Pool and hot tubs, and Lotus Bar. The entrance to the Lotus Spa is here as well.
The beauty salon is part of the Lotus Spa, but has a separate entrance.
The fitness centre is located aft on Deck 14, and is quite large.
Heading further aft and outdoors on Deck 14, you’ll come across The Sanctuary. This adults only outdoor space is complete with cabanas and comfortable lounge chairs, plus a pool. There are also snacks and drinks on offer, and you can organise al fresco massages here. The cost to access this space is around $40 per day.
Center Court is where you’ll find basketball and deck games including shuffleboard and deck chess.
The midship pool is also the location of the Princess’ famous Movies Under the Stars. On Deck 15, you’ll also find another bar and the grill - a complimentary dining venue for poolside burgers, hot dogs, pies and chips.
Forward and up to Deck 16 is the splash-pool, a quiet and under utilised space.
Thank you for watching!
