Coral Princess and Island Princess They are the two loveliest cruise ships out there, further refining the princess’ vision for the large ships and having a sense of intimacy. Outside, about 83% of the exterior cabins have balconies on them, but their layered design greatly improves the appearance of a typical Megaship “balcony wall” and contributes to a clean and flowing outline. On the top, you’re impressed by the futuristic look of the vessels but purely decorative jet engine funnels that fly out of the water and into orbit.

put up juuuu- us These boats are able to cross the Panama Canal (about 2 feet of space on each side), and these boats are very spacious and well-set and will never feel crowded even if they are full. Although they are bigger than the fifth ship of the Sun-class ships on this line, they are based on double occupancy and carry only over 20 passengers, which means you have more space. The understated interior is both classic and modern, with internet center and era square news signups at the corner of Woodsy, almost an Edwardian lounge. Our favorite spaces: Club Cab Bar Bars for pre-dinner drinks; New Orleans-themed Bayou restaurant jazz bar until around midnight; a quiet, Balinese-style solarium where your book must be damn good to keep you from hang out; and a cosmic lounge with everything from cooking classes and lectures to mature production performances.

The decor is glued to the Princess’ fleet-wide standard with interior decor and walls, in easy-to-eye-opening earth tones and white, all trimmed in cream bottle wood. Everyone has a safe, hairdryer, mini iFridges and TV. Interior and standard cabins can be repaired if 160 square feet and 168 square feet respectively. Most private balconies are built on a downward level – the positive of soaking the sun is negative for all privacy. The standard cabin bathroom has small shower stalls and plenty of counter space.

The mini socket (323 square feet) provides more space without jumping into the cost stratosphere and has a larger balcony and a considerable living area with sofa bed and two TVs, one facing the living area and the other facing the bed, which is a weird touch – because there is no partition, but what the hell is. The bathroom has more tub and counter space than the standard cabin. Storage space for the standard exterior cabin and mini-closet are enough, with a large shelf closet and open clothes rack facing the small dressing wall co-co on the bathroom door. Sixteen full suites sit and sleeping areas, very large balcony, free stocked minibar, robes, whirlpool tub and separate shower in bathroom and a walk-in closet. Suite guests receive additional privileges.

Twenty cottages on each ship have access to wheelchairs.

To accommodate the concept of the princess’ personal choice, two similar restaurants – Provence and Bordeaux – are dedicated to traditional fixed dining and personal choices at any time, respectively. Both single-story rooms are low-key and spacious with lots of elbow rooms (i.e. on armchairs that are unusually narrow on some tables).

There are two specialty restaurants: the eight-course Italian event Sabatini ($20 per person) and the Bayou Cafe and Steakhouse ($15 per person), a New Orleans restaurant with a soft, wooden vibe, faux brick walls, lantern walls, lantern lanterns, new Orleans Murals Murals On the Wall wall wall wall wall wall. Dinner here includes a barbecue alligator rib appetizer and main courses such as seafood gummy, fried fish, grilled giant shrimp and chicken and chicken jambalaya. Steak options include the New York Strip and porters. The jazz trio is played during dinner and then continues for the accompanying bar customers at midnight. Sprinkle carnival beads on the table for extra atmosphere.

The 24-hour horizon buffet restaurant on the boat is very comfortable, although the circular layout of the food station (no clear roads) usually leads to chaos. The grill overlooks the main pool, serves burgers, hot dogs and more in the afternoon, excellent pizza, one with a deck (just in front of the pool), ice cream and fresh juices available on Solarium’s ice cream bars and juice bars. Inside, at the bottom of the atrium, La Patisserie is a pleasant lounge/cafe with free coffee and specialty coffee for extra charges, free cookies and candy. Since the room is almost at sea level, it’s a place worth a visit and it’s worth spending at least a minute here as your boat crosses the Panama Canal, and the canal wall is actually only a few feet away. It was a strange experience.

The layout is one of the areas where these ships really shine and have decks and common areas arranged so it is always easy to find your own way out. Most indoor public spaces are located on decks 6 and 7, starting with the large Princess Theater of the bow. Unlike many of the gorgeously decorated, two-deck theatres on the new boat, this is a classic sloping single-level space without any themed décor. You can enjoy the views from each comfortable theater seat, with few flipped tables on their arms to hold drinks, or your notebook is yours when the room is used for lectures or other rich events. Further away, the Explorer’s Lounge is a small-scale performance lounge for comedians, karaoke, game performances and dances decorated with European explorers who evoke 19th century romance, with vague Islamic tiles patterns, African and Asian artworks, original artworks, original artworks, original walls, walls on the walls and dark woody ambience. Important sports events are played here on multiple large screens.

At the stern, the Universe Lounge is an innovative multi-functional space that hosts TV-style cooking demonstrations (with a full kitchen on the stage), computer classes (with 50 computers connected around the room), lectures and mature production performances, in three low interconnected stages, which are three low interconnected stages that are compared to you, and are cycling in all three stages, and can be cycling in all three stages – this is a stage of one stage – this is a stage of one stage – this is a stage of one stage – this is a stage of one stage, this is a stage of one stage. The show is custom-made to take advantage of all these options, with most of the action being done on the ground for a real flooring show.

Some outstanding bars and lounges include a sea-themed cab bar, a private attraction, dressed in classic dark woods with heavy leather and corduroy armchairs and love seats, faux marble pillars, dome ceiling lights, small tail lights. In the evening, a small band performed jazz and pop for dancing, and on some afternoons, the string quartet of the boat performed classical repertoire. At one entrance to the lounge, a small museum displays souvenirs from P&O history. Nearby, the low-key four-deck atrium is surrounded by onboard shops, internet centers, news stocks and several other rooms. Churchill’s Cigar Lounge is a cozy room with large windows, a cigar sheet under the portrait of the room’s eponymous name, armchairs and sofas for only 10 people. Crooners is a mouse piano with a Las Vegas/Martini vibe. Every night, a real live performer plays on the piano.

A level level, the boat’s library and card room are both very large and comfortable, despite the layout – the entrance from the atrium and the medium elevator/stair tower both mean that people often use the room as access, adding more hustle and bustle than we want in the library. Theme Casino (On ​​London coral, Open in Paris island) and a wedding chapel, surrounding the space of the adult public room.

On the stern of the deck 12, there is a bright and very considerate entertainment area and Pelican’s Playhouse Children’s Center, as well as a small teenager center with computers and dance floors. Outside is the children’s play area and the small Pelican pool. The bright pottery studio on board is also hidden here, giving it an adult playroom feel.

The boat’s main pool area is spacious but surprisingly average, with a main pool and three large hot tubs surrounded by sunny areas. During the day, the Steel Durum duo performed on a small, low-key stage. Stepping towards the stern, the sun terrace (also known as the Lotus Pond) is a more interesting area decorated with Balinese patterns that have a tranquil feel-although if there are a lot of kids on board, the tranquility may not last. The stylish wooden deck chairs (and the more traditional “royal teak” on the wraparound promenade deck) pass by much more than the white plastic lounge chairs around the main pool. Sliding glass roofs protect the area in harsh weather. On the sports deck, there is a wading adult swimming pool. The two ships also offer princess movies, under the stars, outdoor movie screens and adult-only shelter relaxation area.

Fitness facilities include a surprisingly small but well-equipped gym, as well as a relatively large separate aerobics room. On the top deck, there is a basketball/volleyball court, a computerized golf simulator and a 9-hole miniature golf course. Although the latter is in the open air, you have to enter through windowless wooden doors, which makes it look permanently closed. It’s not; just keep going.

At the stern of the deck 14, the Bali-themed Lotus Spa offers the usual massages, mud and beauty treatments, plus a hot suite (universal suite with a variety of heat treatments) and a lovely sea-view salon. For its value – because the spa is run by Steiner (the company that runs almost every cruise spa), and the staff changes regularly – we operate on one of our best cruise massages Coral Princess, Almost painful deep tissue exercise massage makes us feel completely loose and refreshed.
