The 5 BEST Things on Coral Princess [Best things to see and do on a Coral Princess Cruise]

There is a lot to like about Coral Princess, so narrowing it down to just five highlights was a genuine challenge! Built in the early 2000s during the P&O Princess era, this ship strikes a perfect balance between traditional maritime charm and modern innovation. I was lucky enough to cruise aboard her in October 2022 as a guest of Princess Cruises to experience the ship and the Medallion technology firsthand. In this video, we explore the standout features that make this ship a favourite, from her "Cunardite" design influences to the industry-leading service from her crew. Our Top 5 WOW Factors: The Open Decks: A rarity on modern ships, she features a full wrap-around promenade clad in real teak wood; perfect for arrivals and departures. The Bayou Café: An immersive, Southern US-inspired space with faux brick walls and a menu featuring incredible lobster and showstopping cheesy garlic bread. The Princess Medallion: My first experience with this wearable tech, which made embarkation a breeze (just 15 minutes from kerb to gangway!) and allows for easy cabin access and drink orders. The Wheelhouse Bar: A true treasure trove for maritime historians, filled with authentic ship bells, vintage posters, and models that reflect the heritage of P&O and Princess Cruises. The Superb Crew: From bar staff who remembered my favourite drink to a cabin attendant who provided exceptional, personalised service, the crew truly made the voyage.
