Reviewer read

A solid, middle-of-the-fleet ship. It falls behind on ship quality.

Coral Princess rates higher overall than 65% of the ships we track. Value is its strongest showing. The weak spot is ship quality.

The one caution

8.5out of 10 for ship quality

Higher than only 34% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.75.

Of the 1,134 reviewers who wrote about it, 58% were positive.

Everything else, in two lines

Nine are good without being remarkable: value, embarkation, public areas, service, dining, entertainment, fitness, disembarkation and activities. They rate higher than 50% to 79% of ships.

Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 33 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Two fall below the fleet: cabins (higher than only 48% of ships) and ship quality (higher than only 34% of ships).

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.29 and 8.48. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
