caribill Posted January 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I wonder what they are taking out to fit in 13 more cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted January 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I wonder what they are taking out to fit in 13 more cabins. I was wondering about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsy Posted January 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Great news! We have a cruise booked on her next year. It will be our first time on that class ship and eveyone loves the IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted January 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I wonder if that space is coming from the Casino, which seems larger than necessary. Sure hope they're not taking away the Library, but it and the Card Room would be about the right size for adding that many cabins. The notification also mentioned a dual wedding chapel/conference room. Wherever the old conference room is now might become the new cabins, too. If there even is a conference room. I may be confusing her with the big girls. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing55 Posted January 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nice to see that the IC is coming. It sounded like a great ship already. Now it should be even better. Can't wait to see it first hand next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themerle Posted January 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm soooooo excited about the IC! I love the Coral and the IC is the one thing that I miss on the Coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruzPrincess Posted January 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I just read this about the Coral. I'm happy to hear about the International cafe, but I hope we don't lose the library. I've always speculated that they would do something with the card room space, so I wonder if they're going to turn that into cabins. I'm going on the Island this fall and I wish the renovations would be on the Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Additional cabins means additional passengers. One of the nice things about the Coral/Island Princess is the passenger ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntvsdgrl Posted January 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This August will be my first cruise on Princess and on the Coral to Alaska. After reading the posts on here, I was wishing Coral had one and now it looks like I'll get to experience it. High Heel Girl, how do you get the Princess CC newsletter?

shredie Posted January 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The current Coral wedding chapel is pretty bare bones and out of the way. It will be interesting to see how that is improved. I can't think where they would put 13 new cabins. I doubt they would take the room from the casino. It's pretty dinky as it is. I can envision the IC--there is a lot of poorly used space in the atrium on that level. Sounds great! Must book when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us2 Posted January 29, 2013 #13 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The Island is scheduled for drydock on October 10. Has anyone heard whether it will get the same changes including the IC. The IC really adds to the cruise enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted January 29, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We are currently on the Coral and I heard from two reliable sources that the Coral will get an IC during her January drydock. It would be located in part of the area that is currently the Casino Bar on Fiesta deck. Has anyone heard this information or is it just a pipe dream?Looks like the information I posted last September was correct. I was a little concerned when one of the officers at our M&G on the Island this month stated that the sign-off had not been completed for the Island mods and that hers would be first. Glad that info was incorrect. The Islands drydock has been postponed until 2014 so no IC for her until next year :( This is probably the location of her new IC.

Now how and where they are going to be shoehorning those cabins onto that deck is up for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now how and where they are going to be shoehorning those cabins onto that deck is up for discussion.If that information is correct then the cabins would span the entire length of the Casino. That would be a significant reduction in the size of the Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
