louden Posted July 19, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Excellent!! Best news I have heard. The Island and the Coral have always been favourites. Thank you. Can you tell me if there has been any formal announcement from Princess posted anywhere? Have tried to research this but no luck. Louden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted July 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Excellent!! Best news I have heard. The Island and the Coral have always been favourites. Thank you. Can you tell me if there has been any formal announcement from Princess posted anywhere? Have tried to research this but no luck. Louden No, but some on CC that have Princess connections have confirmed. The dry dock was set for Jan 2016 and cruises were canceled. Then the dry dock was canceled and cruises are available again. Don't think that there was ever really an announcement for the Coral in the first place. Edited July 19, 2015 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonbeam Posted July 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 19, 2015 To be very clear. The scheduled drydock has not been cancelled permanently. It's been postponed, most likely due to some issues that have arisen on the Island. It's fully expected plans will be revised and she will be modified in the future.

pablo222 Posted July 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It's fully expected plans will be revised and she will be modified in the future. That's a shame. I had hoped that the change of plans was due to a change of regulations in Venice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted July 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What's wrong with the changes on the Island? What they did change: o Changed the Universe Lounge into cabins o Changed the rear viewing platforms into cabins o Added additional cabins where part of the casino was o Eliminated the aft part of the outside promenade walkway o Reduced the size of the library What they did not change: o No International Cafe added o No additional public space or dining room space for the additional passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved the aft viewing platforms. Now they've used this space for more cabins :mad:. We hope that the Coral Princess won't be changed in this way!!

adstz Posted July 20, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 20, 2015 These changes are exactly why we switched from the Island to the Coral for our cruise next summer. I will be extremely disappointed if they make the same changes to the Coral. Hope not! Dorothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope not! Dorothy We had similar thoughts on our booking on Celebrity M class ships once they added cabins from public spaces. Loved Coral and Island Princess ships. Need to check on Coral before they do "fix" her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
