A Coral Princess Question

[Bogie89]

My wife and I are planning a cruise on the Coral in January and we heard that the bathrooms are even smaller than on the other ships. Can this be true?

Hi, Bogie89.

 

I just got off of the Coral Princess. Put it this way. I am only 100 pounds. If I dropped the soap, you have to get out of the shower to retrieve it. It is very small.

 

The ship is very nice. We had a lot of fun. Have a good trip.

I agree, it does have the smallest showers. Can't even turn around. The size of a phone booth.

 

Have to say, the ship is beautiful, & is now my favorite.

I had a mini on the Coral, but other family members had a regular balcony cabin. From what I could tell, their bathroom and cabin were identical to a balcony cabin on Golden. Either way, pretty small.

Thin as a rail here, but even I have to admit that the showers on the Coral are small. We were in D-606.

 

That aside, I thought the Coral Princess a very pretty ship.

Have to agree with all of the above posts. The shower is very small but is manageaable. The main thing to remember is the Coral is a great ship. Has now become one of my favorites.

You have to look on the bright side. Unless your in a mini-suite or better the bathroom is "efficient" not tiny. The commode is so close to the sink you can shave, fix your hair, brush your teeth. If your a Lady, add to this, doing your makeup. All while seated doing your business. If your not rail thin, you need only to soap the shower walls, step in, close the curtain, turn on the water, and rotate. If you are over 6'2" you will need to shower 1/2 of your body at a time, with the other half perched on the 18 square inches of usable floor space.

A word of caution. Do not under any circumstances allow anything to block the tiny crack at the bottom of the door if you were foolish enough to close it while inside. The powerful, unclosable, suction vent in the ceiling will deplete the available oxygen so rapidly that fainting or worse could result.

Also, the cruise ship comedians are not just joking about not flushing that commode while seated. If you are a large person and create a tight seal on the half-size seat, serious internal injury could occur. Especially if you had a stuffy nose, and your mouth was closed.

But seriously folks, of all the different classes of Princess ships i've been on, the Coral was my favorite, and the most beautiful inside.
