GloriaF Posted October 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Congrats and Welcome from me too! 25 years is quite an achievement! :D The Coral is the perfect size ship, and is one of my two favorites, the other being the Regal. We cruised in Alaska on the Coral and could find nothing to complain about! As you can see from my signature, I am loyal to Princess and keep coming back. You will be most likely become an avid cruiser like the rest of us. Everyone has a first cruise, then the list just keeps growing. :) There are many people on this board willing to share info, so just keep reading and posting -- and welcome again!

mii Posted October 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Congrats for 25 years. We have been on the Coral Panama Canal route and you are going to love that cruise. The Coral is my favorite ship, not too big or not to small, just right (1950 passengers). Have a great cruise. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katisdale Posted October 15, 2005 #6 Share Posted October 15, 2005 We have taken the 10 day Panama canal cruise although not on the Coral. This cruise is one of my favorites. The canal itself is amazing. It was built in the 1910's and is still in use today. There is a book called "The Path Between the Seas" that I highly recommend reading before you go. What happened to allow this canal to be built is astonishing. We did the renewal of vows on the CB for our 35th wedding anniversary. We did the lower priced option (no robes, no spa treatments, no breakfast) and it was wonderful. It was done on a formal night so we were dressed up and went to dinner when we were finished. It was very moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
