Coral Princess specialty dining

[norcalcruzr]

We usually do the Alaska cruises out of San Francisco on the Grand Princess. We are thinking of doing the Coral Princess in 2019 and would like to know what specialty restaurants are on the Coral. Also does the Coral have the International Cafe?

Here's the dining options on Coral, with descriptions, sample menus, etc .

Ultimate Balcony Breakfast/Dinner is also an option.. Usually listed elsewhere though, under Gifts and such.

The link you see above is too generic and is not for the Coral itself. Yes there is a IC but is located on deck 6 adjacent (just about on top of) the casino. It's smaller than those on the larger ships, but quite adequate. Then again, the smoke from the casino drifts into the seating area.

Our favorite specialty restaurant on Coral is the Bayou Cafe which is their steakhouse ... wonderful steaks!

Yes, there is an Internation Cafe.

We love Coral Princess! :hearteyes:

Unless the link was edited after your comment it certainly is the ship-specific amenities page for Coral Princess. Though it is missing links to the specialty restaurant menus.

There, and the deck plans, is where the OP should start their research.

All I can say to the OP (beyond of course that questions of fact should be answered from the primary source) is that if they are contemplating Alaska on Coral Princess (they didn't say where they are looking at Coral for) once you take the open-ended Voyage of the Glaciers cruise you will not want to return to the round-trip versions--especially from San Francisco with the wasted sea days at the start and finish.

 

ADDENDUM: As you are familiar with Grand Princess you may be pleased to know that on Coral Princess Alfredo's Pizza is offered for no charge from Sabatini's at lunchtime once or twice each cruise. Unfortunately when I went on Island Princess (the only other ship doing so) the pizza was very poorly made.

Thank you all for your replies, the Bayou special restaurant menu looks great. Glad to know there's an International Cafe for morning coffee. Nice that the promenade deck goes all around.

On the Coral in Alaska this year. The Bayou Cafe had a wonderful grilled halibut!

Yes, we got a generously sized and very good steak at the Bayou Cafe....

But, sadly, our ratings on every single other aspect of that experience were 'poor'.
