I am watching harbour cam, you are sailing, lol. Left him behind to mind the dog and be the Uber for the rest of the fam 😀 and yep we started moving as I was typing about the muster drill … 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELep Posted October 8, 2022 #27 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Love this so far. We had a great 10 days on Coral a month ago, We were in aft in E630. Loved it. Quiet, lifts nearly always empty, would be happy with aft again. Enjoy your trip. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted October 8, 2022 #28 Share Posted October 8, 2022 We disembarked from Coral this morning. We had an aft cabin, B710, and found the aft lifts were great. We're embarking again on Tuesday, this time with a mid-aft cabin. I wouldn't be surprised if we often used the aft lifts rather than the midships ones even though it would mean a longer walk. We need the exercise anyway. 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a chef demo lunch in Giovanni’s (Royal Carribbean). It was booked out and I was seated at a large table. As the lunch progressed and the rock n rolling continued, people started to go green, then dart out of Giovanni’s quick smart and not return. Ended up with just two of us left on our table and only 50% of the participants. Didn’t bother me and I enjoyed the 3 courses. But with the forecast of extreme weather, I packed these just to be on the safe side. I have never been sea sick, but I have been told that green apples help a lot. Princess usually had a good supply of them when we sailed. We sailed Coral eight years ago, on a Panama Canal cruise. Be interesting to hear about your experience with medallion. They were just starting to implement it on our last Princess sailing. Have a great cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted October 8, 2022 #30 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) OK guys, very early report on Coral Princess, sourced from the various ship trackers. She is currently about 30 km off the NSW Far South Coast, passing Ulladulla. Been a bumpy night for those on board I believe, they are in a Force 8 gale from the south and travelling slow, like 9 knots. Looks like the sea state is around 4 metres. Still raining down here. Sun loungers, deckchairs should be in ample supply today on Coral Princess. To those on board, enjoy the day.🤢🍸 Edited October 8, 2022 by NSWP 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinating Posted October 9, 2022 #33 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Leaving Sydney last night from the Sydney Harbour Web Cam and Coral Princess Bridge web cam, the weather is certainly improving. I have family on board on their first cruise, apparently young children in cabin on either side of them jumping around and screaming for hours kept them awake, staff were pretty quick to move them when they mentioned it, that’s great service. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were lucky there was a cabin to move them to. Are Princess still having reduced pax or is the cruise just not full? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 9, 2022 Author #39 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Due to dock at 7am. Be nice if the Whale Watching cruise had heated seats. Don’t like my chances. Going to be wearing plenty of layers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 10, 2022 Author #47 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Current balcony view from beautiful Eden. Just opened a bottle of champers. Life is rather nice right now.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted October 10, 2022 Author #49 Share Posted October 10, 2022 This is our only port stop for this short cruise. Yesterday, I accidentally came across the start of the Port info session in the Princess theatre. Now this was not a spiel for their Princess port tours. This was a very detailed info session of what to expect and what to see in Eden with a detailed map provided at the end. I actually personally thanked the staff member at the end for the info he provided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me that we used to get a similar detailed map of directions for all ports of call from the Pursers Office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
