can786 Posted December 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have booked an Alaskan cruise on the Island Princess for next June and in my search for pictures of the ship I seem to find many more pictures of the Coral Princess than the Island Princess. I know that the layout is essentially the same for both ships but I was wondering if there was a big difference in decor and ambiance or can I look at the pictures of the Coral Princess interiors and know that it is very similar to the Island? I am looking forward to trying this class of ship as I really like the Sea Princess and find the Grand Class ships to be too large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are identical and built at the same specs in France, (couple years apart) however the Island had the Santuary added in a wet dock in May at San Pedro. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LARGIN Posted December 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Casinos are themed differently.. The Coral, it's London, the Island is Paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickEk Posted December 30, 2008 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Beyond the differently-themed casinos and the Island's new Sanctuary, everything is pretty much the same. Carpeting might be different with the Island favoring blue and the Coral favoring...well coral tones. You can't go wrong with either ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted December 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The coral/Island ships are my favorites of the fleet. Other than what was mentioned above they are the same ship. enjoy. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

can786 Posted December 30, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I figured that looking at pictures of the Coral would be pretty much the same as the Island. I just wanted to ask to make sure before I directed my brother and his wife, who are joining us for their first Princess cruise to any sites with pictures.
