Sun or Coral Princess?
We booked a 10-night cruise on Sun Princess for Dec. 28, 2006 and got only an Oceanview room w/ balcony. The mini-suite and suites couldn't fit 4 people which we were disappointed in. We found that for 189sq feet was a little small for 4 people, so we cancelled and booked for a Mini-suite on Coral Princess a day earlier, on the same length, for 306 sq feet. However we only paid about $300 less. So would it of been worth it to stay on Sun Princess in a smaller cabin? Or did we make a good decision? Which ship in general is better, Sun or Coral?

You made a great choice.. Conde Nest Traveler magazine rated the Coral Princess the number one large Princess ship.. She is a great lady..

Don't change your mind...we'll have a great time on the Coral. I have heard mainly good things, as Largin suggests.

Good choice ! You will love the Coral and her Panama Canal itinerary. She is our favorite ship so far and the trip was also our favorite.

I been on both the Sun and the Coral. I have to say that I enjoyed both, but overall the Coral is my favourite Princess ship. If only Princess would build more Coral/Island Princess ships.

Been on the Sun and Dawn and have the Coral and Sea booked! I've heard so many good things about the Coral that I think it will be my favorite with the Sun class coming a very very close second!
