WillingToBeDazzled

"Celebrity Today!" delivered daily becomes a record of the cruise along with my trip journal. I have every single issue from every cruise, and they're a fun memento. "Oh, remember that Latin dance class on our first night, poolside on Deck 10?" The activities, times, and places are there!

You will not feel sad when sail on Coral Princess. I cheated and had a wonderful time. It is hard for me to get service, food and demographics to my liking, but that sailing was perfect. I have three booked with with Celebrity and I will start roaming again, as well. The entertainment and activities are not my liking anymore on Celebrity. I walked out of the three shows that I attempted to attend on the last 14 night sailing.

Thanks for the encouragement re our trying Coral Princess -- leaving Celebrity for the 1st time. From what I'm reading on CruiseCritic, I am certain we'll enjoy the new experience.

For the first time, DH and I are being unfaithful to Celebrity as the couple we are sailing with through the Panama Canal want to stop in Aruba. Celebrity doesn't offer that stop on a Panama Canal cruise. So, we are sailing the Coral Princess. I feel a little sad about it. Your sentiments are relatable. Thanks.

The balcony offers a direct connection to what's happening outside, whether sailing under a bright moon or pulling into the dock. All your senses are engaged by stepping onto your balcony. You are that much closer to the ocean!

When practical, I detach from my surroundings and enjoy a visionary fantasy of my next planned cruise, filling my mind with happy, pleasant thoughts imagined as coming to pass. Ah, now I’m boarding the ship. What am I wearing? How am I feeling? If I study the ship by taking the virtual tour online, then I can easily see myself in the spaces. It’s like taking the cruise ahead of time!

Thanks for posting so many details of this cruise in your review! What a great help, even though our particular cruise will begin in LA and end in Ft. Lauderdale on the same ship. We've never been on a Princess cruise -- only Celebrity. There seem to be many similarities. Thanks, again!
