dw64 Posted February 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 6, 2013 There were new mattresses on the Island Princess Nov / Dec 2012. Beds were comfortable & we did not need a egg crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janob Posted February 7, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank you so much, your information is very helpful. Pam, we have decided on Princess. Do you have a preference between Island or Coral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highheel girl Posted February 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank you so much, your information is very helpful. Pam, we have decided on Princess. Do you have a preference between Island or Coral? They were identical, now the Coral just finished an extensive drydock adding an International Cafe and squeezing in 13 more cabins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted February 7, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank you so much, your information is very helpful. Pam, we have decided on Princess. Do you have a preference between Island or Coral? As of three weeks ago, no difference. The Coral returned from an extensive dry dock today with some new features, including an International Cafe so I'd have to give the nod to the Coral. However, if the cruise were cheaper on the Island and/or on a better date, I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highheel girl Posted February 7, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Have the beds on the Island been replaced recently? Beds are being replaced on Princess ships on an ongoing basis. No way to tell if your cabin will have new bedding. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRPro Posted February 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2013 we were in a mini suite on the Island in May and had a brand new and very comfortable mattress--no need for an egg crate topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
