Reina del Mar Posted September 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I have just read this comment on a post about a specific cabin…and it scares me. Does anyone who is currently or has recently been on Coral Princess have any comments, please ???? ‘Good luck on Coral Princess. I’m on that ship right now and it’s like being on a floating sewer. Sewage smell on the entire ship! Crew has openly admitted there’s a plumbing problem onboard. Overall the ship is very run down andneeds a major overhaul. Hope the plumbing is fixed by the time you travel.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina del Mar Posted September 10, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hadn’t thought of a current roll call..but not sure how many would check roll call once aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamfish642 Posted September 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Any idea when her next overhauling/drydocking is scheduled for? We sail on the Coral Princess this coming March 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) We (group of 6) had no problems with our 3 Dolphin deck mini-suites when we were on her for 28 days in April. The only issue we noticed was a loud clanging noise near the rear aft starboard elevators - luckily we were all located almost fully aft - that would definitely have bothered us if our cabins had been nearby. The public areas were fine and we didn't notice any wear and tear issues. The crew was excellent. The Coral Princess has been on a world cruise since then but I don't know if that adds more wear and tear.

Thrak Posted September 10, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The majority of "plumbing issues" are caused by passengers who insist on flushing things they are not supposed to flush. Baby wipes, diapers, paper towels, napkins, etc. all get flushed by people who don't bother to follow the rules. Ship plumbing is not at all like home plumbing. When one clod plugs up the lines it affects a lot of other people and it may not always be easy to isolate the issue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people on a roll call are set to receive notifications when a new posting is made. I seriously doubt that anybody takes the time to turn off that setting once on board.

MacMadame Posted September 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I read the date somewhere but now I can't find it. I believe it's Fall 2024. It's before my cruise in January 2025 so I am interested in more information about what is planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sail on the Coral Princess this coming March 2024. October 2024. Not to question the source of the original comment as I haven't been aboard recently, but if everywhere I went on the ship had a sewage smell, I would be inclined to check my underwear.

The 2024 Australian world cruise finishes mid-August and it's after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted September 11, 2023 #12 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm trying to update the schedule for each ship. Next gap in schedule for Coral, which would imply a drydock, is 9/27/24 to 10/16/24. https://cruisingrobsblog.blogspot.com/p/princess-cruises-ship-schedule.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is correct. Dry dock in Singapore. We board the Coral on Oct 17th, 2024 (32 days to LA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
