The Coral has do it yourself laundries on each deck. As for the noise, the cabins are pretty well insulated however if your room is on the starboard side near the entrance to the Kids area, there could be lots of foot traffic and in some cases you might hear the kids talking. If you are on the port side you might hear some noise from the laundry room if your cabin is in the middle of the aft section. Since you are in a Cat BC room there are better locations. Myself I would prefer the BC's located on the Baha deck.

I was on one of Coral's last April Panama cruises in 2005 and there weren't more than 6 kids on the ship. The stern splash pool area near the kid's play area was one of the quietest, nicest areas on the ship. Depending on whether 4/28 is a vacation week, and that seems pretty late (April vacation here in MA is mid-April) you could be relatively kid-free. But as Largin said, for insurance, you could take another BC cabin and be sure. Cheers,

Just off Coral canal transit - had Aloha 618 (port side) - and agree with Kirsten on everything. It's a long enough cruise that there are very few kids on board unless it's during vacation time.

Hi, tothemax. Since this is a 16 night repositioning cruise, there should be very few children on the ship. We took this same cruise on the Coral a couple of years ago and had a great time. The crowd was a bit older than most Princess cruises because of its length.

 

My husband and I enjoyed it so much the last time, that we are also booked on this cruise, so we may see you on board. We don't usually book tours, so I can't help much. The one thing we do not do is get off the ship in Jamaica anymore -- the natives are so pushy that the experience isn't enjoyable.

We are also going on the Coral transit April 28. It is going to be a great trip and we have a wonderful roll call going! Please come and join us!
