As I doubt I will get around to a formal review I thought I would jot down a few observasions from Our recent cruise on the Coral.
The Good!!!
Gr8 Entertainment (Billy Vader, Greg Bonham, Willie Tyler & Lester, and Gr8 Production Shows)
Excellent Service as it seeemed like the Staff was going out of their way at every opportunity .
Food was VERY Good and well presented every night and the offerings at the Horizon Court and Outside Grill and Pizza hit the spot. The Specialty Restuarants are well worth trying if U get a chance.
Activites were VERY abundant and it always seemed like there was NEVER enough time to do everything.
The designation of the Lotus Pool (Covered Pool) as an Adult Only Pool was a BIG Plus and privided a nice relaxing atmosphere.
The Bad!!!
There seemed to be a VERY distinct odor at times around the ship and at times in the hallways and rooms of a backed up sewer for some reason which hopefully they will correct quickly.
The temperture regulation around the ship seemed to be slightly lacking IMO as some public areas seemed quite warm and even some cabins were on the warm side. Then again temperature is a personal preference and I do tend to like it a bit on the cooler side. :grin
Because of the itinerary the nightlife was a bit lacking but considering the age group was a bit older thats not a BIG surprise.
This one is just my own opinion so take it for what it is worth. IMO I believe the aft areas of this ship could of been designed far better. The Grand Class Ships really utilize the aft areas well for the pool area and disco. The aft pool area on the Coral was quiet but it always seemed like u were cramped for space and the views were minimized significantly with the design used as compared to the Aft pool areas on the Grand Class Ships. I know the Coral and Island are narrower that the Grand Class ships but I still think they could of better utilized that section of the ship with a BETTER layout.
Well thats all I can think of off the top of my head but it is late so if I remember anything else I will add it on later.

YES there were a reasonable # of kids onboard for our sailing and ALL except a handful that wanted to monopolize the adult pool area at night were VERY Well behaved. Oh U might already know this but the Lotus Pool (Covered Pool) is an Adult ONLY Pool.
