Does anyone know where a Deck Plan of this ship can be found online? I have looked on Princess's website and it dont seem to be one on there yet.

My Second question is, does anyone know why this ship is does not have a high cruising speed? According to Princess on there website this ship has a MAXIMUM speed of only 21.5 Knots. I figured this being a Panamax Cruise ship with Gas Turbine Engines it would be a much faster speed like Radiance of The Seas ( which can travel over 27 Knots )and Carnival Spirit & Pride which can travel at 24 knots.

The brochure for the ship's Panama season is out and it has the deck plan..we've used it to choose a cabin for Alaska.
To increase the speed from 21 to 27 Kts means a quantum jump in power requirements and I would think that Princess does not consider it worth while for the routes they have.

Gohaze is right. Get the 2002-03 Panama Canal brochure. Looks like a nice ship regardless of what everyone says about the pods.

Thanks for everyones help. I am gonna be booking a cruise on The Coral Princess. I have been on ALOT OF CRUISES, and to be honest, my past 7 cruises have been with Carnival. Nothing wrong with Carnival, its just time for a change, and I figured The Coral Princess would be a good change. Now I will have a deck plan to kinda look and see how the ship is laid out and what all it has to offer.
Thanks for everyones help.
