mtsnd1900 Posted May 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just read this article - looks like Princess is also jumping on the band wagon to send their best ship to cruise out of and visit New England, including Newport, Boston, and Bar Harbor..... http://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/05/16/royal-princess-new-york-cruise/2165341/ Add Princess Cruises to the list of lines sending a hot new ship to New York City. The California-based company this week announced that its soon-to-debut Royal Princess would cruise out of the Big Apple in the fall of 2014. The 3,560-passenger vessel — the line's biggest ever — will sail four seven-night voyages out of New York to Canada and New England in September and October 2014. The itinerary will include stops in Boston; Bar Harbor, Maine; Newport, R.I.; and the Atlantic Canadian ports of Halifax and Saint John. Princess' announcement comes just a month after rival Royal Caribbean revealed plans to deploy its much-awaited new Quantum of the Seas to the New York area. The 4,180-passenger vessel will operate seven- to 12-night trips out of Bayonne, N.J. after its debut in 2014. Also sailing out of New York is Norwegian Cruise Line's new, 4,028-passenger Norwegian Breakaway, which was christened in the city on May 8. The ship is being heralded as Norwegian's best ever and features a number of new-for-the-line amenities, as can be seen in our new deck-by-deck photo tour. Scheduled to debut in June, the Royal Princess will be the first new Princess ship in nearly five years and the first of a new series at the line. The vessel will boast several notable new features and amenities including a glass-bottomed SeaWalk over the ocean and an outdoor water and light show.
