strawberrypatch11 Posted January 31, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hi was just wondering, what is everyone's favourite ship out of all the Princess ships? I was thinking of going on one but they all look very appealing. I wouldn't know which one!!! The Sapphire and Diamond Princess sound great. What are they like? I would appreciate any oppinions. Thank you for you help! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Chatterer Posted January 31, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2006 There are some great and some needs to be designed differently things on each class of Princess ship. All things considered I like the Sun/Dawn sized Princess ships the best of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise fairy Posted January 31, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2006 So far, we like the Grand class ships! I like the larger ships, but not quite as large as the Carribean Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted January 31, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I will take the Coral/Island ships anytime. I will be taking my second Coral cruise in a few months. Like the design, right size of passengers(1950). Love that ship. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted January 31, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I will take the Coral/Island ships anytime. I will be taking my second Coral cruise in a few months. Like the design, right size of passengers(1950). Love that ship. Marilyn Ditto! Coral/Island is the best. Sun/Dawn/Sea next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainhouse Posted January 31, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2006 It's great to be on a cruise! Makes it hard to be critical. When it comes to cruising, I agree with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young that said, "Love the one you're with". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted January 31, 2006 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2006 In declining order: Coral class. Sun class Pacific Princess Regal Princess Grand class. My favorite was the late great Royal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongerob Posted January 31, 2006 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have two favorites - the one I was just on, and the one I'm going to be on next. :) We all have individual preferences. I wish I could sample them all enough times to decide which really is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casshew Posted January 31, 2006 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2006 My favorite was the late great Royal Princess. Why late? is she not in service anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryPoppinz Posted January 31, 2006 #12 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I'm not going to turn my nose up at any Princess ship, but my favorite is Coral Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted January 31, 2006 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Why late? is she not in service anymore?No... she went to P&O last May. We were on her 2nd to last cruise, from Manaus to Rome. She too was my favorite although I'd never been on the Pacific Princess (any of them). My favorites among the current ships: Regal Princess Coral Princess Sea Princess Sapphire Princess And, of course, the departed Royal Princess.

kftw Posted January 31, 2006 #14 Share Posted January 31, 2006 The only Princess ship we have been on was the Royal Princess, I have to say she was my favorite. Really sad to see her go. Same thing happened with Celebrity and the Meredian. Something about the smaller/older ships that have a certain charm. We'll be on the Grand Dec/06 and I'm counting the days. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr green Posted January 31, 2006 #17 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I will take Coral/Island any day. They just have to go to the right ports of call. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted January 31, 2006 #18 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Would someone tell me what class Sapphire Princess belongs to? We have only been on the Sun class (Dawn Princess) but were looking at the Sapphire. Comments online seem to be quite favorable but I was wondering which other Princess ships are in the same class. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The Sapphire and Diamond are twins. Same general floor plan as the Grand/Golden/Star, with Skywalkers moved to the aft side of the funnel, instead of suspended over the stern like on the Grand. The Caribbean/Crown/Emerald are all the same layout with an extra deck of cabins. I think the Emerald will have the Sapphire/Diamond Skywalkers layout, but it could also be the Crown too.

Thanks, I noticed that the Sapphire and Diamond were somewhat larger than the Grand and others with a capacity of about 70 more passengers. What did surprise me that the Caribbean Princess, while about 3,000 GRT less than the Sapphire, has a capacity of nearly 400 more passengers. Looks like Sapphire has a much better passenger/space ratio than CB. Has anyone been on both who can indicate whether the difference was noticeable?

bdjam Posted January 31, 2006 #25 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Regal Princess – precursor to all that followed, I think the Sitmar influence makes her special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
