Druke I Posted March 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Back in the middle of page 4 there is a listing of ship designators. Not sure how accurate it is, but it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted March 2, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Is there a designation for the Crown Princess yet? Just curious.Yes - Crown Princess is KP. I'm not sure I've ever revised the list that's already been posted above, but maybe I ought to do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the designator in the URL for each ship's page. CB - Caribbean Princess CO - Coral Princess KP - Crown Princess DP - Dawn Princess DI - Diamond Princess NP - Golden Princess AP - Grand Princess IP - Island Princess PA - Pacific Princess GP - Regal Princess SA - Sapphire Princess CP - Sea Princess TP - Star Princess SP - Sun Princess TA - Tahitian Princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druke I Posted January 9, 2008 #15 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The two letter mnemonics are assigned by Princess, and probably are related to their maritime radio identification/call sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globaliser Posted January 9, 2008 #19 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Is this official list something that was made by Princess? ... how did these initials originate?The list wasn't made by Princess - I just took the list of ships off the website and put the letters next to them. As time has gone on, I've re-ordered the list to match the current website list order, which has changed from time to time. But the designations are definitely official, as you can see them all over the website, in different contexts - chrysalis has pointed to one of those places. We had a discussion a short while ago about why they are how they are. I suspect that an "original" list a long time ago may have been much more sensible. But as further ships came along with the same initials, different letters had to be chosen. For example, someone asked why Regal Princess was GP (see the August 2007 list, one post up from the current list). One obvious answer was that the earlier Royal Princess (not the current one) was already in the fleet and (probably) already RP. So something different, yet memorable to Princess staff, had to be picked: hence Regal Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted April 12, 2008 #20 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Updated: This is the current list of official two-letter ship designators, in the same order as on the Princess website page. You can see the designator in the URL for each ship's page. Main fleet:- CB - Caribbean Princess CO - Coral Princess KP - Crown Princess DP - Dawn Princess DI - Diamond Princess EP - Emerald Princess NP - Golden Princess AP - Grand Princess IP - Island Princess RU - Ruby Princess SA - Sapphire Princess CP - Sea Princess TP - Star Princess SP - Sun Princess The Small Ships of Princess:- PA - Pacific Princess RP - Royal Princess TA - Tahitian Princess As a matter of interest, Princess has recently announced that Tahitian Princess will be renamed Ocean Princess. This will take place while the ship is out of service during a routine maintenance period in Singapore in November 2009. What's the betting on the two-letter designator remaining the same, and causing yet further confusion in years to come? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
