Poll: Which Princess ship is your favorite?

[bobalink]

So far, we have sailed on these Princess ships:

 

Diamond

Coral

Emerald

Golden

In July, we will board the Star.

 

They are ALL my favorites. I agree with others who have mentioned that it just "feels like home" when you are on a Princess ship. I love that moment when you first board the ship. It is so fun!

We've only been on one Princess cruise which was on the Emerald Princess over this past Thanksgiving. We absolutely loved the ship. And, Princess quickly rose to the top of our list of cruiselines too. We came home after our cruise and we scheduled another cruise for April on the Emerald Princess in the very same cabin. We loved everything about the ship, including the crew, the cabin, the restaurants, everything. We love that the ship is large but you don't feel like there are very many people on the ship. We never experienced any crowds and never had to wait to be seated at dinner (anytime dining). We've always admired the hard work of the crew on all of the ships we've been on in the past, but we just felt like the Emerald Princess crew just worked their tails off to make our cruise fabulous. We loved our room steward and hope by some slim chance that we might get him again. We would recommend the Emerald Princess to anyone.

 

 

Thanks for the positive comments. We'll be on the Emerald ( our first Princess ship) next May sailing in the Baltic. Have to admit I was a bit reluctant switching ships ( was orig. booked on the Celebrity Constellation). We're also trying anytime dining for the first time.

We love the sun class ships and have been on the Sun 5 times. Love the size of that ship! By the way, Happy New year to all CC members1 We board the Ruby in Feb to complete the cruises we had to change due to me needing surgery. I am doing OK and looking forward to Feb 27th.

mine has to be the caribbean princess as it was our first cruise and also our honeymoon :D

but pleased to see the emerald mentioned so much as thats our next cruise ;)

I liked the Grand even before the drydock. It should be even better now. I am equally fond of the sister ships the Star and the Golden.

Without a doubt; SUN PRINCESS :)

[BoPippy]

so far,the Emerald is my favorite,but can't say i disliked any!

[poncho1965]

We are rookies, have been on Emerald and Ruby is all. Booked on Coral for next year. I'm really curious to see 1900 or so passengers versus 3200. Coral might become a favorite!

[Mycruises62]

Golden Princess ship is my favorite, I prefer larger ships.

We are sailing on her again in Novermber to Hawaii.

I'll have to get back to you after I try out the Sapphire on the Vancouver to Seattle 1-day this weekend, but of the two I've sailed so far, I'd have to say I like the Star a little bit better.

I don't see an actual poll, so will just type it. The SUN PRINCESS above all others is our favorite Princess ship (and class of ship). Not too big, not too small...........just right! :) :)

 

Sun Class are mine and wife's favs! Second would be the Diamond/Saffire followed by the Grand/Star, then Crown and lastly the Caribbean.

 

Haven't sailed on the smaller ships or the Island/Coral, but my guess is that those would move to the head of the list once we do.

 

I've been on the old Royal (which I loved) and the Regal, but not the Sun Class. What makes them so special? Do I need to take an Aussie trip?:D

A smaller ship (less than 2000 passengers) with all the bells and whistles of the Grand Class Ships . Sanctuary, Movies Under the Stars etc. We love the mini suites on this ship!

[CruiseAdict218]

Ive only sailed on the Caribbean Princess which I love but I have my eye on sailing on the Pacific/Ocean & Dawn/Sun/Sea Princess'

[Woobstr112G]

Ruby gets my vote.....:):):)

Have sailed Coral twice (Alaska and Panama) but love her. Next we board the Caribbean in 6 days... Interested to see a bigger ship by Princess. I am sure we will love it too!

[hogwildcruzers]

Sapphire Princess!

You don't need to head to Australia to sail on a Sun-class ship... try the 10-day Alaska voyage from San Francisco on the Sea Princess!

 

The Sun-class were very innovative ships for their time. The forward-facing buffet, wide Promenade deck, classy 4-story Atrium... they're just great ships. The Island/Coral are evolutionary updates of the Sun-class. Of the ships that I've been on my favorites in order are: Island/Coral Princess, Dawn/Sea Princess, Sapphire Princess, Golden Princess, Crown Princess and Caribbean Princess. But that's not to say that I didn't enjoy the Caribbean Princess...:) We'll be sailing on her again in July!

We have only sailed on the grand class of ship (Diamond, Sapphire, Golden, Ruby). I think we will return for our next cruise on a smaller ship and try that. We have enjoyed the large ships because of the Piazzas, the extra number of passengers (imagine that!) and the familiarity we have with the deck plans. MUTS was a very enjoyable feature on the Caribbean cruise.

[cruiserbryce]

we have only been on 3 princess cruises but so far Caribbean Princess has been our favorite...we took our Honeymoon on her 5 years ago and just went again and still loved her

[curlygirlygirl]

I'm envious of everyone who has travelled on numerous ships! I haven't been on a cruise in over 10 years... so I guess any ship would be my winner! Can't wait to see what the Sea Princess is like.

[The Wilkies]

Crown Princess. Recently got off the Diamond, didn't like it as much. Didn't find a bar which we felt completely comfortable in. No idea why !!!!

[bdjam]

When Regal Princess was in the fleet this was an easy answer. Now I'm not so sure - I do like the Sun Class ships but the original Grand Sisters are fine and they aren't particularly overwhelming. I just finished a cruise on Sapphire and while I thought her an excellent ship, she didn't seem to possess the same enveloping warmth as her sisters. I suppose now Grand is a whole different ballgame.

I did like Pacific Princess, but found the old Renaissance interiors to be a little heavy and the ships don't ride heavy seas very well.

I guess I'm stuck - Regal Princess then and now.

Thanks for the info! I have to say that I also love the Island. Love the Promenade, library, aft dipping pool, and the lower passenger number. I would love the IC and Sanctuary on her. (It has been a few years since I sailed on her) Although I enjoyed my Pacific Princess cruise, I could have used a few more bells & whistles. :) Grand Class is great too.

[pmpkn1957]

I love the Emerald. I think she is my favorite so far.... :)

 

have to agree!!! Loved it so much we are repeating a carribean trip 3/2012....

Been on the Ruby, Grand, Coral and Emerald...and loved them all, but Emerald was our favorite :)

[pcsunlover]

We've been on the Caribbean, Star, and Ruby Princess. I think my favorite was the Star Princess because there were fewer passengers and the staff was a little more friendly and attentive. But, all 3 ships and cruises were wonderful.
