An Interesting photo from the Crown Princess

[RickEk]

We were docked in Barbados today along with P&O's Oceana (ex-Ocean Princess) and the Discovery (the first Island Princess). I just found it interesting that we were alongside two ex-Princess ships.

Wonderful photo, thanks! Ah, the old Island -- still my favourite Princess ship ever.

Hope you're having a fabulous time. How are the Chairman of the Boards (Chairmans of the Board? Chairmen of the Boards? . . . whatever!)?

They are yummy! Sorta tough to get them in Adagio, but Crooners love to make 'em.

We went to The Boatyard and spent the morning swimming and playing. In the afternoon, it was shopping time.

Perfect! We tried to buy a drink at the Boatyard, on our walk from the port round to the Hilton, but they wouldn't sell us one without buying sunbeds :(.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing them with us.:)

Interesting, thanks. I miss the Ocean Princess, one of these days we'd love to get on the Sun or the other sister ship. After a dozen or so on various Princess ships we still feel that the size and layout of OP was the best we've seen. Oh well!

Great photo. We also got to see the Discovery in Costa Rica on our Christmas cruise on the Island. Beautiful and classic ship. Very neat to see the original Island Princess and the new Island together. :)

Thanks so much for the pictures. It brought back special memories. The Island Prrincess was our first cruise for our 25th wedding anniversary. a very special place in our hearts. I didn't know she was still around. At the time we thought she was so huge and of course beautiful.

Thanks so much for posting this great picture!

 

I sailed on the original Island Princess back in 1989, and it is still a fond memory. Great to see her!

Thank you for posting the picture of the Discovery (ex-Island Princess). Our first Princess cruise was on her for an 8 day Alaska cruise RT Vancouver in 1981. In fact, it was our first cruise ever and it was so wonderful that it started our love of cruising. Your picture brought back very fond memories.

My first cruise was on the Island Princess in the 1970's

Thanks for sharing!! It is so funny to see how small the ships were when the original Island Princess was part of the Princess fleet. Man how things have changed!

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots Rick.

Thank you so much for posting these photos, as well as the New Year's Eve photo showing us what we missed (by missing the boat!!). We, too, loved Ocean Princess - perfect size and layout!! Still, would have been very happy to be on Crown again at this time. Hope everything is lovely. When you have time, we would be so pleased to hear more about the port visits and what you've enjoyed the most.

Thank you for the great pictures and memories.....The Ocean was our first, and will always be our favorite.

Thank you all for the accolades. It's always nice to be in the right place at the right time. The cruise director was saying this morning that the Discovery cannot call in the United States anymore because she is not up to "code" on her fire suppression gear.

Yes, I've been on her sisters (Dawn Princess and Sea Princess) and loved them too. I'll try to post a review when we get back. We're currently on the way to Princess Cays and then home...sigh. Sorry you missed the cruise... :(

Nice picture....GREAT STITCHING JOB!!!!!I could never quite get mine right. I sailed from San Juan P.R thru the canal to Los Angeles on an old "Love Boat" size Princess ship back in the 1980's. It wasn't the Pacific Princess. I'm not sure anymore whether it was the Sea or the Island.

Thanks for the memories!

Thanks... my Olympus point and shoot camera has a panoramic function that was very easy to use. That was my first try with it. I thought it came out well.

Great catch. Thanks for sharing.

[MattOsprey]

Great shot.

We love Oceana and have been on her twice with P&O. She has the best food on the high seas by a long way.

Not looking as grand as some of the more modern ships. Can't wait for Crown in May.
