sjde Posted March 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Over the years it seems I've noticed many saying they had a favorite Princess ship. Ruby and Coral Princess may have been mentioned a lot. I'd like to know what your favorite is and why-is it about the size of the ship? Perhaps the itinerary? Something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted March 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2018 My favorite Princess ship is any Grand Class ship. Love that big wrap-around Promenade deck at the front of the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tapi Posted March 14, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Golden Princess since that’s where we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. One little thing about Golden (and I’m guessing about some of her sister ships) is that there are a handful of cabins on Emerald that are sold as having a completely obstructed view but that have zero obstruction. We sailed aboard one of those and not only appreciated the unobstructed view, but also the considerably cheaper price!

paul929207 Posted March 14, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Pacific Princess. Its small size allows it into port that others can only sail by or dock way out from the town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The one I’m on. They’re all a little different with pluses and minuses. Some I like better than others. If I had to choose, of the current fleet, I’d say the Pacific Princess. My least favorite is the Grand for a a few reasons: cabins are smaller, closet storage is ½ of the Golden and later ships, the bathroom is smaller, and the One5 Lounge is nowhere near as nice as Skywalker’s.

jean s Posted March 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I do love the Coral because of its size. I also love the Grand class because I love the promenade deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted March 15, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Grand Class ships that have all-weather (indoor) pools. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted March 15, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Definitely the Pacific Princess. I love the size of the ship and that it carries so few passengers. I also like the Regal because of the awesome buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 4cats4me Posted March 15, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Sapphire used to be my favorite until they repositioned it permanently to Japan. Currently, it is the Regal, since we love the atrium and the buffet. Oddly, we love the Grand, too. Yes, it is old and leaks everywhere, but the crew were the friendliest and happiest crew we ever encountered. We love the larger balconies, especially on Caribe deck and we enjoy Club 5. We love the Grand most because we don’t have to fly or drive a long way to get on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted March 15, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2018 For the Panama Canal ... Coral! Elsewhere ... a Grand class ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towhee Posted March 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Of the current fleet, it's definitely the Pacific Princess. However our first love is the old Sky Princess (formerly Sitmar's Fair Sky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky TGO Posted March 15, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 15, 2018 My favorite ship :confused: OK I got it The Emerald Princess. Why because it reminds me of my Rowboat it’s Spectacular and Sleek-looking!! The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Day Cruiser Posted March 15, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The Sapphire because of its wider wrap-around promenade deck and covered pool. Unfortunately Princess has moved it to a part of the world too far away for me to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getting older slowly Posted March 15, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Our soft spot is the Golden as SeaHag Said "'Love that big wrap-around Promenade deck at the front of the ship" and it was the first Princess Ship we sailed on.... going to miss it when it goes to P&O and they will probably get rid of all the good things. Also Skywalkers the best views from the ship, and the vibe of the ship... favourite cabin is an aft suite with wake view.. ( like other grand class ships ) like an apartment balcony fully covered. Size 2600 pax is enough and very easy to move about the ship if deck 7 is a bit busy, go up to 8 and drop down where you want to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevs904 Posted March 15, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 15, 2018 So far it's the Coral. We do love a proper, walkable, wraparound promanade deck. That being said, we did like the atrium and buffet on the Royal. I think our next ship to try will be the Crown. Bimmer09's review convinced me.

PrincessDano Posted March 15, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 15, 2018 My favorite is the Emerald Princess, just something about it, always enjoy my time on it! Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimiq Posted March 15, 2018 #21 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Our fav Princess ships right now has to be the Regal and Royal for its beautiful Atrium and amazing buffet area. Also I find it more up to date in the choice of furniture and all aspect of the ship. If Princess would update and modernize the older ships maybe that would change my mind as the Grand Class was my favorite for so long but unfortunately Princess doesn’t put enough money to bring those ship back to this era.

donaldsc Posted March 15, 2018 #22 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pacific Princess. That is the only Princess ship that I would ever cruise on. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpelChic2001 Posted March 15, 2018 #23 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Currently my favorite ship is the Coral. We've sailed on the Coral twice, and I think the Coral is the perfect size, has comfortable public areas, and is easy to navigate. I love the indoor atrium pool, have spent many happy afternoons there. It has most of the Princess amenities, just on a smaller scale. I like the number of passengers as it never seems crowded. I have sailed on larger ships in the Princess fleet, and always felt like there were just too many people and not enough seats (in the public areas and in the dining rooms) We are currently booked on the Pacific Princess, which may become my favorite Princess ship. It is the smallest ship in the fleet, with fewer passengers. Looking forward to a great cruise later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGal999 Posted March 15, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I'm sad to see only 1 person say the Ruby. I'm sailing on Ruby in October. It'd be great to see people's thoughts on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan Posted March 15, 2018 #25 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The old Sky Princess from Sitmar because she was my first, and Coral because she is a perfect size for us. Walkable, comfortable cabins, and the best food we have had on any ship and any cruise line in a long time.
