What Will Be the Name of the New Princess Ship due in 2008

[JLC@SD]

The Crown Princess is in service......The Emerald Princess is due Spring of 2007 and an unnamed sister is due Fall, 2008.

 

What do you think the name of Crown Princess' and Emerald Princess' sister will be?

[T&J]

It is not unmaned it just hasn't been formally announced...I will be called the Ruby Princess....Tony

[derf5585]

Maybe they should name one the

Tanzanite Princess

[flynrph]

Maybe they should name one the

Tanzanite Princess

That's the next ship due to roll out.:rolleyes:

[Fuzzzy]

Diamond Intl Princess:D

[JLC@SD]

Since Crown is a reuse of a previous name.....maybe they will reuse Regal Princess......if the Regal leaves the fleet.

Just curious~where will the new Emerald Princess sail? I hope Alaska. :)

sounds like she will be in the Carib and Med.

 

From the Princess website:

 

A veritable floating city, Emerald Princess is the perfect complement to the Caribbean and Mediterranean

If she's cruising in the Caribbean, she (without doing a world cruise or go around the Straight of Magellan) cannot go through the Panama Canal to Alaska. The number of cruise ships able to go through the Canal and thus do multiple itineraries is getting fewer and fewer. They have to be kept either around the Atlantic or the Pacific.

Cubic Zirconia Princess

I like "Ruby Princess" too! Or "Platinum Princess"!

OMG!:mad:

[ladysail2]

...Tanzanite, Cubic Zirconia, Diamonds Int'l.....you people are too funny :D

I just knew that Tony would respond to the other 'R'-word suggestion....it won't happen Tony....Ruby is a nice name!!

Pam,

The Emerald will take over the 10-night Caribbean Medley/Islander itineraries that were formerly done by the Sun and Sea. Princess wants larger capacity vessels in the Caribbean because those are the most popular cruises. The Emerald will have a European/Mediterranean itinerary during the summer months.

 

DH and I are already considering the Emerald for January, 2008, although it's possible that we may opt for the Coral as we have yet to do the Panama Canal. It might be a good idea to wait until the "kinks" are ironed out on the new Emerald Princess - if there are any :) .

My guess is they'll stick with the jewelry theme and go with Ruby or Silver or Platinum or Opal or Amethyst or something along those lines.

OMG!:mad:

I agree – they should keep the name Regal Princess for a better ship than one with 3100 passengers and MUTS.

Chris... exactly. My point is that if the ship were doing Caribbean cruises, it couldn't do Alaska cruises as desired by one of the posters above.

And…since Princess has indicated in the past that MUTS is only destined for warm-water ships, it’s installation on the new build would mean it wouldn’t go to cold-water Alaska…

[envy4u]

OMG!:mad:

 

How about the T Princess ? :D Just for bdjam and JLC .

[JotWorld]

Silver Princess to go with Golden Princess;)

Not totally. :) The Sea Princess has MUTS and did the North Cape and Fjords itinerary this year. But the Sea Princess is an aberration from a number of perspectives.

[Lee77]

I don't understand why these companies can't come up with something original. NCL and Princess have many of the same names for ships. Why??

[bdjam]

I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean.

Well that’s true – poor Sea Princess with that big old TV hanging from the funnel making her look like she’s got a tumor. But the warm water argument is how Princess justified not retrofitting the rest of the Grand Class. If it keeps MUTS off the ships, I’ll take it.

Princess had the names first – Dawn, Sun, Star are all Princess names from the early 90’s and before.

Yup... I hear ya.

I wonder how many can spell Amythist correctly.
