JLC@SD Posted October 3, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Since Crown is a reuse of a previous name.....maybe they will reuse Regal Princess......if the Regal leaves the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the name of Crown Princess' and Emerald Princess' sister will be? Just curious~where will the new Emerald Princess sail?

JLC@SD Posted October 3, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted October 3, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted October 3, 2006 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Just curious~where will the new Emerald Princess sail? I hope Alaska. :)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.

cruzinchris Posted October 3, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2006 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.

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 :) . Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calikak Posted October 3, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdjam Posted October 3, 2006 #16 Share Posted October 3, 2006 OMG!:mad: I agree – they should keep the name Regal Princess for a better ship than one with 3100 passengers and MUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 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… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Sea Princess is an aberration from a number of perspectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee77 Posted October 3, 2006 #22 Share Posted October 3, 2006 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. 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?? Princess had the names first – Dawn, Sun, Star are all Princess names from the early 90’s and before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
