Crown/Emerald question

Is the Emerald going to be identical to the Crown? I know the Crown has an Italian theme, anyone know about the Emerald? What are some notable differences between the two ships?

Is the Emerald going to be identical to the Crown? I know the Crown has an Italian theme, anyone know about the Emerald? What are some notable differences between the two ships?

 

I think the Emerald is going to be virtually identical to the Crown. A press release last spring said, "The new vessel will include many of the same new design elements and amenities debuting aboard the upcoming Crown Princess, including a dramatic new piazza-style atrium, new casual dining venues and expansion of some favorite shipboard areas."

 

The deck plans are available at Princess.com - check them out and compare.
