Princess
Cruise Lines
While
many people remember Princess Cruise Lines from
the "Love Boat" television series of
the early 70's, those who have cruised on her
ships know her better for being some of the most
luxurious and spacious ships afloat. The Grand
Princess, for instance, is more of a floating
apartment building, easily dwarfing many of the
other ships that she is in port with. The size,
however, does not take away from a very intimate
and personal experience (something Princess is
known for on all of their ships).
With
their main focus being the Caribbean, Alaska and
Europe, Princess offers a greater level of formality
than many other cruise lines. The line also offers
a wide variety of cruise durations, ranging from
2 day cruises (West Coast on the Ocean Princess)
to 30 day African Cruises on the Royal Princess
(and with prices for outside staterooms starting
at less than $5,000 per person, the 30 cruise
is not such a bad deal). The 7 day cruises are
the more popular, and offer excellent options
for families and children.
The
Royal Princess has a surprisingly small cinema
and, for the more popular films, you should arrive
early to ensure a seat. Don't expect to find an
array of energetic daytime events, as she concentrates
on providing a more relaxed atmosphere for her
passengers.
