"Where
I Belong"
Indeed, a
Princess cruise ship (the Island Princess) was used for
the popular TV series "The Love Boat" and the cruise
line still benefits from that image among the older folks which
are the majority of the cruise ship passengers. What began as
the little cruise line that could - operating one small luxury
liner between Los Angeles and the Mexican Riviera in 1965 (and
later Alaska) - has evolved into a cruise industry giant.
Princess Cruises has 14 ships sailing the globe on more than 150
itineraries that range from seven to 72 days and visit some 260
ports.
Princess Cruises big news in 2004 was its near-unprecedented new
ships expansion. In the space of about three months the cruise
line added three new cruise ships. Diamond Princess, the fleet's
new biggest-ship-ever (at 116,000 tons), christened at the end
of February; followed by Caribbean Princess and then, finally,
Diamond's sister ship - Sapphire Princess.
Fleet expansion hasn't been limited to 2004, of course. In 2003,
the company launched the sister ships Coral Princess and Island
Princess. In 2002, the company acquired two cruise ships from
now-defunct Renaissance Cruises and, after minor refurbishments,
introduced Tahitian Princess and Pacific Princess. Star
Princess, a sister ship to Grand Princess, also joined the fleet
in 2002. Two new cruise ships are under construction, both
116,000 tons, the Crown Princess (due in 2008) and the Caribbean
Princess 3 (due in 2008).
Princess Cruises is now part of the industry's giant Carnival
Corporation a move that occurred when Carnival acquired the
cruise line's parent company - U.K.-based P&O Cruises. And
even though Princess Cruises is now part of the world's largest
cruise corporation, the operation of the line has, by and large,
remained the same.
The
company also has a good reputation for treating well it's
employees which explains the high rate of returning crew. It is
our opinion that Princess Cruises is one of the most highly
recommended cruise lines to work for.
