Princess Cruises: Golden Princess

Grand Class review covers: Golden Princess, Grand Princess, Star Princess

Overview

When Grand Princess was introduced as the world's largest cruise ship in 1998, she also boasted one of the most distinctive profiles. Not only did the Skywalker's Disco appear futuristic, hovering approximately 150 feet above the water line, but Grand-class vessels also advanced the idea of floating resort to an entirely new level with more than 700 staterooms that included private balconies.

Like their predecessors, the interiors of Grand-class ships feature soothing pastel tones with splashy glamour in the sweeping staircases and marble-floor atriums. Surprisingly intimate for such large ships, human scale in public lounges is achieved by judicious placement of furniture as unobtrusive room dividers.

The 300-square-foot Times Square-style LED screen that hovers over Grand Princess's Terrace Pool shows up to seven movies or events daily.
