Princess Cruises: Island Princess

Overview

Princess includes Coral Princess (as well as Island Princess, which cruises the Pacific coast) in the Sun-class category; however, she's a larger ship with a similar capacity, which means much more space per passenger. All the Personal Choice features attributed to the larger Grand-class ships were incorporated into this new design as well as a few unique additions, such as a demonstration kitchen and ceramics lab complete with kiln where ScholarShip@Sea programs are presented. The four-story atrium is similar to that on Sun-class ships, but public rooms are mainly spread fore and aft on two lower decks.

While signature rooms such as the Wheelhouse Bar are more traditional, the casino has a subtle London-like atmosphere with themed slot machines; Crooner's Bar is a retro 1960s Vegas-style martini and piano bar. In addition to the stately Princess Theater showroom, the Universe Lounge has three stages for shows and flexible seating on two levels, making it a multipurpose space.
