Princess Cruises

One of the dominant cruise lines based on the number of ships and itineraries it offers, Princess Cruises has differentiated itself in the marketplace by offering a "Big Ship Choice, Small Ship Feel." Princess Cruises has excelled in building large ships that enable it to provide a wide variety of amenities delivered in a way where the experience still feels intimate.

Guests enjoy onboard service, which has improved in recent years, (as it has on many lines). Plus, Princess Cruise line's newest ships, like the Coral, Caribbean, Dawn, Sapphire and others, are incredibly well designed and executed. From the onboard pizza ovens, alternative dining at Sabatini's, the evening shows, the spa services onboard, or movies by the poolside on the large outdoor screen, the Princess cruise line delivers an experience that appeals to every taste. The newest vessels even offer an adults-only Sanctuary area on the top deck.

Princess also purveyed "Personal Choice Dining," which provides guests a choice to dine on the traditional fixed seating schedule or at their leisure. With fixed seating, each evening you dine at the same time and at the same table, so your wait staff get to know you and your preferences. Otherwise, you can dine in an "open-seating" dining room anytime you wish during dining hours, and you can make reservations at a different time each day.

A new innovation is The Chef's Table. For a charge, up to 12 passengers can enjoy an up-close look at a busy ship's galley that serves up to 3,000 dinners per night. (Most galley tours on cruise ships take place between meals, not during.) Guests enjoy specially prepared appetizers, followed by a multicourse tasting menu at the executive chef's VIP table.

Sabatini's is a Princess tradition - a special evening featuring a plethora of courses of Italian specialties.

With many families with children cruising the world, cruise lines have realized the need to create more private areas for adults. Princess Cruises is introducing the Sanctuary on select ships, an adults-only, quiet retreat populated with trees, cushioned loungers and massage cabanas.

The are has proved so popular that there is now a nominal fee to use the space. The charge includes chilled face towels and Evian water atomizers dispensed by stewards. In addition, guests can order from a menu of healthy snacks, rent an MP3 player with relaxation music, or get a massage.

Because Princess ships are registered in Bermuda, weddings officiated by the captain onboard are legal. The onboard wedding chapels feature a Wedding Cam that carries the ceremony live on the Internet so that friends and family back home can view the event online. "Engagement Under the Stars" allows a groom-to-be to have a marriage proposal videotaped by one of the ship's videographers and then broadcast on the ship's giant outdoor movie screen on pool deck.

Or maybe you'd prefer to take an Alaskan cruise and fly by helicopter to the top of a glacier for a private wedding service.
