Great video Foyagers and delightful music. Can't stand the narrated videos e.g. "these are the stairs going up, here is a bun at the buffet, this is a swimming pool"......Love this ship and her twin the Ocean Princess (now MS Sirena). So different than the other Princess ships (Princess bought them from the investors who sold them when Renaissance Cruises went bankrupt). Nice to see a ship with understated class, dignity, and charm. You can have your water slides, rock climbing, robotic bartenders and such, I will take this ship any day. CLASS: high quality : ELEGANCE. Bigger is not always better. I hope Princess keeps her! Good luck to all who sail on her!
Love this ship - we were just on her for the Renaissance Explorer in December and it was a wonderful experience. I will come back to this video just for the memories! Just one correction - the passenger count should be 688 passengers (lower berths); 826 passengers (all berths).
cllindse, thank you so much for viewing and commenting. We were onboard for the New Year's/Holiday sailing, and had a wonderful time. Thank you, as well, for your correction. The numbers we used were taken directly from the Princess website: (www.princess.com/news/backgrounders_and_fact_sheets/factsheet/Pacific-Princess-Fact-Sheet.html). I do understand that, as R3, she was one of the first five R-ships, which had minisuites (as opposed to the later numbers, which did not). That may account for the discrepancy? We hope that Princess does not soon find a buyer for her, as she offers a unique product to those of us who are fond of the Princess product, but prefer more intimate ships. Happy New Year!
@@foyagers I agree. I started cruising as a teen in the sixties when the ships ranged in size from about 15000 tons to 30000. So this felt really good to be on a ship this size and where it felt like family. I will really miss it if they sell her.
@@foyagers I wonder if they were counting crew beds too or if they used the figure including full capacity with upper berths? - When I go to Princess website, Pacific Princess, it says 670 passengers and 338 cabins.
I started cruising as a child in the sixties, as well. The old Homeric and Amerikanis were my first. Then, in the 80s, we honeymooned on the Dolphin and sailed repeatedly on Seabreeze. We graduated to NCL (Skyward, Seaward, etc) then RCCL (Nordic Prince, Song of Norway, etc.) We remember when NCL acquired the Norway and the Cruise Director (who we knew from the smaller ships) lamented about how on "the big ship" he was more of a manager and didn't have time to get to interact with and know the passengers as he did on the smaller ships. Today, it's about revenue per sailing, and the economy is in scale.
First viewing the video I thought, oh no, it’s too small, central atrium isn’t for me, but might just be perfect and more personal. Hope if to see her in Tahiti but coronavirus got me down. Please recover world 🙏
Would have been nice if you took the time to focus on each sign when entering a different venue so we know what were looking at and take a little more time show the whole room not very helpful.
my husband & I sailed round the worid on this ship in 2008....lovely ship, lovely crew, & most amazing journey of a lifetime
What a great ship for a world cruise. Thank you for watching!

We, too, are hoping that she doesn't fall prey to the "sell off". Thank you for watching and your comments1
Top 10 cruises 🚢

Thank you for watching; Go Canes!
Thanks for the video. I am going to be sailing on her next year for 24 days. Look forward to it, the ship looks beautiful.
Thank you, Pat. Bon Voyage!

Good question...

Victoria, we too, are looking forward to getting through this pandemic and enjoying cruises again. Stay safe/healthy, and thank you for watching!
This is the old pacific princess from the tv show or the new one?
The "new" one. She has since been sold, and is now sailing as the Azamara Onward.
I believe the old one from the tv show as scrapped in 2012
