|
P&O's Grand Princess held the accolade of the
largest and most expensive cruise ship afloat until delivery of Voyager
of the Seas, but despite this the range of services and facilities
offered to the 2,600 passengers on board this 109,000gt ship will still
take some effort to surpass.
Grand Princess was built at Fincantieri's Monfalcone yard near Trieste in Italy for US$450 million and constructed to meet the classification society standards of RINA and Lloyd's Register. The balconies are built out from the body of the ship rather than cutting into existing deck space. There are 1,300 staterooms – some 70% of which have outside cabins with a private verandah or balcony. Standard balconies measure around 50ft² and are spacious enough to hold two sun loungers, a table and chairs while those in the master suites have 176ft² of exterior space. Because the vessel will be mainly cruising in the Mediterranean and does not have to pass through the Panama Canal she is much wider and roomier than others of a similar size. Crew accommodation is provided for 1,100.
