Royal Princess (1984) / Artemis

[Host Sharon]

A friend and I have been commissioned to write a book on Royal Princess / Artemis. We would be interested in any photographs, memorablilia, memories, information etc anyone might have. The ship was state of the art for her time with a lot of "firsts". As she is leaving P&O next April we would like the book to be a true "tribute" to a lovely ship.

I have a plaque from the inaugural cruise from Southampton to Ft. Lauderdale... along with the original, British 'Postal Cover' to commemorate it.

You might want to post this on the Princess board too. There are many fans of the original Royal Princess there...

 

She is a beautiful ship!

I have my original Princess Patters and Menus from a May 1988 cruise on the Royal Princess. If you still need info on the ship.

The original Royal Princess was my first Princess ship on which I sailed.  First itinerary was a Christmas cruise from San Juan to Acapulco in 1986 (I think).  Then, a re-positioning cruise from Fort Lauderdale-Manaus-Civitavechia in 2004 or 2005.  Would what I have somewhere in my archives help?
