An important point to take into consideration is the date of the latest dry-docking/renovation. A refurbished older ship can be more enjoyable than a ship that was launched later.

These are the dates of drydocks with major upgrades.

2008 - Caribbean

2009 - Golden

2011 - Grand

2011/2008 - Star

2012 - Sapphire

It's also a minor point since she had a major rework last year, but the Grand Princess was launched in 1998, not 1997.

Maiden voyage: May 27, 1998

A great point. The Sapphire just had her upgrade this year and she looks fabulous and has the new venues (IC, Vines, Alfredo's) I've sailed her several times but I would feel like I was sailing a new ship should I book her now.

Most of clark's dates are one year earlier than is accurate. Grand 1998, Coral 2003, etc. It;s also misleading to give launch dates for current ocean and pacific as those dates pre-date their joining the Princess fleet. Further, Royal Princess will not carry the designation III, it's not part of her name. Many of the ships in the fleet carry names of predecessors and none are designated II or III.

It appears that other than the Grand, the others are correct. OP was asking about the age of the ships so using 1999 for the Ocean and Pacific are the appropriate dates for comparison.
