Ship statistics needed for original Pacific Princess and Crown Princess

[FathomOfTheOpera]

I am looking for the more complete stats for the original Pacific Princess [1971] and Crown Princess [1990] (PAX, cabins, crew etc.)

 

I know that the Pacific Princess was sold to Pullmantur, and I believe they have slightly different PAX stats. Found some nice pics of her at http://www.simplonpc.co.uk though. :)

 

Also the Crown Princess is now A'Rosa Blu (http://www.cruisereviews.com/misc/ARosaBlu.htm)

 

If anyone can point me to some good links or more detailed stats, it is much appreciated.

Here is a site for the Old Crown that might help you:

And after she became A'Rosa Blu

One more time:

It looks like the Old Crown is now the AIDAblu.

The old Crown is the sister of the current Regal Princess, and most of the stats should be the same.

 

If all else fails, perhaps the World Ocean and Cruise Liner Society may be able to help you out. Try http://www.wocls.org.

 

Another good source, "Whatever happened to..." forum on Cruise Critic. The host, Doug Newman, is a wealth of information on cruise ships and their history.

Thanks all. I'll check out the links. The "Whatever happened to ..." forum sounds like the place I should have posted this thread.

It looks like the former CROWN PRINCESS has moved and changed colors again. Aparently she is now sailing as the MS Ocean Village Two, cruising for the Ocean Village line in Britain.

 

They seem to be having a hard time finding her a new home.

Don't know why, but its seems kinda of sad to see her bounced around like that. I sailed on her back in '91 on my first cruise ever, in the E. Carribbean.
