Island PrincessSister ship to the Coral Princess, the new Island Princess boasts the big ship choice and small ship feel that distinguishes the Princess fleet. She's a fascinating blend of features that have become a tradition aboard previous ships, including a myriad of places to dine and be entertained. Debuting in May 2003, Island Princess will feature a New Orleans-style restaurant, a cigar bar, a TV studio, and a casino with a London street theme.
