| Princess goes green for Emerald

Preparations are already
underway at the Princess Cruises
office nearly two years ahead
of schedule for the arrival in
Australia of Emerald Princess.
The recent announcement that
the 3,082-passenger vessel will
ply its trade in local waters for the
2016/17 season (CW 09 Jan) has
the team digging out everything
of Emerald colour in the office.
As a result, the team has now
adopted green as an unofficial
company uniform, put up green
balloons throughout the office.
Green lollies, cupcakes and even
green slurpies were also rolled
out for the team to enjoy.
Emerald Princess will base itself
in Sydney from Nov 2016 for a
five-month season until Apr 2017.
It will make up a large part of
the Princess Cruises inventory
for the season, complemented
by another seasonal visitor in
Diamond Princess and the yearround
stalwarts Dawn Princess,
Sea Princess and Sun Princess
