is devoted to photographs and postcards of the Princess Cruises
vessel Golden Princess, leaving on her official Maiden

actually completed a few shakedown "cruises to nowhere"
before this voyage). She left Southampton shortly after 6pm,
but her departure had been preceded by a 5pm departure of Oriana,
giving the opportunity to photograph both ships together.

- The first
official card of Golden Princess uses the same image as
a previous Grand
Princess
(use of a magnifying glass even shows the name as Grand
Princess).
Golden Princess is the second ship in the 108000grt Grand
Class, and replaced Grand Princess on her Mediterranean
and Caribbean itineraries. The third sister, Star
Princess,
was delivered in 2002, and initially operated out of LA to Mexico.
