Royal Caribbean merger?
I had heard that Royal Caribbean had merged with Princess and were dual listed. There is no mention of this in the article. Is this true? Did Carnival buy Princess from Royal Caribbean? --Kimonandreou 15:15, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Answer: Before Carnival bought the entire P&O Princess Cruises devision (including P&O Cruises, AIDA, Swan Hellenic, etc.) it was the intention for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line to buy the company. But when RCCL place a bid, Carnival placed an even higher bid, which was accepted by the P&O head office. User: Sealynx 13:10, 13 April 2007

American Cruise Line?
Carnival is the holding company for Princess. Carnival Corp is headquartered in the US and Carnival PLC is headquartered in the UK, but Carnival Corp is incorporated under the laws of Panama, while Carnival PLC is incorporated under the laws of the UK. (See for 10K at Carnival Corporation & plc 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K How would this make Princess an American cruising company? Further, Princess was part of P&O Princess and therefore a UK entity originally, see Carnival plc 2005 UK GAAP Financial Statements. Further it might be marketing toward Americans, but certainly it's not an exclusive group, since they also market toward Canadians, Europeans, New Zealanders and Australians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.138.194.101 (talk) 09:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Flags
Balddricks claimed that Princess Cruises ships fly the flag of the British Merchant Navy. That is incorrect. See a YouTube video, uploaded by Princess Cruises themselves, which shows them flying the flag of Bermuda. Huon (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Fleet
There are three separate sections for current fleet, future fleet, and former fleet, respectively. Shouldn't we consolidate this into one section with subsections for current, former, and future fleets? Sethcampbell7293 (talk) Sethcampbell7293 00:15, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
