Sapphire Princess is a Grand Princess class ship with minor tweaks (like different location for the disco). It has the tiered (non-private) balconies like Grand. It has a solarium pool with a covered deck which is good for cooler climates. I was on the Sapphire back in January doing the Mexican Riviera. Sea Princess is one of the Sun Princess class ships. The balconies are cut into the outer hull of the ship. She's the ship that has the best pizzeria on all the ships I've been on. I like the inside style of the Sun/Dawn/Sea Princess more than the Grand/Sapphire Princess. She doesn't have a solarium pool. What's the difference in the itineraries? --Tom |

And a major drydock and redo last fall. They added a sanctuary among other changes. So it is likely to have a lot of changes from ten years ago. The pizzaria might be gone. -- Charles |

Hi Tom, They are both for Alaska..The Sapphire is round trip Seattle and is 7 days...the Sea Princess is r/t San Francisco and is 10 days. The itineraries are pretty much the same...Maybe I should stick to HAL who does Alaska the best, but being that the cruise has to be in July, the only option I have there is the Oosterdam which is larger than the Statendam or Ryndam that we have always taken. The only other option is Bermuda on the Veendam...July pretty much restricts what we want. --Jean |

Then tack on a few days in Vancouver. That's what Charles and I did. --Tom --Tom |
