Giant Cruse Ship Moored at Dockyard, Bermuda


MS Caribbean Princess is a Grand Class cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises, with a capacity of over 3,600 passengers, the largest carrying capacity in the Princess fleet (as of 2011, Royal Princess, another Princess cruise ship, will supersede it in 2013). It has 900 balcony staterooms and a deck of mini-suites. It was the first modern cruise ship with an outdoor theater, which Princess bills as "Movies Under The Stars".[citation needed] Caribbean Princess is slightly larger than the other ships in her class (Star Princess, Golden Princess, and Grand Princess), due to the addition of an additional deck of cabins called the Riviera deck. Another difference is that, being initially designed to cruise the Caribbean year-round, there is no sliding roof over the pool area for shelter in poor weather. Currently, cruise ships regularly land at the dockyard during summer months. To serve these visitors, several former warehouses have been turned into artists shops and a pedestrian mall has opened in the clock tower building. The keep area is now the site of the Bermuda Maritime Museum and the Dolphin Quest attraction. There are also several restaurants on site. Money is still being raised to repair the remaining damaged buildings and build a second dock to attract additional cruise ships. As of April 2011 the mega-cruise ship dock has been constructed.
