She is big. She is bold. And whether she is beautiful remains to be seen as we travel to Southampton, England on a sunny day in May, 2001 to witness the birth of a new Princess. At 108,865 gross register tons, Golden Princess is not exactly a lightweight, but after getting to know Princess Cruises' new baby it seems she was well worth the 2 year pregnancy. Delivered well in time for her spring debut, Italian builders Fincantieri managed to create a stunning sister to the 1998-delivered Grand Princess. Costing an amazing US$ 450 million, Golden Princess spent her first summer in Mediterranean waters before heading to Florida for a winter in the warm Caribbean.
