Isn't that rather close to when she is expected to give birth or do I confuse something here?

One interesting difference is that Diana was generally addressed and referred to as a princess at the time, whereas Kate is not (yet). It may come as a surprise to some people to discover that Kate is technically a princess.

Diana's title was HRH Princess of Wales (she was never Princess Diana). Catherine's title is HRH Duchess of Cambridge (a royal duchess normally outranks a princess) - without it she would just be known as Princess William of Wales (just like a Mrs really!!!)

I had expected Catherine to name the P&O newbuild rather than Royal Princess, but who knows she may do the double yet!!

Hi Ken

Perhaps they will be asking Prince William to name the new 141,000 grt P & O cruise ship or maybe even his grand father, Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh !

Hi Neil .... have the feeling that P&O have missed the boat. They will probably get some soap star / actress / dancer to name a new 'Azuventuriana' instead of HRH Duchess of Cambridge naming what could have been a new 'Duquesa' !!!

Absolutely appalled to find that he has felt the need to pull all his posts and leave this forum. Those responsible (and he knows who he is - he apparently knows everything ... in the UK we call them Know-it-alls!) should be ashamed.

Active members have been slowly dropping like flies. We only have four active posts today!

It doesn't have to be this way.

If people treat each other with respect and support we can still have an active and positive forum.

Thanks to all who still visit and contribute. We still get hundreds of people a day who stop by an read current and old threads. We just need more people to take a minute to share their thoughts.

Feel free to e-mail me at jkoshuta@travelserver.net if you would like to contact me directly.

It seems that egos and attitudes rule the day for some, because they always have to get that dig in, or have the last word, as if their word is sacrosanct.

People forget that we are to be kind to others and not take ourselves too seriously. Alas, in the end, we've lost good upstanding members because of a choice few and their attitudes and egos.

This site is also one of the few places that does not censor users for no reason. The main reason I consider CC to be one of the worst cruise communities on the web is the fact that they work harder to tear the cruise community down than on anything else. If you post a link to any website, even one hosted by a cruise line, it'll be censored. That does not happen here. There are not that many people in the cruise community, but those that are believe strongly in it and are very knowledgable. We need to act as a unified community and everyone should be working to better the community as a whole. I think for the most part that does get accomplished on here, and those few bad incidents while they should not be overlooked, they should not change this fact. We should be sharing our thoughts, speculations, and most importantly our cruising memories. We are a family on here and we should act as one. The only stupid posts are the ones that don't get submitted. We can all skip over posts, but that one user who mights love your post cannot benefit from it if it's not posted.
