CP= Caribbean Princess??

Wondering why everybody refers to the Caribbean Princess as CP?

because we are lazy and don't feel like typing out Caribbean Princess

Lisa,

Unfortunately, the initials are not unique. There's also MV Coral Princess and MV Crown Princess in the present fleet. Thus, your laziness is a source of potential confusion.

Good point! I had forgotten that MV Sea Princess got CP because MV Sun Princess already had SP in Princess's official designation! Of course, this just makes the confusion introducecd by some members' laziness even worse.

Really, we do ourselves a collective favor by spelling out the names of all ships. Shorthand can only cause confusion and many CruiseMates are not sufficiently seasoned to recognize the lines' abbreviaittions.
