Marcy and James were able to take advantage of the Tahiti cruise they took a few years ago when the Paul Gaugan ships were acquired. I'll watch this line to see if something similar occurs. Doubtful - but you never know

We cruised her when she was the Tahitian Princess. I am surprised Princess is selling her. I wonder if they will also sell their other ship of this class, the Pacific Princess.

I hope not. I like that Princess has their small ship cruising option. With only 680 passengers, Pacific Princess remains a rarity these days with the main stream lines.

The smaller ships have a different vibe, more intimate, and you get to know the passengers better but also lack in the glam/glitz vibe that newer ships have. I suppose its what you prefer. For Tahiti I think the smaller ship was perfect. I wonder if now the pacific princess will shift over there.
