What is the difference between the Princess cruise ships?

The big difference between the line's three classes of ships is the size of the vessels in the classes. If you're a fan of big ships, you'll want to gravitate to the new Royal Class vessels. If you like your cruise ships more intimate, you'll probably want to steer to the Grand Class or Coral Class vessels.

As noted above, these aren't people necessarily craving go-kart tracks and ropes courses at sea.
