In brief
MS Caribbean Princess is a modified Grand-class cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises, with a capacity of over 3,600 passengers, the largest carrying capacity in the Princess fleet until June 2013 when the new Royal Princess, another Princess ship, superseded its record. She has 900 balcony staterooms and a deck of mini-suites.
Caribbean Princess is slightly larger than the other ships in her class (Star Princess, Golden Princess, and Grand Princess), due to an additional deck of cabins called the "Riviera" deck. Another difference is that, being initially designed to cruise the Caribbean year-round, there is no sliding roof over the pool area for shelter in poor weather.

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 112,894 gross tons, Caribbean Princess is the 2,567th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 19 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 98th by tonnage — larger than 81% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
Bermuda is the country of registry for 177 vessels in this directory, of which Caribbean Princess is the 34th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (80 ships), and the median vessel measures 77,277 GT. Browse every ship flagged Bermuda.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 26 cruise ships flying the Bermuda flag, of which 11 are larger by tonnage.
Caribbean Princess was built in 2004, making it 22 years old. It is one of 1,485 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 17,188 GT; within it this ship is the 38th largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 289.6 m overall, Caribbean Princess is 91.5 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 36.0 m and a draft of 8.4 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9215490 this registry holds 60 other vessels, whose median build year is 2001 and which range from 1999 to 2010. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2004.
Its IMO number, 9215490, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 2×6 + 1×5 + 5×4 + 4×3 + 9×2 = 130 — and the last digit of that total, 0, must equal the seventh digit, 0. It does, so this number is well formed.

No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
