The author on Fair Princess’ Boat Deck heading for his New Zealand Cruise in 2000

Welcome onboard the Fair Princess. On the next three pages we are taking you on a photographic tour of the TSS Fair Princess. I trust it will bring back many happy memories and for those who have not sailed on her, you will discover the beauty of a classic cruise ship, built as the Cunard passenger liner RMS Carinthia.

A sad note; Whilst still the Fair Princess, P&O destroyed this fine (non smoking) room, together with the annexe to the South Seas Lounge when they lined the walls with slot machines and the annex with games tables. Money, and more money seems to be all that really matters to many of the so-called modern cruise companies, which are operated by so-called -? get your act together, passengers are the name of the game! Please note, we are speaking of P&O Australia, not P&O Princess Cruises Britain, and the USA.

Photographs on ssmaritime and associate pages are by the author or from the author’s private collection. In addition there are some images that have been provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there are some photographs provided to me without details regarding the photographer/owner concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these images would be so kind to make them-selves known to me (my email address may be found on www.ssmaritime.com only), in order that due credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a multitude of my own photographs on other sites, yet these individuals either refuse to provide credit or remove them when asked, knowing full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the net. However, let us show these charlatans up and do the right thing at all times and give credit where credit is due!

This notice covers all pages, although, and I have done my best to ensure that all photographs are duly credited and that this notice is displaced on each page, that is, when a page is updated!
