After that, he joined Princess in 1995, and climbed the ranks and was promoted to Captain in 2007.

Captain Street was born in Norfolk, England and spent most of his childhood growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland. He joined Princess in 1990 and climbed the ranks to qualify as 3rd Officer in 1993. In 2008, he was given the honor of first command for the Star Princess.
Majestic Princess
Majestic Princess will feature a lot of the same things as Royal and Regal Princess, but with different flares for the Chinese market, where she will be homeported year-round. She will feature a multi-story atrium, an over-the-ocean SeaWalk, a special Chef’s Table Lumiere, where guests will be surrounded with a curtain of light, and more. Majestic Princess will carry 3,560 guests and debut in spring 2017.
