The ship was completed and named Crown Princess, and operated with the Princess Cruises fleet until mid 2002, when the ship was transferred to a new P&amp;O Cruises company aimed at the German market; A&#8217;ROSA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Operating under the name Arosa Blu, the ship was one of two planned transfers to the A&#8217;ROSA fleet. Financial problems prevented the second transfer, and in September 2003, Arosa Blu was transferred to AIDA Cruises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refitted and renamed AIDAblu, the vessel reentered service in 2004, and became the fourth vessel in AIDA&#8217;s fleet.
