I agree, no walk around Promenade deck for a start.   Have to go on her June 18 anyway, such is life.

I am spoilt was on QM2 last March, she has everything wide Prom Deck, Huge Ballroom, glass viewing area behind bridge, even dog kennels if you are so inclined.  They also serve a room service full English hot breakfast.   Princess don't do that.

G'day, I read somewhere that Princess is recognising a pax achieving 500 sailing days on Princess by presentation of an expensive bottle of champers at the Capts.Circle Cocktail party or at the Most Travelled Passenger luncheon, that is if the respondent is invited. 

Not the $3 Korbel bubbly garbage we normally get for winning trivia or the belly flop competition.

Any truth in the above?

Not unknown for the crew to bring germs on board, some of them are not too hygienic around the ship either.   Seen a couple of them in men's restrooms not washing hands.  So not always the pax who bring on the noro.

I doubt this class action will get anywhere.

As for sanitising the Sun Princess...This ship operates from Sydney, normally arrives in around 6am, pax are off by 8.30am, boarding commences around 12.30pm.  Sure 4 hours is not a lot of cleaning time, but that's the method of operation across most lines, not just Princess.    Sanitising of a shop is ongoing though, one sees the guys around the ship wiping down stair rails, cleaning bathrooms etc.

Especially since people use the rest rooms and do not wash up afterwards.  They also do not use the sanitizer around the ship. Put people do not except responsibility for the things they do.

We'll be getting off on Mar 10.
From what I'm reading it appears to be rough weather right now...wind, rain, etc.
It might be altogether different in a month.

Thanks Mike!

I'm not to sure about Princess being totality responsible.

I'm sooooo happy to see something new besides another dance & singing routine from the Broadway hits of years ago. 
I'll b on the first Royal showing & I'd bet the place will be packed 45 minutes before showtime.
