"If there’s one significant shortcoming to mention, it’s Princess Casino. While its gambling options are fun and its high ceilings are a nice touch, the (permitted) smoking and resulting secondhand fumes (with no enclosed cigar lounge elsewhere) often linger into adjacent venues, including the sushi bar and multiple levels of the atrium."

"You'll spot the aptly named The Dome perched near the front of the ship, the first in the fleet to use a more eco-friendly fuel than normal.

It's a glass-enclosed, climate-controlled lounge where we saw a jaw-dropping acrobatic show by Cirque Éloize.

(Beware, though there's no ticket system even with premium packages, and we saw passengers lining up for up to two hours to get in to see it).

"The new Good Sam Club, is broadening its partnerships far beyond those for RVers only. Among its newest partners is Princess Cruises.

Colling continued: “We are looking forward to being able to provide individuals — especially individuals outside of the RV lifestyle — their first experience on an RV road trip. So, being able to attract that interest and get individuals to see the RV lifestyle as an opportunity, or an alternate mode of travel or vacation, is really big for us.”

"Other than the big ship on the front of the card, there's very little to distinguish the Princess Cruises® Rewards Visa® Card from any other basic, ho-hum rewards card."

"A reported 94 passengers and 20 crew members have come down with the gastrointestinal illness. That comes out to 3.7% of the 2,500+ passengers on the ship and approximately 1.8% of the 1,066 crew members. Note that these figures are the total number of people impacted during the course of the outbreak, not the number of current cases.

The symptoms reported by the CDC include diarrhea and vomiting."

Your editor buys over the counter Meclizine, same as Bonine.  Rugby brand runs about $7 or less for a 100 count bottle at most local pharmacies. Also available at Amazon.  Was recommended by my ENT Doc.  Not recommended for children due to lack of testing.

"Tilberg Design was involved in the Sun Princess project since 2017, as coordinating architects and designers of several onboard venues, including a three-story dining room, a modern two-deck lounge and a panoramic terrace with an infinity pool, according to a press release.

The vision for the design draws inspiration from a coastal lifestyle and the endless variation in nature, the company said in a statement."
