I hope someday they bring this ship to Florida so we can give it a try.
We love the Royal class ships.

They obviously haven't sailed on the Island before they butchered it a few years ago.

" A woman was upset that her cabin steward would not accept a cake she had made at home and sneaked onto the ship."

Since when has it been banned to bring your own food on a ship?

I'm waiting for even more cutbacks of the remaining Elite benefits, like laundry & possibly the setup.
I just heard last night about Carnival doing the same with a few of their upper perks- priority boarding & disembarkation. They claimed they had to many people in the upper classification.

Probably safer than going to any major event or shopping at your local mall.

Well if they're at max capacity then it may be a good time to try HAL or even go back to Celebrity for a change. We've lost so much of our Elite benefits it wouldn't make much difference to us at this point and might even be a welcomed change to see how the other people are living.

We'll be trying all three options on the next Sun Princess cruise.

Somehow I never saw the attraction of this bar.

Just wait till next year when they'll have to raise the port fees because of not getting sufficient funds because of reduced ship traffic.  ;)

  • Called 1-800-Princess to check on an existing online booking.  Got a Princess rep. who could only just barely speak English!  All he seemed interested in doing was trying to sell the premier package.


This is one thing I hate to do as I have a hearing (understanding problem) and when I get someone from another country, sometimes I just can't understand certain pronunciation  of certain words. On one of my calls I even handed the phone to my wife so she could translate for me & we just looked at each other in puzzlement.
I hate to give the person a bad review for their lack of speaking proper English but why do they hire someone for that position when they know it will only create a problem for others.

After posting I ran across this article.... funny.

Sun Princess Chatter / Re: Four Spots Onboard the All-New Sun Princess We’re Not in Love With

The Premiere reserved seating practice is abysmal. Many empty seats, and when they finally open up these seats 5 minutes before showtime, it's amusing to find people diving into the seats in an experience that reminds me of chuming the water on a fishing adventure.

I've only see the reserved seating on the Royal class ships & although they released them 5 minutes before showtime, we always arrived early to get the seats we wanted anyway. There was always a scramble for those reserved seats but I suppose on the Sun where seating seems to be limited, it might be even more so.

They'll be crying the blues after the shop owners & tour operators aren't making the same profits.
We have the same problem here in Florida with the winter snowbirds. We just adjust our schedule to work around them, like visits to restaurants, travel to stores, etc.
It's part of life. Deal with it.

Sounds like they had an interesting cruise.
At lease they had enough sense to remove the deck chairs to make room for everyone.  ;D
