Sun Princess Chatter / Old timers can stream Netflix on the Sun Princess
« on: May 02, 2024, 03:10:08 PM »
"Thankfully, the Sun Princess is equipped with Elon Musk’s magical internet and this enabled us to join video meetings but also upload to social media, stream Netflix and more; this was a pleasant surprise. While the younger generation gets a lot of stick for being glued to their phones, a quick look around the ship showed that even the older generation loved the enhanced connectivity with phones and tablets in hand everywhere. Whether for solitaire or scrolling, it’s a welcomed addition."

Sun Princess Chatter / Sun Princess casino smoke fumes spread to sushi bar and multiple atrium levels
« on: April 29, 2024, 08:08:13 AM »
"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."

Sun Princess Chatter / Two hour line up to get in to see the Dome lounge show
« on: April 29, 2024, 07:50:11 AM »
"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).
