Title: No more day passes to access the Sanctuary on the Sun and Star Princess
Post by: Host Mike on April 23, 2024, 03:22:06 PM

"Guests not staying in a Sanctuary Collection stateroom on Sun Princess (and Star Princess) will no longer be able to pay extra to visit the Sanctuary, a spot that on previous ships has always been very popular with many cruisers."

Not that this applies directly to me as we don't reserve sanctuary seating but more and more Princess is beginning to revert to the days of old, similar to the ships of the early 1900's.

"Guests staying in a stateroom or suite designated as part of the Sanctuary Collection will enjoy exclusive access to the ship's top-deck retreat area, along with several additional amenities including a private dining room, priority specialty restaurant reservations, premium stateroom amenities, and a complimentary Princess Premier bundle."

I wonder what included in their Princess Premier bundle?

Ah, the return to the 'caste' system of old. When they rename non-package purchasers as 'steerage', we're in trouble.

While they'll never resort to calling it "steerage", it's not to far from being that lately.
