A Flowrider on a Princess ship would be amazing for me. I hated my time on Allure of the Seas except when I was flowriding.

Sorry if this been asked before, but what is so special about the Love restaurant to justify the $149 pp charge?

I did on our partial transit aboard Island Princess, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

My Elite perks that I don't get on Celebrity or Royal Caribbean. I too like the medallion app.

The same consternation was caused with the Celebrity Edge balcony furniture back in 2018. I liked them and the new ones on Sun are no less appealing to me.

That’s what my wife says to me most nights in bed😜

It did indeed in 2013 from Southampton. We were fortunate enough to spend an afternoon aboard before the naming ceremony.

Despite the Pandemic buying my CCL shares way back in 2001 when they were P&O Princess listed was the best investment decision I’ve made. Until March 2020 the quarterly dividends paid for a 7 day cruise. Not to mention all the OBC on top.

Now booked 14 nights aboard in August 2024. So looking forward to being on a new ship in its inaugural season again. The last one was Celebrity Edge back in 2018 and there was loads of hype about it on CC. I'm somewhat surprised Sun Princess isn't receiving the same level of attention/debate!

I got quotes for August 2024 out of Gatwick this morning but won't show up this afternoon!

The 2024 Sun Princess cruise I am interested in hasn't changed in price from a week ago despite the Black Friday offers. OK, there's the £50 deposit but I have a FCD to apply anyway. Not even a few extra quid for OBC. I've been eagerly waiting for the Black Friday offers and wasted my time!

For us the ship and all it has to offer are a huge part of our holiday. We don't care if we repeat itineraries so for us having alcoholic drinks included without having to think of how much I've spent is great.

Or as the crew affectionately call it "Chateau de Gangway" 😂

The crew nickname that fizzy water Chateau de Gangway 😂

We make up a special occasion for an excuse to go as often as possible!

They are not new to Princess. All the old Sun class Princess ships had them (Sun, Sea, Dawn and Ocean). Do a picture search and you will clearly see them on these older ships!

On our Reflection cruise last month (exactly the same itinerary) I often saw cleaners working on stairways (as I only use the stairs). MDR staff were indeed working very hard but never seemed understaffed to me. My wine glass was never empty and the food always piping hot. Regarding trash, my biggest bugbear is the from those passengers that leave dirty plates, uneaten food, and half filled glasses outside their door on the floor overnight. So disrespectful to fellow guests and the poor staff that have to bend down to pick it up!

We felt no vibrations whatsoever during our entire Reflection cruise (17 July to 27 July 2023). We were in cabin 8187.

We had a “white” night on Reflection last month. The pool deck was full of people in something white and a great time was had by all.

I could say the same about cruisers eating habits!😂 You can rest asurred I have dry days when I return from a cruise

Mine would go something like this. “Max’ing” out my premium alcohol package with Champagne at breakfast. Liquor coffee at 11am Pre lunch Peroni’s White wine over lunch in the OVC Long island iced teas to cool me down at the pool bar Back on the Peroni’s in the Sunset bar at 5 pm Pre dinner Lychee martini in the Martini bar. Red wine with dinner followed by a Sambucca after dessert. Then off to the Passport bar for Belvedere vodka with lemonade to keep me hydrated between dancing at the silent disco!

Exactly what I meant!

We’re the 321 passengers selected because of their muster station location close to the damaged lifeboat! Once you have been assigned one how can it be changed mid cruise!

Here in the U.K. there would be an Admin charge and no guarantee of getting the exact same cabin on a refare. The pre booked flights may alter in price too. Some Brits will book via a US TA to get round this but you need a US address for it to work I believe!

It’s so unfair that us Brits can’t refare after the initial booking. I’d have more cruises booked way in advance if I could do what you guys can do before FP.😒
