Unfortunately, Princess has almost completely removed any mention of Park 19 from their website advertising from what I can see - see for yourself at Princess.com booking a future cruise. This tells me they will not be opening it at all. Also since they will rename everything as "Sanctuary Suites" soon - wasn't the potential noise a problem with that area? Maybe that will be a good excuse to remove the glider. There must have been some sort of technical safety issue making it unusable. I suspect this is going to really hit the Caribbean trips the hardest, as at least in Europe, hey, you are touring around Europe most of the time. They must be keeping a low profile as to not welcome cancellations from trips that are still within that timeframe. Maybe on the transatlantic trip they are planning on doing something else with the space? I am no expert on engineering, but I wonder if they could make the entire roller glider a giant slide of some sort. Turn the ropes course into a bunch of rock climbing walls? I'm sure corporate is taking all proposals for the remodel / removal of this attraction. Obviously a huge bummer, and more so a giant eye sore for those paying full price with children on board. It would be fair to offer passengers some sort of relief and to be frank with those within the cancellation period. Anyway, to those who are bummed out, best to make the best of it. It could be worse! Your kids could have had an accident on an unsafe attraction and ended up in the water. August 3rd in a Sky Suite - see you on board!
