New Embarcation Lounge in Ft. Lauderdale
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Guardsy's topic in Princess Cruises
Yes, you need to get to the Go Lounge on your own. Don’t know the answer about the thermal suite. When are you arriving at FLL? -
And yes it is meant to be a quiet space. We were warned one time that they would kick us out if we didn’t quiet down. There were four of us and we were laughing a bit too loud for an extended period of time. Ooops! 🤪

Sun Princess Signature suite questions answered!
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Sox Fan Cruiser's topic in Princess Cruises
They have waved our specialty dining room meal on another day recently. Not sure it actually went away if you mention it to the concierge. Not demand it but use sort of “ mention it”.🤪 -

And as a reminder, I won’t be answering live. I will get all the answers I can and will post when I get home. -

Signature Collection Questions · Overall experience · Embarkation experience (from Rome) · Sanctuary/Sun Deck o Overall experience o Aft view o Cost? o Reserve Loungers? o Shade? o Access to main area of Sanctuary? o Sit in main area if Signature area is full? o Food? o Bar? o Price of cabanas? Suites get first choice? Reservation process. o Afternoon tea? o Kids? · Signature Restaurant o Menu o Different from Reserve Restaurant o Different from Main Dining Room o Breakfast o Different each day o Fresh squeezed orange juice o Noise from the Piazza o Mimosa’s for breakfast o Can we attend the Reserve restaurant · Signature Lounge o Overall experience o Bar Service o Concierge o Crowded? o Happy hours? o Entertainment o Food/Snacks · Misc o Aft elevators o Special Restaurant first night – book onboard (SOXFAN: If I try to book it on the app it is charging my credit card so I don’t want to do that. I like to go to the suite dining room the first night to “report in”. But I will ask) o Access to Enclave o What restaurants are part of the first night program. o Balcony furniture? Recline or don’t recline. o Reservations for the shows o Bathroom amenities o NOTE: I won’t be taking pictures of menus or food as I just like to enjoy my meal. We don’t go to shows but we still ask the relevant questions above. -
I know it’s a long way away but when will the 2026 British Isles cruise come out. (Yes, I have to have 2 years of cruises booked)

Sun Princess - Spellbound question

I knew I liked you! -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
Is prime rib that special? As someone who doesn’t eat dead cow, it looks disgusting. Raw and just a big slab of meat. Living in Boston, the fact that people get all ramped up about the lobster they serve on a ship is ridiculous too. If you enjoy this, then enjoy. But for me, this whole “prime rib trolly cart” in the Signature restaurant is a complete joke. -
A game changer coming for Florida cruising
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to PescadoAmarillo's topic in Princess Cruises
Princess doesn’t wow anymore. This “game changer” will not be anything that WE consider special. -

Good point! 🤪 -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
The money didn't bother me and I was even willing to put on a tie (the horror!!) but the meal was the deal breaker for me. I'm not paying $150 for salmon!! And that picture of the shrimp dish looked absolutely awful!! I'll give up my seat so someone else can enjoy this experience. -
The big production shows are not ready yet but the word is "soon". Not sure what "soon" is. There are some other smaller shows starting to happen. I'll let you know in TEN days!! 🙂

If you scroll back to post 59, you will see the menu. -

And suit and tie or dress pants a blazer, collared shirt and tie is the same outfit. It’s just if they are made by the same material or not. -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
Salmon? Prime rib? Um, no. Not anything special. Another Princess fail. If you are going to make dinner part of the “special experience” make it special. I did not care at all about the price and was willing to pay any amount. Dinner not special. Have to wear a tie. I’m not THAT into magic. Would rather sit on my balcony and watch the sea. Again, that’s what makes cruising great, so many different things for different people. -

And the "we" in my post is 5:00_Somewhere so I least we are consistent! 🙂 -

Even the menu isn't that exciting. I think we are going to pass. -

Suit and tie?! Ugh. -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
Still nothing for me to book anymore. I assume it will come back at some point. -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
We’ve been told it isn’t available until the 4/8 cruise. They may have some “by invitation only” seatings to try it out and that would mean suites. But again it’s an uneducated guess -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
My (uneducated) guess is that they rolled it out incorrectly with the 5, 6:30 and 8pm times. And they are fixing it. But what do I know!?!? -

Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
Uh oh. It’s not on the app anymore. Maybe it won’t be ready for our sailing as planned. Now I have to obsess about something else! 😜 -

Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
What time did you book? I’m a little (some would say a lot!) neurotic so I’m checking every hour or so! 🤪 -
Sun Princess - Spellbound question
Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
I’m both Elite and Suite and nothing. Just be patient, it will show up soon. I’m in IT and I would never work for Princess. They are not the best at anything technical. 🤪 -

Sox Fan Cruiser replied to Strauss1020's topic in Princess Cruises
Interesting. Because I’m on the April 8th cruise and we can’t book a time yet. It still says “coming soon”
