  1. If you mean Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 then they go on sale this week - 25th April (Elite only) and 26th April (public) - see Coral's helpful post
  2. That's correct - Majestic has an indoor pool and no surrounding cabins, Sky, Enchanted and Discovery have a retreat area with surrounding cabins. Majestic has a complimentary Conservatory relaxation area and the others have the fee-paying Sanctuary leading off from the pool.
  3. Ahh I only saw an O'Malley's food menu posted on here. Do you have all the menus? My beer drinker other half is so disappointed - like the Irish are known for their cocktails on tap! 😁
  4. Some nerdy speculation from my other half who is the beer drinker of the household... looking at the O'Malley's rendering and the table at the front on the right - is that a self-serve keg in the middle?
  5. Based on what's been announced so far....
  6. The Sea View Terrace, the forward pool on Deck 17, is open to all guests (as per the Princess Sales presentation link on post #119) as is the Wake View Terrace. It looks like the only adults-only pool could be the one on the Signature Sun Deck which is shared by Sanctuary and suite guests. So only free to suite guests. You would need to pay for it otherwise by booking a spot in the Sanctuary.
  7. Well, there is the complimentary Local restaurant on NCL which offers a pretty wide menu including Fish and Chips and a Blue Burger like O'Malley's.
  8. That would be a strange move considering they just replaced Salty Dog Gastropub on Enchanted Princess with O'Malley's Irish Pub, as per the press release.
  9. Agreed. And a couple of those dishes were free on the pub lunch - you would hope they were more substantial if they are now charging $10!
  10. Thanks Eric. Nice to see 8 pumps there instead of the usual 2! That music is a tad loud to be on the edge of the Piazza though - wouldn't it conflict with the main floor entertainment?
  11. See this other thread regarding information on the 2024/2025 schedule - looks like it will go on sale This is the thread
  12. Not seen anything since the flurry of PR from the shipyard visit 5 weeks ago. They will be focussing on the interior fitting out now but it would be good to have more progress updates. And, of course, we have found out more about O'Malley's Irish Pub in this press release, which wasn't called out specifically last month but is on the official deck plans. This has just been added to Enchanted Princess. And speculation if there will be a Catch by Rudi seafood restaurant somewhere in the mix for Sun Princess.
  13. Updates to the brochure-ware part of the Enchanted Princess Dining Options section on the Princess website too. No sample menus yet.
  14. 😁 They could have put pints of Guinness on the tables at least!
  15. Ahh, understood. Just didn't think they would leave a lone Sur La Mer limping on for one ship.
  16. Why would Harmony be going? Majestic was the first Royal class ship to have Bistro Sur La Mer so would have thought it would be the one replaced.
  17. Oh dear - taking their brand guidelines a bit too far I think!
  18. We've done quite a number of short Princess cruises out of Southampton. The only issue we have encountered is finding a seat because our lovely foggy or cool weather means everyone gathers in the Piazza and the bars inside! I recall chatting to a Food and Beverage manager pre-pandemic who mentioned that the crew had it keep the bars open later to cater for Brits but we have never found fellow guests to be that rowdy.
  19. Spotted a German interview with Rudi from December where he mentions he is creating two new restaurants for Princess including Catch by Rudi - where he is wants to something very original that has never been done in the cruise industry.
  20. The aptly named Wake View Bar has great aft views on Deck 16 - I believe there are few more tables and chairs up there now compared to when we went on her inaugural:
  21. Great summary @snoozecrooze- we just watched the video over breakfast and lol'd when we saw the bathroom render pop up! Other nuggets that interested us: - Balcony staterooms will have 2 different layouts where the bed will either be by the window or by the bathroom (Edge class ships have this) - The Sea View Terrace is designed to reduce wind (this did cause concern as it's uncovered and we know how bad the Retreat pool got on Royal class!) - The Sanctuary will have cabanas with sea views. Really not sure how they will manage access to the Signature Sun Deck if the pool is shared by the Sanctuary. What makes it special for suite guests only? And do they need to book a space in the Sanctuary as well?
