Thanks, I'll look at it. Can't find where I left my look of surprise but when I find it, I'll use it...😉

Early in the thread, it was mentioned that there was a Princess webinar, for TAs I believe, to discuss the new Sanctuary Collection. Anyone on here or following attend it? I'm curious if any meaningful information came out of it.

Wow! Thanks for the details. Yes, I don't see myself booking Suites in the future. That's robbery, plain and simple. I guess it's time to try out MSC who matched my Princess Elite level with Diamond status.

Yes, the lounge is limited to Signature suite guests (agree with your assessment of lounge size). If you look at the Sanctuary Collection description on the PCL website under Premium Amenities and Services, it says "And if you’re a Sanctuary Suite guest, you’ll have exclusive access to the Suite Lounge"

That is correct. That's what the Princess rep told me on chat and said it was for all sailings in 2025. I booked a Reserve mini-suite in April 2023 on the Sun for January 2025, which has now qualified me for the Sanctuary Collection sans the Premier package.

It says in the Sanctuary Collection description that access to the Sanctuary Club is included. For this deal, the only thing in the Collection that is not included is the Premier package. I too booked a Reserve mini-suite.

I’m wondering the same thing. What exactly is the “private” restaurant for the Sanctuary Collection?

Yes, indeed!

Agreed! We like to book the Sanctuary on the Carib cruises as well and you're exactly right, we'll be lucky to find a seat. Are we now going to run into the same issue as at the main pools with people reserving chairs that stay vacant for hours?

That's what I was wondering as well - you've exploded the amount of people with access to the Sanctuary. Yikes!

Mine has changed to show "Sanctuary Class Indicator"

Yes, I recall when booking our Reserve MS that we had our own restaurant but I'm wondering which "private" restaurant they're referring to in the Sanctuary Collection promo.

Exactly. I was wondering though, was the private restaurant originally for both Signature and Reserve or were they separate?

I too received the email informing me of the complimentary upgrade. The note said I should upgrade to the Premier package but when I researched it on the Princess website, it said Premier was included. I reached an agent on chat and she said that the 2025 Sun Princess bookings made prior to April 2023 were given the upgrade but it excluded the Premier package. Same cabin, they're just including the Sanctuary Collection amenities. I couldn't get an answer but I'm guessing she meant the Reserve and Signature bookings were upgraded. I can't imagine ALL bookings were upgraded but who knows? I'm anxious to learn more about it though.

Good to know, thanks.
