mlmbar Posted May 19, 2023 #351 Share Posted May 19, 2023 No need to apologize. This is a real learning curve. Lots of confusion, lots of different names, and categories. I think the cruise planners were initially very confused also. I think I have it figured out, but hell, I could be very wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa_snowbird Posted May 20, 2023 #354 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Has anyone booked a Cove Balcony? If it's similar to the cove balcony on the Carnival Magic, it should be great. Some people are afraid to be so close to the water, but I personally loved it. If your balcony is toward the front sometimes you can feel the sea spray if you stick you head out. One morning I even found a small fish on the floor of my cove balcony. Ha, half the people are probably terrified after reading the above and the other half probably jump to book a cove balcony!

Jemnibabe02 Posted May 28, 2023 #357 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Does it appear that the pod coffee makers will be in all cabins? They do seem to appear in all the pictures of each type of cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only mentioned in the Sky a suite amenities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cauzneffct Posted June 12, 2023 #364 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hey all. We booked a June 2025 Sun cruise, our first on Princess since 2014. Looking at the deck plans on cruisemapper, it shows a ropes course and a “roll glider track” on decks 20 and 21. Is that for real, or a remnant from a different build? We’re cruising with out boys who will be 7 and 10 and we’re curious if there have been more kid-focused additions or again, if the deck plan is a mistake.

The ship is the based upon the same base design that is already being used for Carnival and P&O. Different inside design. Suspect they decided to carry those over from the existing designs. probably carnival since they are in space otherwise not really used by Princess.

katmu Posted June 12, 2023 #366 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thanks to dudes and others for all of the great info on the Sun Princess. I booked the 7 night Med cruise on 4/5/25 this weekend. I will be solo so I’m sticking with an OV this time. I’m still super excited to have a sofa and no shower curtain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Cruisemapper and Cruisedeckplans have published are "leaks". But what I can tell you is that there will be a TA seminar happening this week discussing some new features and entertainment options onboard Sun and we may be able to confirm the existence of your aforementioned features by the end of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. We booked for the itinerary and we were assuming a certain level of boredom from our boys (an ‘us’ problem, not a Princess problem), but now I’m curious.

Cruisin Kay D Posted June 15, 2023 #369 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Just this past week I finally looked at the deck plans for Sun Princess and decided it would be so nice to be on it's 1st cruise out of Port Everglades!! So I decided to book the 1st 2 cruises for Mike & me!! Excited to be on the Inaugural 5 night + 7 night in a DA balcony on the bumpout on 12th deck. I love the new layout & look of the balcony cabins!! We sailed on the previous Sun Princess in 1996 with my parents, my sister and her husband for my sister's 50th birthday!! I noticed that there are 3 or 4 days between the arrival of the TransAtlantic passengers and when we board for the 5 nighter. Wondered if there would be Corporate or FAM tours or trips during that interim time, even perhaps some celebratory events.

mlmbar Posted June 15, 2023 #371 Share Posted June 15, 2023 After seeing the rendering of the “amusement “ area that is being planned, I am seriously considering canceling. I said princess because they don’t have roller coasters, etc! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
